Manjit Singh slotted home the winner for the Mumbai outfit in the 43rd minute off a Sanjay Raval pass in a rain-marred final. A steady drizzle and strong breeze disturbed the tempo of the summit clash at the Ambedkar Stadium here.

Mahindras scored almost at the end of the first half through a quick move from the right flank.

Sanjay Rawal lobbed the ball accurately to Satish Minz. But he failed to trap in front of the goalmouth and custodian Feroz Sherif who ran out to clear also missed as the wet ball spilled out of cupped hands and landed just in front of Manjit Singh, who, did not miss the god sent opportunity.

Mahindra played a better game as they succeded in controlling their game in the inclement weather and slippery ground condition. SBT fought hard to draw parity but failedto pierce the rival defence as they lacked coordination upfront. VP Shaji was off colour and was replaced by M Finian towards the end.
