Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: The Mysore Warriors downed the Shivamogga Lions by seven runs via VJD Method in a rain-impacted second encounter on the opening day of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 league.

The rain-affected fixture saw Mysore Warriors put up 159/8 in 20 overs, riding on the back of Manoj Bhandage’s (42*) late innings fireworks.

Meanwhile, Hardik Raj (2/32), Avinash D. (2/44) and Pradeep T. (2/46) were the pick of the Shivamogga Lions’ bowling attack. Tasked with a reduced target of 88 runs under the VJD method, the Shivamogga Lions fell short despite Abhinav Manohar’s blistering half-century (52 not out).
