Azim Kazi (Ratnagiri Jets Captain)- "We are happy that we won the match. For the next match, we will sit together and have a clear discussion about what to do to perform to our best. There was nothing set to give a particular bowler a quota of four overs. All depends on the condition of the match. The one who is doing well on the field, we will surely give the ball to him to take the game forward."
Nikhil Naik (POTM) - "I enjoyed batting today. The team requirement was such that I need to strike at a higher rate and I am happy that it worked off today. We always focus on the process and prepare well before any match. Going into the playoffs, it is important for us to prepare well and do well. Our coach always motivates us and tells us to trust in the process."
Player of the Match: Nikhil Naik.
Time for the presentations.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Puneri Bappa Captain): "No, definitely there is a story. We had mindgames and my plans were working against him. Knew him long enough and that's why I liked it there. The bowlers did well. I think they were short and we should have chased it down and batted better we could have chased it down. Lot of positives. Top order has to score. First 6 overs has been poor for us with the bat. Blinder of an innings took us close. 5.6 and 7 can have their day. Top 3 has to perform. Big learning for them and losing is a part and parcel of the game. Self belief is important and with this tournament they will learn. I enjoyed a lot to be part of this tournament. Good to see that players are doing well. Keeping an eye for talent. Good for Maharashtra Cricket and IPL. Just move on from this. We have to come back stronger and come back stronger. We have to give 110% all the time and commitment has to be there all the time. Thank You."
After Eagle Nashik Titans, Ratnagiri Jets become the second team to make their way into the play-offs of the Maharashtra Premier League 2024.
Two more spots are still to be decided. The next match between Kolhapur Tuskers and Raigad Royals is going to be a crucial one.

19.6 V Pawale to R Gaikwad
0 Vijay Pawale has done it for Ratnagiri Jets! Nails an excellent yorker in the stumps, Gaikwad steps out but couldn't get underneath it and fails to smash it. Ratnagiri Jets win the match by 6 runs. They have also secured a top 2 finish in the points table.
Roshan Waghsare is the new batter on the crease.
There is a run out here. Vijay Shelar is run out and this will be a short run here. Ruturaj is back on strike but they need 7 off 1 ball.
19.5 V Pawale to R Gaikwad
W RUN OUT! Vivek Shelar is run - out at the bowler's end. Yorker again in the stumps, Gaikwad pushes it towards mid wicket and wanted the strike but the fielder in the deep throws to the keeper who throws it back to the bowler to effect a run out. That's a short run as well!
Another dot ball. 7 needed off 2 balls.
19.4 V Pawale to R Gaikwad
0 Another dot! Yorker angling in the stumps, Gaikwad looks to sweep but misses, huge appeal by the bowler, but the umpire denies.
Crucial dot ball. 7 needed off 3 balls.
