Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: A blazing 118-run opening stand between Luvnith Sisodia and MG Naveen laid the foundation for Shivamogga Yodhas’ comprehensive 42-run victory over Hubli Tigers in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament on Wednesday.

Asked to bat first, the Shivamogga Yodhas made a flying start as Sisodia and Naveen plundered 73 runs in the powerplay before putting together 118 runs off just 61 deliveries. Sisodia struck a fluent 57 off 33 balls, including six fours and three sixes, while Naveen produced a scintillating 75, smashing five fours and six sixes.

After Sisodia’s dismissal, skipper Smaran Ravichandran (37 off 25; 3x4, 2x6) maintained the momentum with Naveen, adding 65 runs for the second wicket in only 36 balls to propel Shivamogga Yodhas to an imposing 220 for five.
