Bengaluru, Aug 20 (Ians) K. Gowtham and Stalin Hoover’s explosive century-plus partnership stole the show on Saturday afternoon as the Shivamogga Strikers defeated Mangalore United by 8 wickets, in convincing style.
The Strikers, keeping true to the name, struck it out of the park and won with more than 7 overs to spare.

Samarth was dismissed for 12, while Nikin soldiered on with Amit Verma (10) for a bit and then Abhinav Manohar, putting on a standoff 38 runs for the fourth wicket. While Nikin wasn’t able to attack as he would have liked, Manohar cut loose after a while, smashing the bowling to all parts of the ground,...
