Ruturaj Gaikwad top-scored with 116 runs while Saurabh Nawale and Arshin Kulkarni followed closely behind with 66 and 50 runs, respectively. Chandigarh were bundled out for 209 which gave the batters the edge to score an additional 359 runs; this time, opener Prithvi Shaw led the onslaught with 222 runs while Siddhesh Veer was next in line with 62 runs. The bowlers managed to dismiss the opposition for 319 runs which led the Ankit Bawne-led team to victory by an impressive margin of 144 runs.
