Shattered by Somanna's onslaught Udupi Tigers surrender to coastaldigest.com XI

December 22, 2016

Mangaluru, Dec 22: The coastaldigest.com XI on Thursday registered yet another thrilling victory by giving Udupi Tigers a bloody nose in the Mangalore Premiere League 2016.

This is the third consecutive win achieved by the men in blue in the much-hyped tournament being organised at Dr Ambedkar Stadium, Panambur under the aegis of Karnataka Regional Cricket Academy.

It was all-rounder Adiyta Somanna's freakishly eye popping stuff that sealed the fate for the men in yellow and he exhibited his talent in both batting and bowling.

Ritesh Bhatkal-led team ran through the Tigers and outplayed them in all departments of the game.

Opting for batting, coastaldigest.com XI were initially in the trouble thanks to the failure of the openers - Mohammed Taha (10 off 7 balls) and Rishab GM (7 off 8 balls). However, Aditya Somanna (52 off 46 balls) managed to build the innings and helped the team reach 156/7.

While chasing the target, Udupi Tigers had almost taken grip on the match due to the swashbuckling batting performance by Mohammed Asif (46 off 34 balls) and Naveen MG (37 off 25 balls).

However, after 13th over the match once again inclined towards coastaldigest.com XI as captain Ritesh Bhatkal (2/14) and Aditya Somanna demolished the Udupi Tigers batting line up. The Tigers finally reached 146/6 in 20 overs giving coastaldigest.com XI a 15 run win.
