Leg spinner Ashwin Malawade picked up four wickets but his team, Don Bosco were shot out for 88 with Shardashram left-arm spinner Dinar Gaonkar capturing four wickets for just 15 runs.

Pankaj Ojha's superb all-round performance helped Rizvi Springfield defeat SV Patelby 54 runs. Ojha scored 71 with ten boundaries and then captured three wickets for 19 runs.
