With games being played at the MMZ SC Ground and all COVID-19 measures being observed, the highly anticipated matchup, which was a 35-over game, featured some top-notch action. It didn’t matter what big names were playing in the game or which team had the more talented players. What mattered was that MMZ needed to bag a win to level the series, and in the end McGill showed fight to wrap up the series.
