Right-arm pacer Akash Madhwal’s 3-24 and left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya’s 2-27 helped Reliance 1 snatch a one-run victory over DY Patil Group ‘B’ in a nail-biting final of the DY Patil T20 Cup at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.

Chasing 154, opener Hardik Tamore (43 off 34) gave DY Patil a healthy start followed by a cameo from Dinesh Karthik (27 off 17). Karthik fell to Kartikeya in the 15th over and it eventually  boiled down to needing seven runs for victory off the final over. Madhwal, however, did brilliantly in last over, giving away just six runs. Despite conceding a boundary off the second ball, he picked up the final wicket off the last ball to seal the fate of the encounter.
