Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals: A commanding unbeaten half-century by skipper Siddesh Lad and a fiery five-wicket haul by pacer Rohan Raje propelled Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals into the final of the T20 Mumbai League 2025 with a comprehensive 8-wicket win over Eagle Thane Strikers at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.
On a pitch that offered generous movement and bounce, Raje exploited the conditions brilliantly, returning figures of 5/40 — the first five-wicket haul of the season and just the fourth in the tournament’s history. His effort dismantled the Strikers' batting unit, restricting them to a modest 131/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
Batting first after winning the toss, the Strikers struggled to find momentum. Raje, supported by left-arm spinner Aditya Dhumal, ripped through the top and middle order, reducing them to 57/4 inside 10 overs.
