Century Warriors delivered a commanding performance to defeat Jolly Friends Sporting Club 18-9 on 2 May, while defending champions Phantom Stars registered their second consecutive victory, overcoming NPV Smashers on Day 2 of the Butterfly Table Tennis Super League (TTSL) Maharashtra 2026 in Mumbai. Mumbai Mozartt also returned to winning ways with a 17-10 triumph over NPV Smashers.

Century Warriors' dominant display

Century Warriors, last season's semifinalists, asserted their authority early against Jolly Friends. Santosh Wakradkar set the tone with a dominant 3-0 win in the veterans' match over Gurucharan. Although Raegan Albuquerque brought Jolly Friends level with a strong showing in the men's singles, Century Warriors quickly took control of the tie. With Naisha Rewaskar leading the charge in the junior girls' singles, while the doubles combinations across the U-13 and veterans categories secured convincing 3-0 wins, Century Warriors secured the dominant 18-9 result.

Phantom Stars hold defending title

Phantom Stars relied on their experienced core to secure victory over NPV Smashers. Sanil Shetty played a pivotal role, registering a 3-0 win in the men's singles against Sagar Kasture before partnering with Shruti Amrute to claim another 3-0 victory in the mixed doubles. Veteran Onkar Jog and Shruti Amrute further contributed with solid wins in their respective matches, sealing the tie in favour of the defending champions.

Mumbai Mozartt bounce back

Mumbai Mozartt bounced back strongly after their loss to Bayside Spinners on the previous day. Their U-17 mixed doubles pair of Ishan Khandekar and Divyanshi Bhowmick continued their unbeaten run, securing a 3-0 win over Shouren Soman and Ruchita Darvatkar. Aakarshan Yadav added to the momentum with a 3-0 victory in the cadet boys' singles, helping Mumbai Mozartt build a strong lead and eventually close out the tie 17-10.
