In a high-stakes finale, Team B came out trumps over Team A to be crowned the champions of the Mumbai Indians Junior Girls Rising Star League 2026, registering a decisive 24-run victory. The title clash was defined by a true captain’s performance from Sarah Khatri, who led from the front with a clinical display of all-round cricket to ensure her side lifted the coveted silverware.

After opting to bat first, Team B posted a formidable total of 149/3 in their stipulated 20 overs. Opener and skipper Sarah Khatri was the architect of the innings, playing a stellar and resilient knock of 67. She found a handy ally in Drishi Hingarh (29), whose steady presence allowed the skipper to dictate terms as the duo forged a 56-run stand for the 2nd wicket.

Chasing a towering target in the final, Team A found themselves in a spot of bother as lost wickets at crucial junctures. While Ananya Mourya fought a lone battle with a defiant 46, she lacked the necessary support to mount a successful chase. On the bowling front, Sarah Khatri capped off a dream final by tearing through the batting order with an impeccable 3 for 25.
