Batting first, Paras-XI, captained by national team skipper Paras Khadka, posted 209-7 in their allotted 20 overs before Jonty-XI — led by former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes — completed the target in the last over for the loss of nine wickets.
National team cricketers Binod Bhandari, Arif Sheikh, Asif Sheikh, Lalit Singh Bhandari and Kamal Singh Airee were included in the team Paras-XI along with comedian Sandeep Chhetri.
