Batting first, Autodeal MCC Mangalore Masters piled up a daunting 210/8 in their 20 overs, with their top order flexing its muscle from ball one. Suhail Zaki’s rollicking 37 off 22 set the tempo, dispatching the new ball to all parts of the ground. Rahul Shetty anchored with a classy 47 from 34 balls, playing the quintessential sheet anchor role while boundaries kept flowing from his blade. At the other end, Mohammed Thakiyudheen announced himself with a whirlwind 38 off just 21, muscling six fours and two sixes in a cameo that left the opposition rattled. Contributions down the order from Mohammad Shahir (30 off 15) and a final flourish by Praatham Mahale (19* off 7) ensured Autodeal MCC crossed the psychological 200-mark with panache. The innings was a blend of elegance and brute force, with partnerships stitched at critical junctures that crushed any hopes Gwalior Knights had of restricting the run flow.

The Gwalior chase, however, never really took off. Thakiyudheen, fresh from his batting cameo, transformed into a wrecker-in-chief with the ball, dismantling the batting order like a man possessed. His unplayable pace and deceptive movement yielded figures of 7/21 in just 3.4 overs — a spell straight out of cricketing folklore. None of the Knights’ batters could cope with his hostile burst; wickets tumbled in clusters, leaving the scoreboard in tatters. Only Bagee Gopal (23) and Shiyad Meleveetill (23) offered fleeting resistance, briefly raising hopes with aggressive cameos before perishing. Rahul Shetty and Muhammed Fazil complemented Thakiyudheen’s heroics with sharp catches, while Praatham chipped in with two wickets. The Knights folded for 124 in 16.4 overs, handing Autodeal MCC a thumping 86-run win that underlined the gulf between the two sides on the night.
