The Manipal Tigers will take on the Bhilwara Kings in the sixth match of the Legends League Cricket 2023. The action now shifts to Dehradun where the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium will be hosting this clash on Friday.

The Manipal Tigers got off to a very good start to their Legends League Cricket 2023 campaign. They faced the Gujarat Giants in their opening game whom they beat in a closely fought contest.

After being asked to bat first, the Manipal Tigers scored 173 in their full quota of 20 overs, with Hamilton Masakadza top-scoring with 37. The bowlers then stepped up and restricted the Giants to 163/9 to win the game by 10 runs. Parvinder Awana starred with the ball for the Tigers, finishing with figures of 4/19.

The Bhilwara Kings, on the other hand, beat the India Capitals in a thriller of a contest before losing to the Gujarat Giants in their next fixture.

The bowlers did a decent job of restricting the Giants to 172/6. In reply, Lendl Simmons fought hard but lacked support from the other end. He remained unbeaten on 99 off 61 balls but couldn’t take his side across the line as they fell agonizingly short by three runs.
