MUMBAI:
North Mumbai Panthers
bowlers held their nerve as they defeated
Eagle Thane Strikers
by 6 runs in the
T20 Mumbai League
game on Wednesday.
Put in to bat, a late cameo by Karan Nande (50 off 23 balls) helped North Mumbai post a challenging 190 for eight at the Wankhede Stadium.
Later, their bowlers restricted the Strikers to 184/5 despite a blazing 71 off 44 balls by rival skipper
Aditya Tare.
Tare's knock was studded with 10 fours, but he could not complete the job and fell in the penultimate over.
Strikers needed 16 runs off the final over and
Moondeep Mangela
, despite conceding a four on the first ball, did well to hand his team a win.
