In a thrilling encounter at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, Raigad Royals won a close 2-run (DLS method) victory over Satara Warriors in Match 25 of the 2025 Maharashtra Premier League (MPL). The rain-disrupted match was cut down to 10 overs per team, and the excitement and drama were piled on as both teams fought tooth and nail for valuable points from the league phase. With playoff hopes mounting, Raigad was able to keep their cool in a game where margins were paper-thin.

Raigad Royals Innings

Batting first after Satara chose to field, Raigad Royals scored 85/3 in their 10 overs. Siddhesh Veer consolidated the innings with a strong 33 off 23 deliveries, aided by Digvijay Patil, who added 16 off 18. While the Royals kept wickets in hand, they couldn't fully accelerate at the death, with tight overs from Rajvardhan Hangargekar (1/21), Shubham Maid (0/6 from 1 over), and Shamshuzama Kazi (0/10) limiting the total below par.

Satara Warriors Innings & DLS Drama

Pursuing a new DLS target of 93, Satara Warriors were well in line due to a 45 off 24 by Harshal Kate. Vaibhav Chougalle (16 off 9) and Saurabh Nawale (9 off 9) helped lower down the order, and Satara launched a strong challenge. However, a middle-order collapse orchestrated by Tanay Sanghvi (3/25), Shubham Kadam (1/9), and Nikhil Kadam (1/11) brought it to a stop. Even though they ended on 91/8 from 10 overs—technically ahead of Raigad's 85/3—the DLS system had assigned them a marginally more challenging target. Thus, the Raigad Royals were the victors by 2 runs in an edge-of-the-seat finish. This win gave Raigad valuable points in the league table, while Satara was left distraught by the slimmest of margins and the heartless twist of DLS calculations.
