Bipul Sharma spins Lions to a comprehensive victory.

The eleventh match featured the Chandigarh Lions take on the Royal Bengal Tigers at Lahari resorts ground Hyderabad which was a crucial encounter for both the sides. In the end the Lions scored a comprehensive six wicket victory over their Bengal opponents. The chief architect of the victory was the young left arm spinner Bipul Sharma, who bowled a brilliant spell of 4/8.


Earlier in the day the Tigers' skipper Dasgupta won the toss and elected to bat. The Tigers opened with their successful combination of Dasgupta & Kumar, who put up a solid partnership of 43 for the first wicket. However the fall of Dasgupta in the fifth over put brakes on the Tiger's batting largely due to a destructive spell from Bipul Sharma who gulped the Tigers' middle order with an inspired spell of 4/8 in his three overs. The Tigers never quite recovered from this
jolt and folded their innings at a modest 120 runs.


The Lions successful chase was scripted by opener Chetan Sharma who scored a furious half century & ably supported by T.P Singh. In the end, the Lions marched home to victory by 6 wickets.
