Hi Steemit Friends,

Let me give you little idea about Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy before taking about this nail-biting match.
It is Indian domestic T-20 match that is being played across different regions mainly between states with some teams like Railways.
Yesterday was its final match and I being a cricket fan couldn't miss that anyway. Tamil Nadu won the toss and opt to bowl. Karnataka set a target of 181 with scoring 180-5 (20). Skipper Manish Pandey was top scorer 60(45 balls)
Tamil Nadu started innings well but wickets fell halfway. Then Vijay Shankar and Baba Aparajith came to rescue and set the stage with 25 runs needed in 2 over. later it turned to 13 runs in 1 over. Last over 1st and 2nd Ravichandra Ashwin scored 2 boundaries but then there was turnaround. Vijay Shankar was run-out and thanks to amazing throw by Manish Pandey and it was 3 runs required in last ball. Murugan Ashwin was on strike and managed to score just 1 run out of last delivery.
