The Maharashtra Premier League 2025 ended with a thrilling final as Eagle Nashik Titans (ENT) sealed a well-deserved 6-wicket victory over Raigad Royals (RGD) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Entering a strong campaign, ENT chased 191 in a mere 19.1 overs to win their first MPL title.

Raigad Royals Innings

Batting first, Raigad Royals got off to a dismal start with opener Vicky Ostwal getting out for a duck in the very first over. And then there followed an amazing rescue act by Siddhesh Veer, who took charge with a brilliant 99 off 59 balls*, one run short of a dream hundred in the last. He was ably supported by Harsh Mogaveera, who smashed 48 of 39 balls, and Niraj Joshi, who contributed 27 off 18 balls. Veer's innings was a mix of aggression and composure, holding the innings together and taking it to quick runs in the death overs. Raigad finished with a menacing 190/4 in 20 overs, giving themselves a genuine chance of winning the title.

However, despite the big score, the Royals' momentum faded in the final overs. Eagle Nashik Titans' bowlers kept things tight enough to prevent a 200-plus total. Mukesh Choudhary (2/42) bagged two important wickets, and Kaushal Tambe (1/36) and Prashant Solanki (1/42) contributed.

In reply, Eagle Nashik Titans took off on a good note with Mandar Bhandari (28 off 22) and Arshin Kulkarni giving a solid platform. Kulkarni occupied a master anchor-aggressor's position, blasting 77 from 53 balls with five boundaries and four sixes. His innings turned the game towards ENT and tired out Raigad's bowling department. Raigad Royals could not manage to deliver breakthroughs at important stages and were disappointed by their bowling under pressure. Except for Tanay Sanghvi (2/31), none of the bowlers could trouble the Titans' middle order.

While the game reaching ending, Ranjeet Nikam launched a counterattack with 31 off only 13 balls before closing the game and Atharva Kale with a blazing 23 off 7 balls*, completing the chase on 191/4 in 19.1 overs.

In Qualifier 2 of the 2025 Maharashtra Premier League (MPL), Raigad Royals performed under pressure to defeat Puneri Bappa by 25 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, and booked their place in the grand finale against Eagle Nashik Titans.

Raigad Royals Innings

Raigad Royals opted to bat first and scored a total of 133/9 in their 20 overs. Siddhesh Veer led the charge with a cautious 42 off 40 deliveries, keeping the innings together, while Omkar Khatpe contributed 21 off 24. There was a useful contribution of 11 off 9 from Vicky Ostwal at the end. Puneri Bappa's bowling effort kept the stranglehold tight, spearheaded by Ramakrishna Ghosh (2/25), Nikit Dhumal (2/39), and Yash Kshirsagar (1/8 in 2 overs), who collaborated well to restrict Raigad to a chaseable target.

Puneri Bappa Innings

Pursuing 134, Puneri Bappa struggled from the very beginning and were never in the contest, being bowled out for 108 in 18.5 overs. Rushikesh Sonavne put up some resistance with a solid 30 off 30 balls, and Suraj Shinde attempted to provide a push with a 22 off 16. But the Royals' bowlers were merciless—Nikhil Kadam was the pick of the pack with 3/32, while Vicky Ostwal (2/16) and Tanay Sanghvi (2/21) shared key breakthroughs to break the Bappa top order.

With this win, Raigad Royals stormed into the MPL 2025 Final, setting up a high-octane championship clash against Eagle Nashik Titans. The stage is now ready for a blockbuster finale at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, where the two best teams of the league will battle it out for supremacy.

Puneri Bappa vs Raigad Royals: Match Scorecard

Raigad Royals – 133/9 (20 Overs)

Puneri Bappa – 108/10 (18.5 Overs)

A hard-fought battle unfolded at the MCA Stadium in Pune as it geared up to host the high-octane Eliminator clash of the Maharashtra Premier League 2025 between Raigad Royals and Kolhapur Tuskers. In this epic thriller, a bizarre incident came to light as a result of a comical fielding lapse committed by the Kolhapur Tuskers.

During the run chase, Raigad Royals' Vicky Ostwal rode his luck to escape a run-out scare. Facing up to Atman Pore, Ostwal played a solid-looking back-foot punch shot through the offside and managed to pierce the gap between the two fielders at cover. The ball was not entirely timed out of the middle of the bat, but the second run was certainly on the cards. 

What should have been a routine exercise turned out to be an absolute nightmare. While turning for the second run, Ostwal bumped into his partner, and as a result, both of them instantly hit the ground upon impact. Funnily enough, Kolhapur Tuskers let this opportunity slip through their fingers. The throw came to the keeper's end when Ostwal was miles out of his crease.

Instead of whipping the bails at his end, he made an unusual move to pass the ball back to the bowler. Pore failed to collect the ball cleanly, and by the time he broke the stumps, the batter was in. However, the possibility of Ostwal being run out loomed large as he was still at the center of the pitch. But that chance also went begging. The fielder who collected the ball started running to the striker's end. Upon seeing that, Ostwal also started running with the bat in his hand. After making some ground, the Tuskers aimed at the stumps but missed them by some distance. But with no one backing up at the striker's end, Ostwal was harmlessly able to make his ground without even breaking a sweat.

Thanks to a comedy of errors on the field, Ostwal managed to survive a run-out scare from a very unlikely situation. The missed opportunity turned out to be a costly miss for Kolhapur Tuskers as Ostwal went on to deliver a match-winning contribution of 74 (54), helping his side prevail in a do-or-die Eliminator. On the back of this win, Raigad Royals have booked their spot for the second Qualifier and will face Puneri Bappa on Saturday. 

In Qualifier 1 of the 2025 Maharashtra Premier League (MPL), Eagle Nashik Titans put on an emphatic all-round performance to defeat Puneri Bappa by 8 wickets at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. With this disciplined victory, ENT became the first team to qualify for the grand finale of MPL 2025.

Puneri Bappa Innings

Puneri Bappa, after being required to bat first, scored 153/8 in their 20 overs. Rushikesh Sonavne staged the innings in addition to a calm 67 off 52 deliveries, keeping the side intact while Murtaza Trunkwala (28 off 21) and Suraj Shinde (22 off 16) contributed handy cameos. Though with good beginnings, PB could not escape thanks to relentless blows from the bowlers of the Titans—skipper Prashant Solanki was the leader of the pack with a fine 3/23, ably aided by Akshay Waikar (2/21) and Mukesh Choudhary (2/33), holding Bappa under par on a conducive batting track.

Eagle Nashik Titans Innings

In response, Eagle Nashik Titans easily pursued the 154-run target, gliding to 157/2 in 17.2 overs. Mandar Bhandari was the perfectionist with the bat, thumping a free-scoring 58 from 40 balls. He was ably supported by Sahil Parakh (38 from 24) and Ranjeet Nikam, who sealed the deal with an unbeaten 33 from a mere 16 balls. The top order of the Titans never looked under pressure, dominating right through.

With this emphatic win, Eagle Nashik Titans walked into the MPL 2025 Final, exhibiting dominance in all facets. Puneri Bappa, meanwhile, will have another opportunity in Qualifier 2 to battle for a spot in the final.
