Abhinav Manohar’s explosive 12-ball 46 lit up the DACSS Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 clash between Hubli Tigers and Mysore Warriors before persistent rain forced the match to be abandoned on Thursday. Both teams walked away with one point each.

Reduced to an eight-overs-a-side contest, Hubli Tigers posted 91 for six, thanks to Manohar’s late assault.

Tigers were in trouble at 27 for two after five overs when rain interrupted play, with Kruthik Krishna (23 off 19) and Hardik Raj (2 0ff 4) both retiring hurt, leaving the innings in a precarious position. 

Manohar smashed two fours and six sixes in a whirlwind knock, and was particularly severe on pacer Vyshak Vijaykumar. 

Ritesh Bhatkal was the top performer for the Warriors, picking up two wickets for just 10 runs.

The scores: Hubli Tigers 91/6 in 8 overs (Abhinav Manohar 46) vs. Mysore Warriors (match abandoned due to rain).
