Meanwhile, Bandra Blasters, captained by Suved Parkar, were in action in the opening match. However, they were beaten by nine wickets by Eagle Thane Strikers, who made a mockery of a 190-run target, successfully chasing it in 15.2 overs.

NMP vs BB: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Ajinkya Rahane

The veteran batter got off to a flying start in the last game as he scored 24 off just 14 balls against Triumph Knights Mumbai North East. Ajinkya Rahane hit three fours and one six in his innings before getting out to left-arm spinner Sagar Mishra.  The 37-year-old would want to capitalise if he gets a start in the upcoming game.

Probable Best Bowler: Mohit Avasthi

Mohit Avasthi had a brilliant start to the campaign in the match between NMP and Triumph Knights. The 33-year-old right-arm seamer picked up two wickets and gave away just 32 runs. Mohit will have an important role to play when the ball is new. However, he would have to bowl a few intense overs at the death as well.
