Shreyas Gopal (Mangaluru Dragons Captain): "Yeah, I think it was a very good toss to win. We got off to a good start with the ball, credit to Abhinav for playing a blinder. But I think 175 was just under par and he played really really well.
The pitch did not change too much, the first 10 overs we had a little bit more for pacers but the wicket got better and the second match is going to be high scoring. The top 4-5 of us have to bat really deep, and keep wickets at the backend.
It's a good problem to have if these guys can take the responsibility to bat through the tournament. Some small execution problems for us but credit to Abhinav, same balls to a different batter and we would have a smaller target to chase."

6:23 PM IST, Local Time | Back-to-back MAXIMUMs for Managluru Dragons to complete a dominant victory here! They defeat a hapless Shivamogga Lions by 8 wickets to take home their first victory of Maharaja Trophy 2024!
Mangaluru Dragons won the toss and elected to bowl first, and they ran through the Shivamogga Lions batting lineup quickly to leave them reeling at 69/4 at one stage. However, Abhinav Manohar had other ideas, as he turned up the heat with an unbeaten 84 runs off 34 balls, including 9 MAXIMUMs to help his team to a total of 175/6 at the end of their 20 overs.
Come the chase, Mangaluru Dragons' opening duo of Noronha and Patil were off to a flying start and eventually scored 75 runs in 5.5 overs, which is where Wadhwa sent Noronha back to the dugout for 43 runs from 19 balls. Patil carried on the mantle to eventually score 72 runs off 40 balls to break the backbone of this chase.
Jose and Siddharth ensured they navigated the remainder of the chase safely to seal the victory for their team in 16.2 overs. Sidhharth stayed unbeaten on 38 runs off 19 balls, striking at 200.
Shivamogga Lions will be disappointed by their performance today with only Abhinav Manohar's knock being the positive for them. Mangaluru Dragons on the other hand will be ecstatic with the victory and will look to build on this in the matches to come!
