In an enthralling match of Legends League Cricket at MA Stadium, Jammu, Pawan Negi’s explosive innings propelled Southern Super Stars to a nail-biting win over Manipal Tigers.

Negi’s stunning 11-ball 25, featuring 2 fours and 2 sixes, was crucial in chasing down the target of 124 set by Manipal Tigers. His heroics in the last two overs, where Southern Super Stars needed 28 runs, ensured the team’s victory with just two balls to spare.

Solid Contributions from the Openers

Southern Super Stars’ openers, Jesse Ryder and Upul Tharanga, laid a solid foundation for the chase with their 30-run knocks off 31 and 38 balls respectively. Contributions from Shreevats Goswami and Rajesh Bishnoi, scoring 19 and 11 runs, also added to the team’s successful chase.

Despite the loss, Manipal Tigers’ bowlers put up a commendable performance. Praveen Gupta emerged as the standout bowler, taking 2 wickets for just 9 runs in his 3-over spell. Imran Khan also claimed 2 wickets, while skipper Harbhajan Singh bowled economically, conceding only 10 runs in 4 overs and dismissing the dangerous Jesse Ryder.

Tigers’ Batting Efforts on a Slow Pitch

Batting first, Manipal Tigers managed to score 124 runs for 9 wickets in their 20 overs on a slow pitch. Anjelo Perera’s unbeaten 47 off 34 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes, was the highlight of their innings. Hamilton Masakadza’s 26 and contributions from Thisara Perera and Robin Uthappa added to the team’s total.

All-Round Bowling Performance by Southern Super Stars

The Southern Super Stars’ bowling attack was led by Pawan Negi, Abdur Razzak, and Johan Botha, each taking 2 wickets. Ashok Dinda and C de Silva also chipped in with a wicket each.
