Divyansh Joshi Produces a Record-Breaking Final
The foundation of Meerut's victory was laid by Divyansh Joshi, who produced a spectacular century in the final.
His innings provided Meerut with the momentum they needed to post a total above 200.
The young batter delivered when the pressure was at its highest and turned the final into a one-sided contest.
Vishal Chaudhary Destroys Lucknow's Chase
After Meerut's huge total, Lucknow Falcons needed an exceptional start.
Instead, the Mavericks' bowling attack kept taking wickets.
Vishal Chaudhary was the standout bowler, taking four wickets and playing a major role in dismantling the Lucknow batting order.
Lucknow were eventually bowled out for only 109.
The 94-run victory underlined just how dominant Meerut were on the biggest night of the tournament.

The final demonstrated the depth of the squad, with the batting and bowling units both producing match-winning performances.
