Manish Pandey (Hubli Tigers captain): I have always said that, I love to contribute not only as captain but also when I am batting. We learned a good lesson from yesterday. When we had a timeout in the 16th over, we decided that "let's think we are defending 40 runs" and it helped. The way Manwant bowled was fantastic, he is the player of the tournament for us.
Manwant Kumar L is the player of the match!
End of the match! Hubli Tigers take a clinical win home by 5 wickets!
An excellent batting performance from the Tigers, something we've come to expect of them in this tournament and they are only getting better as their momentum is going up a notch. Bharath and Taha gave them an excellent start, with the latter taking on the bowlers and the former playing second fiddle.
However, impact player Doddamani stuck in his first over to get both Bharath, and Shrijith out. The latter, as he himself admitted, tried to play an uncharacteristic stroke which wasn't needed at that time. Manish Pandey was just the right man to come in then as he steadied the ship, allowing Taha to be on the offensive.
Doddamani struck again a few balls later and got Taha bowled. A few nervous moments followed with Pandey being dropped, and Paras getting Dubey followed by Gowtham's wicket of Kumar. However, a couple of mistakes came with them too. Gowtham didn't bowl himself when the pressure was on, nor did he give Doddamani two consecutive overs, which meant he didn't even finish his quota with the ball.
At the end, Pandey's patience paid off and he finished the game well in time.
19.0
18.2 Anand Doddamani to Mohit BA, FOUR! HUBLI TIGERS WIN THIS GAME! Flatter and quicker outside off. All Mohit has to do is help the ball on its way past short third man by opening the face of his bat. The ball runs away to the fence for a boundary!
18.1 Anand Doddamani to Mohit BA, floated on off and middle, turns back in. Mohit sweeps it to short fine leg.
Anand Doddamani [3-0-30-3] comes back into the attack
2 off 12 needed now, surely the last over
