A-LEAGUE Match 9: Tigers Choke Lions to Win Close Contest Shobit Sabharwal claims 6 wkts for 10 runs in match winning spell

A-LEAGUE witnessed yet another close contest last night. After electing to bat, the Tigers posted 76 in 15 overs. The mainstay of the innings was opener Vinay Malpani (20). He was supported by Alok Mody and Navin Naronha. The pick of the bowling for Lions was Royston Ukken. The reply from Lions saw many good starts but none of the batsmen were able to make it count but they remained in the hunt. With 8 runs needed off SCORER

the last over, Shobit claimed 4 (out of his 6 wickets) in the final over to help Tigers win their 6 match and also justify why he is one of the most expensive buys in the league. Firoz Khan topped scored for the Lions and Shobhit Sabharwal with 6/10 was adjudged Man of the Match. With this win, the Tigers are 3 wins ahead of the Lions.
