Hyderabad suffers third loss in Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament

While chasing the target of 153, Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan scored an unbeaten 78 while captain Dinesh Karthik hit unbeaten 40 to see his side home

Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s poor run continued as they suffered their third loss in the tournament going down to Tamil Nadu by seven wickets in the Group B match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament, on Saturday.

Batting first, Hyderabad rode on B Sandeep’s 41-run knock and a late burst of 11-ball 24-run innings from CV Milind to post a decent total of 152/7 in 20 overs. However, the total proved insufficient as Tamil Nadu chased down the target with three balls to spare with seven wickets in hand. N Jagadeesan scored an unbeaten 78 while captain Dinesh Karthik hit unbeaten 40 to see his side home.
