Mumbai Champs vs Kolkata Tigers
MC vs KT, ICL, Match 13 : Mumbai Champs earn ICL win
Dec 10, 2007
Brian Lara's Mumbai Champs grabbed their first win of the Indian Cricket League with a narrow seven-run victory against the Kolkata Tigers at the Tau Devi Lal Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh.
Lara was not needed at the crease in his team's innings of 187 that cost them just three wickets, Man-of-the-Match Shreyas Khanolkar registering one of two half-centuries for the Champs in their 20 overs.
The consolation win came as they then skittled the Tigers' lower order to restrict them to 180 for nine when the overs ran out.
Former New Zealand all-rounder Nathan Astle led the bowling with three for 26 in his four overs.
The Champs, skippered by Lara, lost their previous encounter on Sunday against the Chandigarh Lions by 38 runs, after Astle's countryman Chris Cairns blasted 70 in just 26 balls.
In his team's chase of the Lions' total of 219, Lara opened in a losing effort after scoring just nine runs, the Champs being out for 181.

I really do not know exactly why the BCCI has shown scant interest in me.
