All the good work by spinners Maxwell Swaminathan and Atharva Bhosale of defending champions Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals, was undone by one erratic over of medium pace from Arjun Dani against SoBo Mumbai Falcons in a T20 Mumbai League match on Thursday.

Defending a below-par 152-9, the Royals were well and truly in the game, reducing the Falcons to 127-7 in the 17th over, courtesy off-spinner Swaminathan (2-24) and left-armer Bhosale (1-17), who combined to concede only 41 in eight overs.
