Shivaji Park Lions
SPL could never start their campaign. In the 5 matches played, SPL lost all of them. The franchise played the final last year and lost narrowly by 4 runs. This year they finished at the bottom of the group. Lad and Dube, the two key players for SPL had to leave their camp for India A matches. The team suddenly got a new captain and hence they never clicked together as a unit. In the 3 innings that Dube played, he got an 87 but unfortunately that he didn’t have support from the other end.
SPL’s campaign was quite decided by on-field decisions taken by them which justifies their position on the points table. Raunaq Sharma who was their highest run scorer scored 113 runs in 5 innings. Shivam Dube took most wickets for the franchise with 4 wickets in 3 innings. Having received the wooden spoon, SPL would definitely regroup and reflect on the kind of cricket they have played.
