In spite of a slow flow of runs from both teams, it was a high-quality match which had a few unexpected twists and it turned out to be a microcosmic glimpse of previous performances of the two finalists in general and the two skippers in particular.

Eventually, it seemed that Maestro Titans bowling was just too weak to defend a miserable total of 119 as men-in-blue exhibited a powerhouse performance throughout the match despite the failure of a couple of promising batsmen.

The joy of the toss win did not last long for Titans as Mukka Express proved the captain Akshay Ballal's decision absolutely wrong by dismissing both the openers — Rohan Kadam (0) and Vishwanath (4) — in his very first over.

At this stage, man-of-the-series Ballal shouldered the responsibility of preventing an early collapse of his team and smashed a brilliant 41 off 20 balls comprising three massive sixes and a same number of authoritative fours. However, he had to surrender his wicket to spinner Vishwas H.

When Lokesh (20 off 33 balls) tried to come to the rescue of his embattled team, Ritesh Bhatkal sent him back to the dugout. Claiming three wickets each, Vishwas and Shreesha destroyed thehigh score dream' of Titans as they were bowled out for a meagre score in 18th over.

Chasing an easy score, coastaldigest.com opener Mohammed Taha (13 off 5 balls) smashed three powerful boundaries but lost his wicket when the team's score was just 17. Satya Swaroop's sudden dismissal (5 off 9 balls) and all-rounder Aditya Somanna's unexpected duck-out gave a major blow to the team when the other opener Rishab GM was in need of a suitable partner.

At this juncture man-of-the-match Ritesh Bhatkal joined Rishab and literally played the captain's knock. His gusty 37 off 32 balls brought the match under his team's control. On the other hand Rishab's unbeaten 52 off 54 balls powered coastaldigest.com to a six wicket win over Titans.
