Maharashtra were made to bat first and were all out for 144 in 20 overs. Unfortunately for Meghalaya, they were dismissed for a mere 70.
Twenty-year-old Abhishek Kumar shone with the ball, claiming 4/37, including the wicket of India international and Maharashtra captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, whom he trapped lbw.
Chasing, only two batters got into double figures – Yogesh Tiwari (26) and Raj Biswa (17) – as Meghalaya were bundled out for 70.
