An unbeaten 141-run stand, spearheaded by skipper Karun Nair (91* off 52) propelled the Mysore Warriors (MW) to a comprehensive 10-wicket win over the Hubli Tigers (HT) in the ongoing Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 on Wednesday (August 10) afternoon.
Chasing 142, the Warriors got off to a perfect start as Nair and Nihal Ullal (48* off 43) peeled off 47 runs from the target without breaking a sweat.
Nair was the dominant partner among the two as the right-handed batter smashed boundaries at regular intervals as Nihal went at run-a-ball.
He raced his way to a 31-ball half-century in the 11th over with MW's score reading 87/0.
Nair took just 21 deliveries to smash his next 41 runs. His innings was studded with 11 fours and three sixes, and it meant that the Warriors romped home in just 15.5 overs.
