Hubli Tigers take on Mangalore Dragons in the 28th match of the 2023 Maharaja Trophy on Saturday, August 26.
With a target of 131 runs before them, Hubli began the chase in their last match against Shivamogga in the most unfortunate fashion, losing a wicket off the very first ball to a deceptive googly from Shreyas Gopal. Gopal, Shivamogga's captain, continued to cause trouble with his crafty deliveries, taking four wickets.
Despite the early challenges, KL Shrijith and Praveen Dubey managed to stabilize proceedings with a 30-run partnership. However, the loss of Dubey put them in a tricky position, with 60 runs left to get off the last 10 overs and only five wickets in hand. But the Tigers held their nerve and got over the line with three wickets to spare.
Meanwhile, with a good score and controlled bowling performance, the Dragons emerged victorious in their previous outing. Though the Lions mounted a brief assault, the Dragons maintained their composure to earn a pivotal win.
Fans can look forward to an exciting game between two teams with different playing styles. The match is expected to be fiercely contested as both teams look to secure a playoff spot.
