Clinical hubli tigers

Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: L.R Kumar claimed a three-fer while K.L. Shrijith struck a half-century and Aneeshwar Gautam contributed a fine unbeaten 35 to help Hubli Tigers score their second successive win in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 league at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, here on Saturday. Hubli Tigers rode on a fine all-round performance to overcome Gulbarga Mystics by six wickets with nine balls to spare in Match 6 of the event.

The seasoned pair of K.L Shrijith (51) and Manish Pandey (31) combined for an 84-run stand and built the foundation for Aneeshwar Gautam (35 not out) and Kartikeya K.P (31 not out) to script a comfortable finish for Hubli.

Earlier in the match, Devdutt Padikkal’s (46) fiery knock was countered by L.R Kumar and KC Cariappa who led the Hubli bowling attack with figures of 3-34 and 2-22 respectively.
