That's it from this MPL game. We will be back tomorrow with more MPL action from Pune. Stick around for more cricketing actions across the globe in our network across formats. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash alongside scorer/analyst Chandan Kumar Singh. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Arshin Kulkarni (Player of the match): "It's good to play an important role for the team. It was a good wicket for the batters and it got better and better. He was just saying to do what I had been doing for the last few years."
Rahul Tripathi (Eagle Nashik Titans Captain): "A great effort by the boys and a great team effort from everyone. Arshin was great today and I am happy for him. A great team effort in the end. I think he stood up to the occasion and a lot of players are looking for the opportunity and be counted and I am glad they are doing that. Happy that we won today."
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Puneri Bappa Captain): "I would say, very good effort from our side. I think a pretty much new side, and inexperience playing in front of such a crowd, still, they pulled things back. I think we were going to a match where we were ready to chase 220 because it was a very good wicket and the wind factor. "
11:52 PM IST: Arshin Kulkarni is the hero of the evening and definitely the player of the match tonight. His dazzling hundred and then taking 4 wickets with the ball and defending 6 runs in the last over was awesome as Eagle Nashik Titans held their nerves to win by a single run in what was a thriller of a game here in Pune. Heartbreak for Puneri Bappa while it is ecstacy for Eagle Nashik Titans who collect the two points.
Chasing a mammoth 204 for the win, Puneri Boppa got off to a decent start. Pawan Shah scored a quickfire 30 off 16 balls while Yash Kshirsagar scored 47 off 27 balls. Damle scored 33 off 22 balls. The keeper batter Shinde got 17 off 11 balls. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad tried to play the role of a finisher and demoted himself down the order and scored 50 off 23 balls but fell towards the end. There was a lot of drama in the end and so they fell one run short of the total as 5 extras were given by the fielding side.
It was Arshin Kulkarni who shone with the ball with figures of 4/21 in 4 overs. A couple of wickets for Prashant Solanki who went for 43 runs in 4 overs. A wicket apiece for Pagare and Sayed as they did just enough to win the game.
Earlier in the game, it was the Arshin Kulkarni show with the bat as he dazzled under the lights in Pune. His 117 off 54 balls consisted of 13 sixes. He was ably supported by Rahul Tripathi as the skipper scored 41 off 28 balls. Tambe got to double figures but the innings fell away in the end as they finished with 203/9 in 20 overs. 5 extras were given by the fielding side.
Salvi was the pick of the bowlers for Puneri Bappa as he picked up 3/29 in 4 overs. A couple of wickets were taken by Damle. A wicket apiece for Bhosale and Kothari. It was a hard night for the bowlers of Puneri Bappa.
So, Eagle Nashik Titans make it three wins in three games and go top of the points table. Stick around for the presentation ceremony that shall come your way soon.

19.6 A Kulkarni to S Kothari
1b Phew, take a moment and compliment this young bloke Arshin Kulkarni, who sealed the game for the Titans single-handedly. First with the bat and now with the ball, he defended 6 runs in the last over. The man with nerves of steel, take a bow man! Coming to the ball now, it was a touch fuller delivery outside the off. Kothari swings hard at it but fails to connect it with the bat. They hustle for a single off the byes but that is not enough and Puneri Bappa fell merely one run short of the target.
3 needed off 1 ball. 2 for a super over.
19.5 A Kulkarni to S Kothari
0 Fuller delivery outside the off. Kothari plays and misses. A crucial dot delivery from Kulkarni. 3 needed off last ball.
19.4 A Kulkarni to S Kothari
2 Fuller delivery on the leg stump line. Kothari flicks it to deep square leg region for a couple of runs.
19.3 A Kulkarni to H Sanghvi
W WICKET!! In the air and the keeper takes it!! Kulkarni is having a dream night!! Good length delivery on the off-stump line. Sanghvi looks to work it on the leg side but gets the leading edge of the bat. The ball lobs to the keeper, who pouches it safely.
19.2 A Kulkarni to S Bhosale
1 Short of length delivery into the hips. Bhosale drops it to his left and sneaks a single.
19.1 A Kulkarni to A Shidhaye
W WICKET!! In the air and caught!! Woah, what a game we are having tonight!! Back of length delivery around the off. Shidhaye looks to go downtown and finish the game but the southpaw couldn't connect it well and the ball flies straight down the throat of long-on fielder, who makes no mistakes.
6 needed off 6 balls now.
