Jolly's whirlwind knock, coupled with useful contributions from Yuvraj Singh and Arun Tuli helped Godrej Club manage a modest-looking total of 187.

However, the Godrej left-arm spinners, Girish Bhanot and Yuvraj Singh took three wickets each as the team successfully defended their total. For a while, SBP were in with a chance when Suraj Salhotra (42) and Rakesh Rehni (33) were on song but once Bhanot and Yuvraj tightened screws around them, the side crumbled.

Scores: Godrej Club: 187 (Rakesh Jolly 78, Arun Tuli 34, Yuvraj Singh 23; Rajiv Sirhindi 4-30) beat SBP: 157 (Suraj Salhotra 42, Harman Harry 37, Rakesh Rehni 33; Girish Bhanot 3-14, Yuvraj Singh 3-23, Rakesh Jolly 2-25).
