From Mumbai to Dubai: How Mauka 365 Is Reigniting the Dream of Every Cricketer Who Thought Their Journey Was Over.

The Mauka 365 Survivor Series has become one of Dubai’s fastest-growing recreational cricket leagues, proving that passion—not profession—defines a cricketer.

UAE: Every cricketer remembers the day they packed away their kit. For some, it happened after school. For others, after college, a new job, family responsibilities or simply because life took over. The dream wasn’t lost—it was simply paused. Mauka 365 was created for those dreams.

What began five years ago as a movement in Mumbai, bringing thousands of working professionals back onto the cricket field, has now become one of the UAE’s most exciting recreational sporting communities. Since launching in Dubai in September 2025, Mauka 365 has witnessed overwhelming participation from players representing different nationalities, professions and age groups. Doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, bankers, students, IT professionals and business owners now share the same dressing room, united by one emotion—the love for cricket.

Unlike traditional weekend matches, Mauka 365 delivers a complete professional experience with quality venues, team auctions, live scoring, player statistics, MVP rankings, digital scorecards, organized tournaments and unforgettable rivalries. It has become much more than a cricket league; it has become a community where friendships are built, confidence is rediscovered and forgotten dreams are brought back to life.

Survivor Series Enters Its Most Explosive Phase

The Mauka 365 Survivor Series Dubai has now entered its crucial second round, and the championship race couldn’t be tighter.

At the summit of the points table are Mauka Dragos, who have accumulated 6 points while maintaining the tournament’s best Net Run Rate through three commanding victories. Breathing down their necks are Mauka Predators, also sitting on 6 points, making every remaining match a potential title decider.

Mauka Raiders, currently on 2 points, still have matches in hand and remain one of the most dangerous teams in the competition. Their qualification hopes are very much alive, and a strong finish could completely reshape the standings. Meanwhile, Athena Titans, despite not opening their account yet, continue to display tremendous fighting spirit. With half the league still remaining, every team knows that one inspired performance can change everything.

Adding even more excitement is the unique Survivor Series qualification format. Every franchise will play six league matches. If the teams finishing second and third are tied on points, qualification will be decided through a knockout match, not Net Run Rate. If the top three teams finish level on points, the tournament will move into a full playoff format, ensuring that every qualification spot is earned on the cricket field rather than on mathematical calculations.
