India’s Sayali Satghare led SOBO Mumbai Falcons to a 16-run victory over Thane Sky Risers in the inaugural T20 Mumbai Women’s League. Satghare’s three-wicket spell played a crucial role in securing the win at Wankhede Stadium. Despite a challenging chase of 174, Thane’s Mansi Patil and Khushi Bhatia showed resilience.

Thane Sky Risers, led by skipper Saima Thakor, missed opportunities with dropped catches, allowing SOBO Mumbai Falcons to post a competitive 173/6.
