North Mumbai Panthers (NMP) defeated Bandra Blasters (BB) via Super Over on Wednesday in a T20 Mumbai League (TML) match that saw quite a few records broken.

BB first posted 228-5, the second highest total in the TML. In reply, NMP posted 228-8 to force the match into the
Super Over.

BB rode on captain Suved Parkar's 54-ball 110 (10x4s, 7x6s), a joint highest individual score. Parkar's 100 off 46 balls was TML's fastest ton.

NMP's Hardik Tamore made 83

The BB innings witnessed 15 sixes, the most by a team. Parkar and opening partner Prateek Kumar Yadav (33) began well, raising 101 in just 7.5 overs. In reply, NMP wicketkeeper-batter Hardik Tamore (83 off 39 balls, 10x4s, 4x6s) scored TML's fastest fifty, off just 17 deliveries, one less than Sumeir Zaveri on Monday and Rakesh Prabhu in 2019. In the Super Over, NMP posted 20-1 while BB managed just seven runs. Parkar had mixed emotions after the match. "I'm a bit disappointed, but will rate my century highly as this came at the Wankhede and is my first T20 ton. We will try to win the next three matches now," said Parkar.
