That's it from the coverage of today's encounter between Raigad Royals and Puneri Bappa. Stay tuned for more cricketing action across the globe.

I, Aditya Agarwal signing off on the behalf of my co-commentators Hrutuja Deshmukh and Gourav alongside scorer/analyst Chandan Kumar Singh brought you all actions of the event. Till then BYE!
Naushad Sheikh (Captain, Raigad Royals)  - "We wanted this win badly. We were playing a good brand of cricket in 3-4 previous games. We got the result we wanted today. Siddhesh Veer's innings was tremendous to watch. Our bowlers also did quite a good job to keep them to 170. We just want to enjoy the today's win and then come back stronger tomorrow. I would like to dedicate this win to my Mom, she is not present here but her blessings are always with me."
Siddhesh Veer (POTM)- "There was a bit of pressure at first. We then tried to build the innings with a good partnership. My plan was to take the game deep to look for the win. I was pretty positive about my performance, I knew it, if I get set then I can help my team win the match. We had a good camp before the tournament. We played a lot of practice games also, which is helping me out in the tournament. My mother had a dream to come on the ground to see me playing. I will dedicate this innings to my mother and father."
Siddhesh Veer comes with his mother to receive the award. 
POTM- Siddhesh Veer
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captian Puneri Bappa)- "We would have got more runs on the board. We will have to play better. Good effort from both teams.  I feel we could have stayed partners. Just 5-10 runs extra would have made a huge difference. Yes, we bowled well throughout the tournament. We have been bowling well. But I feel these are the games where individuals need to step up. If not, then someone from the outside needs to support them and guide them on what plans to do and what not to do."
"So definitely I feel there is some kind of miscommunication or not clear about their plans. You can see these kinds of moments where the game is changing in just one over. And it's evident that most of the games, for us, one over has made the difference. We have given away 20 runs, 25 runs or even 30 runs. Well, you are talking about individuals stepping up. No words for me. Still not enough. I feel I would have connected more. But as I said, others need to step up. But only two of them contributing to a score doesn't really help. And I feel that's the thing we have been lacking in this tournament. Looking forward to the last two remaining games."

Chasing 168, Raigad Royals lost their top order inside the powerplay.
