Clinical mysore warriors

Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: The Hubli Tigers’ four-match winning streak was derailed as they endured a 56-run loss to Mysore Warriors at the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, here at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Karun Nair notched yet another half-century, setting Hubli a target of 166. The Mysore Warriors then dismantled Hubli’s batting lineup as J Suchith led the charge (4/14), supported by K Gowtham (2/22), and Vidyadhar Patil (2/21). The Hubli Tigers were bowled out for just 109 runs—the third-lowest total in Maharaja Trophy history.

Batting second, the Hubli Tigers found themselves in trouble with Vidyadhar Patil and Krishnappa Gowtham running through the heart of their top order. While Taha (22) blazed away for an 8-ball cameo, he was dismissed by Vidyadhar Patil, who also accounted for KL Shrijith (5). Meanwhile Krishnappa Gowtham removed Thippa Reddy (16) and Karthikeya KP (6) to leave the Tigers reeling at 52/4 by the end of the first six.
