Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy | Debutant Abhinav scripts Karnataka’s thrilling win over Saurashtra
The Hindu
Hits a six off the penultimate ball; Kerala and Vidarbha have it easy against Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra
Standing amid ruins, debutant Abhinav Manohar towered over the Saurashtra bowlers and took Karnataka to a fighting two-wicket victory with a penultimate ball-six for a place in the quarterfinals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy here on Tuesday.
After Saurashtra’s decision to bat seemed to have backfired on being restricted to 145 for seven despite Sheldon Jackson’s 43-ball 50 (3x4, 3x6), Karnataka found the going tough when reduced to 60 for four in the 10th over.
Abhinav (70 n.o., 49b, 2x4, 6x6) shouldered the responsibility well and dominated the match-turning 64-run stand with Aniruddha Joshi (13).
