December 16, 2015

Mangaluru, Dec 16: Promising batsman Aditya Somanna’s timely onslaught could not prevent Bedra Bulls claiming an eight-run victory over coastaldigest.com in a nail-biting match on the fourth day of Amaco Mangalore Premiere League 2015.

In a high-scoring thriller at the NMPT stadium coastaldigest.com made a spirited chase of the Bulls’ challenging 172-7 before being stopped just short on 165-8.

The victory put the team owned by Minister Abhaychandra Jain ahead in the Twenty-20 tournament with 4.0 points while pressure mounted on coastaldigest.com team, which had recorded a brilliant victory in the inaugural match.

Young fast bowler Zahoor Farooqi turned deadly for coastaldigest.com taking four crucial wickets including that of Ibrahim Athrady, the wicket keeper captain, one of the best pinch hitters in the region and stylish batsman Norman Castelino, who had scored half century in the inaugural match of MPL season 2.

Winning the toss Bedra Bulls elected to bat first and thanks to a great opening partnership between Naveen Shetty (55) and Mohammed Asif (47) the team scored 172 runs in allotted 20 overs setting a target of 173 for opponents.

While chasing the target, coastaldigest.com suffered double initial shock as both Ibrahim and Norman got out for duck. Vikram PS, who was the man of the match in the previous match, too lost his wicket before reaching double digit.

Extraordinary fielding maneuver displayed by the Bedra Bulls players which resulted in run-out of two key players of coastaldigest.com also helped the former to win the match.
