That's it from this match, folks! Hope you enjoyed our coverage. It's the pair of Rudransh and Darpan signing off for now but there's a lot more cricket coming your way. Read some articles, and then maybe hop-on to the South Africa-Sri Lanka T20 WC game? See you!
Prashant Solanki (ENT captain): Our team has role-specific players and we saw that today when we lost early wickets. Ranjeet and Atharva did the job. [On Arshin and Mukesh's performance in the death overs] Role-specific players, that's what it is. Mukesh, you know, has played a lot in the IPL and I had full trust in him to perform well in that stage.
Ranjeet Nikam is the Player of the Match, here's what he has to say: It was nothing much, I just focussed on playing long and then getting the boundaries. The mindset was nothing different. Kale's innings helped me a lot. It helped me spend time on the wicket.
Time for the presentations...
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Puneri Bappa Captain): To be really honest, I feel we lost by just one hit. The umpiring error on the free hit cost us. I do what the team needs me to. This is an inexperienced side, they require me below in the order. The left arm wrist spinner bowled well. Hopefully, we can have more and more people coming into watch as the tournament goes on. I had a good break over the last 3 days. But it is part and parcel of the game.
A massive win for ENT. They have outperformed Puneri Bappa in every department and truly deserve the points. The match was half-won when the batting recovered well from the early breakthroughs to put up 190+ when the pitch was difficult to bat on.
Arshin Kulkarni made the difference with early wickets in the second innings. Kshirsagar and Damle put up a bit of a show in the middle-overs as Gaikwad pushed himself right down to number five. Solanki became a massive target for the Puneri batters and conceded more than 1/4th the target. But on the other end, Sawant kept it tight and picked up two.
Gaikwad showed his class and took the game deep, taking Kulkarni down in the 18th over. However, Mukesh Choudhary's brilliant 19th ended in his wicket, leaving Kulkarni more than enough to defend in the final. Gaikwad would surely come back to this decision but ENT won't care.

19.6 Arshin Kulkarni to Rsohan Wasghsare, misses. Length ball, Waghsare swings with all his might and connects with nothing but air molecules. The keeper misses too but it does not matter. Eagle Nashik Titans win the match.
Roshan Waghsare, RHB, is the last man in
Beauty again! Chowdhary gave him the platform and the youngster holds his nerve!
19.5 Arshin Kulkarni to Vivek Selar, BOWLED! WHAT AN ANSWER! Full ball, almost a yorker. The batter cleared his front leg and tried to deploy the good 'ol helicopter. Missed it altogether. Stumps are shattered, so are Puneri Bappa's hopes.
