Mumbai, June 13, 2026: SOBO Mumbai Falcons produced a clinical all-round performance to beat Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs by 25 runs and clinch the inaugural Nuvama Private T20 Mumbai Women’s League title at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. Led by captain Sayali Satghare, the Falcons defended a modest total of 124 with disciplined bowling to become the competition’s first-ever champions.

Tigers Lose Early Momentum
The Tigers began their chase steadily before losing skipper Humairaa Kaazi (23) with the score on 37. The breakthrough opened the door for the Falcons, who seized control through Janhvi Kate’s decisive spell.

Janhvi first removed tournament’s leading run-scorer Sanika Chalke for 18 before striking again in her next over to dismiss Fatima Jaffer, leaving the Tigers under immediate pressure. Sejal Raut attempted to revive the chase with a determined 23, but Janhvi returned to claim her third wicket, reducing the Tigers to 78/4.
