Pinninti Tapaswi ( Uttarandhra Lions Captain ) - " We got a good look at our bench strength today. The pitch was quite slow and it was keeping a tad low as well. Really happy to finish at the top in points table. There are some areas on which can work going forward into the playoffs, such as getting a good start in the powerplay."

Time for the presentation.
10:15 PM IST and Local Time: The Uttarandhra Lions finally get over the line as they make heavy work of this run chase to win in the final over. It was a low scoring match and the Lions do get the win by 5 wickets with 4 balls to spare to finish on top of the table. The Tigers ends the tournament winless although they tried hard with the ball tonight.  
 
Chasing a paltry score of 127 for the win, the Lions lost Ravi Kiran early for a duck. Nimmala Himakar fell cheaply as well while the form batter Sanaboyina Tarun fell for 15 and the skipper Pinninti Tapaswi couldn't do much either. Seeram Venkata Rahul held one end up and scored a laboured 38 off 43 balls while Sirla Hima Srinivas played till the end and remained unbeaten on 42* off 32 balls. The Impact Player M Dheeraj Kumar made an impact and scored an unbeaten 17* off 7 balls to take the side over the line in 19.2 overs. 5 extras given by the fielding side. 

The Tigers tried their hardest with the ball. Lalith Mohan picked up 2/21 in 4 overs. Akash Gaddipathi was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/18 in 4 overs. A wicket also to A Brahma Teja but it was too low a total to defend for the Tigers as they ended up on the losing side. 

Earlier in the game, the Bezawada Tigers were asked to bat first by the Lions. They also lost wickets up front as the stand-in skipper Kommineni Maheep Kumar fell for a duck. Kothakoona Lakshman fell cheaply as well while Pyla Avinash was needlessly run out. MK Datta Reddy also fell cheaply. But amidst all the gloom, Dhruva Kumar Reddy stood tall and scored a magnificent 70 off 56 balls. He was ably supported by KP Sai Rahul who scored 32 off 29 balls. Just 1 extra given by the fiedling side as the Tigers ended with 126/7 in 20 overs. 

Pinninti Tejaswi was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/14 in 4 overs. Madhavan Rayudu finished with figures of 1/29 in 4 overs. Kaldhi Ajay Kumar finished with figures of 1/8 in 3 overs. There were three run outs in the innings as well that helped the Lions' cause. It was a low scoring one, but Lions get over the line and finish on top of the table. 

So, the Lions win this game by 5 wickets with 4 balls to spare and finish on top of the points table. Stay tuned for the presentations.
