They left it for far too late, and even though Tyagi struck a few off the middle of the blade, the Spartans fell short of the mark. This sure has been an excellent performance with the ball and on the field from the Barbarians - they had very little to play with, and thanks to a well-applied squeeze from their slower bowlers in the middle overs, they managed to pull it off.
Tripurari Lal's two over-spell turned the game towards the Barbarians. The slingy-armed bowler mixed his lengths, kept it wide of the batters' arc, and gave next to nothing away in those two overs of his. Jobin Dominic was out there for quite a while, he was looking good momentarily, but once he ran himself out rather foolishly, the Spartans' chase fell off.
