NGL vs MUM – Mumbai Took the Win With Ease

Nagaland batted first but Mumbai’s bowlers showed no mercy, with Mohit Avasthi and Shardul Thakur cutting through the lineup and dismissing them for just 107. Dega Nischal scored 42 and captain Rongsen Jonathan added 24, but once they fell to Avasthi the innings collapsed without resistance. The discipline of Mumbai’s attack never allowed Nagaland to build momentum, keeping the pressure tight from start to finish. In reply, Mumbai’s chase was commanding as Prithvi Shaw struck a fluent 40 while Angkrish Raghuvanshi anchored the innings with an unbeaten 41. Their 77-run stand removed all doubt about the result, and with 47 balls left unused, Mumbai coasted home to a win that looked inevitable from the very first over.
