The sixth edition of the Maharashtra Premier League has just ended with a bang. The Eagle Nashik Titans have managed a handsome victory over the Rajgad Royals to lift the coveted trophy. They finished the game with a splendid six from Atharva Kale, and chased a competitive 190 to end on the winning side by a margin of six wickets.
The Titans ended the group stage on a high too. They finished first in the points table, with 14 points, winning five of their 10 matches.

Despite winning just half of the games out of their scheduled 10, they managed to clinch the first position and eventually lift the trophy.
