Sharjah, October 12, 2025:
It was an evening of fireworks, fierce strokeplay, and fearless cricket at JMR Sporting – Oval 2, Al Batayeh, as Mauka Falcon stamped their dominance over Mauka Eagle, securing a thumping 65-run victory in the Mauka Series Dubai 2025.
After being asked to bat first, the Falcons turned the Sharjah night into a boundary-fest, piling up 219/2 in 20 overs — their highest total of the season — before restricting Mauka Eagle to 154/7, sealing back-to-back league wins.
🦅 The Toss That Backfired
Mauka Eagle captain Haney Satikuvar won the toss and chose to field, banking on early breakthroughs. But what unfolded next was a brutal masterclass in T20 batting.
Hiren G, opening for Mauka Falcon, was in beast mode from ball one. Timing crisp drives through the covers and punishing short balls over mid-wicket, he tore through the Eagle attack with a blazing 78 off just 36 balls — packed with 10 fours and 3 sixes.
His departure due to injury at 78 didn’t slow things down; it only made room for Shubham Agarwal to unleash carnage at the death. He blasted 35 off 16, striking at over 218, ensuring the Falcons crossed the 200-mark in style.
💥 Falcon Fireworks: A Scorecard of Intent
- Hiren G (wk): 78 (36), 10×4, 3×6
- Pachi Kasaragod: 32 (31), steady opening hand
- Shubham Agarwal: 35* (16), 6 boundaries
- Abdul Arshad: 25 (28), retired hurt
Extras also helped Falcon soar higher — 34 runs (including 24 wides), pushing the final score to 219/2 at a strike rate of nearly 11 runs per over.
The Eagle bowlers had no answers, with only Kashif Malik (4-0-33-1) keeping a semblance of control amid the onslaught.
🏏 Eagles’ Response: Yawar and Sameer Fight a Lone Battle
Chasing 220, Mauka Eagle’s reply got off to a stuttering start. Early wickets from Srujan Korrapati and Aakash Kanchan put them on the back foot at 16/2 within 3 overs.
Opener Yawar showed grit and flair, anchoring the innings with a fluent 49 off 35, finding the fence seven times. Alongside him, Sameer counterattacked with a composed 42 off 33, adding 84 runs in the middle phase.
But as wickets tumbled, the chase lost steam. Haider Husein’s 24 (16) cameo briefly sparked hope, but Falcons’ disciplined bowling at the death sealed the fate.
🎯 Bowlers Seal the Deal
For Mauka Falcon, every bowler chipped in with precision and intent.
- Abdul Arshad: 2-0-11-2 (Economy 5.50)
- Shubham Agarwal: 3-0-26-1

Captain Aakash Kanchan’s on-field leadership shone through, rotating his bowlers smartly and keeping the pressure tight through all 20 overs.
