Mohammed Taha - The boys did well and prepared for any situations. Not really, the team has been playing well and I am happy with the result. Everyone knows their roles and we want to do what we did last year
Hubli Tigers beat Shivamogga Lions by 8 wickets!
Mohammed Taha 35 (12) | T Pradeep 2-14 Hardik Raj 35 (21) | KC Cariappa 2-30
Hubli Tigers needed just 51 runs to win this game off 5 overs, and given the propensity with which a certain gentleman named Mohammed Taha scores, it would not have been too difficult. And so it proved.
It did seem at one stage that Shivamogga Lions may have got ahead when they picked up the wicket of Taha's fellow opener, the impact player Thippa Reddy, but the tables soon turned when KL Shrijith walked out to bat.
Then came Hardik Raj, whom skipper Nihal Ullal trusted to bowl the third over against a boisterous Taha and increasingly volatile-looking Shrijith. He conceded 23 runs in that over and allowed Hubli to all but cruise to victory.
Although Pradeep T bagged the wicket of Taha in the very next over, skipper Manish Pandey arrived at the crease and ensured that there were no further hiccups and Hubli got their fourth win in a row in this tournament.
3.3 T Pradeep to Manish Pandey, WIDE! Low full toss and sliding down the leg-side. Hubli Tigers won by 8 wickets (VJD)
3.2 T Pradeep to Manish Pandey, FOUR! On a good length and angling around off-stump, Manish punches it over extra cover for a boundary
Manish Pandey, RHB, is in at 4.
This wicket will not matter too much as Taha has done all the damage he needed to!
3.1 T Pradeep to Mohammed Taha, OUT! Taha goes for the glory hit but picks out deep fine leg. On a good length and angling back, Taha uses his wrists to whip this but Doddamani pouches it safely
Mohammed Taha c (sub) Anand Doddamani b Pradeep T 35 (12b 1x4 5x6)
3.1 T Pradeep to Mohammed Taha, WIDE! Low full toss and sliding down the leg-side
Hubli need just six runs to win this game now. Taha made it extremely easy for them after this boisterous over from Hardik. Shivamogga will see no way back from here.
