Royal Tigers kick-start their campaign with a victory. It was a lot closer than everyone predicted. The Kings were poor with the ball and were sloppy on the field but they put up a great fight with the bat. Despite not converting their starts into a big score, the contributions from the top-order helped the team to stay alive in the contest. Things got tense when Ahula was hammering the bowlers but Bala and Jayakumar kept his composure in the final two overs to help the Tigers cross the finish line
