Chasing 158 for victory, the Falcons produced a composed batting performance, powered by opener Ishan Mulchandani’s fluent 65, to reach the target with 11 balls to spare. The result means the battle for the remaining semi-final berths will now hinge on the outcome of the clash between Arcs Andheri and Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals later tonight.

Mumbai: SOBO Mumbai Falcons kept their semi-final hopes alive with a commanding seven-wicket victory over table-toppers North Mumbai Panthers in the penultimate league-stage match of the Nuvama Private T20 Mumbai League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. The defeat, however, had no bearing on the Panthers, who had already booked their place in the last four, winning four out of five matches.

Chasing 158 for victory, the Falcons produced a composed batting performance, powered by opener Ishan Mulchandani’s fluent 65, to reach the target with 11 balls to spare. The result means the battle for the remaining semi-final berths will now hinge on the outcome of the clash between Arcs Andheri and Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals later tonight.

The Falcons made a cautious start, with Mulchandani and Awais Khan (6) adding 26 runs before the latter was trapped leg-before. Mulchandani then combined with Naman Jhawar (22) for a steady 28-run stand, ensuring the chase remained on course.

While Jhawar was unable to capitalise on his start, Mulchandani continued to anchor the innings, rotating the strike effectively and punishing loose deliveries. The opener later stitched together a decisive 77-run partnership with Gautam Waghela (45 not out), taking the Falcons within touching distance of victory.
