KOLKATA: Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers put up a commanding show to record a 21-run victory against Servotech Siliguri Strikers in the Bengal Pro T20 League at the Eden Gardens on Monday night.
The Tigers got a good start when skipper Abhishek Porel and Karan Lal put on 68 runs for the opening wicket inside the first 10 overs. The Strikers’ skipper Ritwik Roy Chowdhury deserved credit for upholding the ‘spirit of cricket’ when he called back Porel after the wicketkeeper-batter was declared run out that came about after an obstruction. While Porel got 40, Lal scored 53 off 43 balls with three fours and two sixes.
