Sule Guruji face Al-Barkaat MMI English School (Kurla) in the summit clash in the first week of March and Vaishnav is now eyeing a final flourish.
“We lost to them in the DSO final but I’m in good form this time. If I can get some runs in the final and we beat them, it will be just perfect,” said Vaishnav.
