New Delhi: Left-arm spin duo of R Sai Kishore and debutant M Siddharth spun a web around Mumbai to guide their team to a seven-wicket victory in the Super League match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here on Friday. Siddarth (4-16) and Sai Kishore (3-18) ran through Mumbai's top and middle order, comprising some of the biggest names in domestic circle, to restrict them to a sub-par 121 for 9 in the allotted 20 overs. Later, southpaw C Hari Nishaanth hammered 73 not out from 44 balls (5 fours, six sixes) and added 73 runs with all-rounder Vijay Shankar (27 not out, 20 balls, 3 fours) to see Tamil Nadu home.
Hari Nishaanth, who had impressed in the recent TNPL with his aggressive batting, kept the scoreboard ticking though the team lost M Shahrukh Khan (17) and Baba Aparajith (0) with the score at 35. Captain Dinesh Karthik, who has been in red-hot form, was trapped leg-before by the impressive Shams Mulani (3/26). However, Nishaanth and Shankar played well and denied Mumbai any further wickets. Put into bat, Mumbai had a horrendous start as their in-form opener Aditya Tare (0) was dismissed on the second ball of the match. He was stumped by wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik off left-arm spinner Sai Kishore.
