Mumbai, June 9, 2026: Thane Sky Risers registered their first win of the inaugural Nuvama Private T20 Mumbai Women’s League with a commanding 33-run victory over SOBO Mumbai Falcons at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Powered by opener Mansi Patil’s fluent half-century, the Risers posted a competitive 159/7 before producing a disciplined bowling display to restrict the table-toppers to 126/9, inflicting the Falcons’ first defeat of the season. The defeat, however, won’t make much of a difference to the Falcons after they already sealed their place in the final.

Chasing 160, the Falcons endured a disastrous start as Ashwini Nishad (2/8) struck on the first two deliveries of the innings to leave them reeling at 0/2. Skipper Riya Chaudhari (23) and Vedika Nikam (15) attempted to steady the innings, but neither could convert their starts. Prakashika Naik then turned the game decisively in the Risers’ favour with an impressive spell of 3/25, dismantling the middle order and reducing the Falcons to 69/6.

Janhvi Kate kept the chase alive briefly with a late assault, producing 24 off 14 balls, but Trisha Parmar (2/17) ensured there would be no late resurgence as the Falcons fell well short of the target.
