After suffering six defeats, Shivamogga Lions finally managed to win their first game of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2024 and as expected, it was because of skipper Abhinav Manohar.
The in-form batter smoked 70 off 27 deliveries to help his team defeat the table-toppers, Hubli Tigers. Thanks to his knock, which was studded with nine maximums and two fours, the Lions chased down a target of 142 with 29 deliveries to spare.
In the first innings, V Koushik and Avinash D picked up three wickets each as Hubli were bundled out for 141 in 19.3 overs. Manish Pandey (31-ball 44) and Manvanth Kumar L (13-ball 28) were the only two batters to put up some fight.
