Parthiv Patel's cameo sealed the win for his side (PC: Twitter)
Gujarat Giants continued their winning run in the ongoing Legends Cricket League 2022 as they beat Manipal Tigers by 2 wickets in a low-scoring encounter in Lucknow on Monday, September 19.
Chasing 121, Gujarat Giants made a meal out of it as they lost wickets at regular intervals.
Skipper Virender Sehwag (1 off 2) and Tilakaratne Dilshan (0 off 2) could manage just 1 run between them as Mpofu ran riot in the powerplay.
Opener Kevin O'Brien (23 off 19) and Parthiv Patel (34 off 17) steadied the ship with a brisk 42-run stand in the next 4 overs.
However, the dismissal of Parthiv at the hands of Parvinder Awana (2/13 in 3) triggered another collapse, with veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh (2/23 in 4) also chipping in with a couple.
However, handy contributions from Thisara Perera (22 off 20) and a couple of boundaries from Graeme Swann (9 off 6) ensured that Gujarat scraped past the finishing line in the 18th over.
