Vijay Manjrekar XI recorded a 77-run win over Dattu Phadkar XI in the Sportstar Trophy MCA U-19 selection trial tournament third round tie at Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali ground.
Twenty wickets fell for the second day, resulting in a three-day match ending a day earlier.
Manjrekar XI conceded a nine-run first innings lead, but scored 211 in the second innings and set Phadkar XI a target of 203. Left-arm spinner Vaibhav Mali (four for 45) and off-spinner Ravi Yadav (four for 18) did the damage, bowling out Phadkar XI for 125 to seal victory on the second day.
