That will be all from our side as we wrap up our coverage of this Legends League Cricket game. For now, the pair of Soumarya Dutta and Saptak Sanyal are taking your leave on behalf of our Scorer/Analyst Chandan Kumar Singh. See you soon!
Irfan Pathan(Konark Suryas Odisha Captain) - "I told the boys that it was a slow pitch and it was important for us to pick up early wickets. Shahbaz started well and the fast bowlers were really good. Dilshan did well with his three overs too. We made a vital change in the final ball of the innings and it allowed us to win the game. I was trying to bowl my variations and it's not easy. We're now part time cricketers and it's hard to get back into rhythm. It was a great game in the end. "
Vinay Kumar(Legend of the Match): "It was very crucial for me to score the 11 runs. I was clear in my mind. Rahul gave me the pace and it was tough to go down the ground so I tried to go for the cheeky shots. We played a lot in the nets and I practiced those shots a lot. It's a new team and the owner is very much supportive, The credit goes to everyone including Irfan for leading the side incredibly."

Game Changer of the Match: Navin Stewart
Harbhajan Singh(Manipal Tigers Captain): "I think it was chaseable. Unfortunately we didn't get a go in the beginning. Our biys have fought till the end specially Obus and Dan. I think in small total like this, one need to play positive cricket. It wasn't a spinning track but that's what pressure does to you. You fail to execute your shots. But that's okay. It's just the start of the tournament. Yes it was a seesaw type of a game. The way we fought in the last five overs was great. We will take something from that and will move on."
22:57 IST and Local Time- It has been an incredible game of cricket and in the end it was the Konark Suryas Odisha that won the game by just 2 runs. Irfan Pathan held his nerve and defended 13 runs from the final over. Earlier it was the bowlers of the Odisha team who kept picking wickets at regular intervals and made life really difficult for the batters. The Manipal Tigers looked well out of the game at the halfway stage.
The Manipal Tigers were off to a horrible start as they lost Uthappa in the very first over of the innings. Nadeem cleaned him up and Solomon Mire didn't last long as he was cleaned up by Vinay Kumar. Manoj Tiwary followed next as Laughlin trapped him in front of the stumps. The powerplay just yielded 12 runs for them for the loss of three wickets.
Dilshan Munaweera came into the attack at this stage and he picked up a couple of quick wickets of batters who could have been destructive. He got rid of Angelo Perera and Saurabh Tiwary. At the halfway stage of the innings, the Tigers were struggling at just 24/5 with the target of 105 looking massive for them.
The innings was going nowhere for the Manipal Tigers till the two overseas all-rounders Daniel Christian and Obus Pienaar got together. They picked up the singles and twos more regularly and just brought the required run rate down a bit. Heading into the final five overs, the Tigers needed 48 runs.
Pienaar and Christian put on a superb partnership and got the Tigers within touching distance of a win when Vinay Kumar came back and got rid of the veteran Aussie batter. Pienaar was going strong and almost won the game for his team but in the end Anureet Singh couldn't handle the pressure. Irfan Pathan the skipper held his nerve in the final over and and helped his side to win the game by 2 runs in the end.

19.6 I Pathan to O Pienaar
W WICKET!!!! What a start to this year's LLC we have had. Good length delivery at the off stump. Pienaar moves across and looks to heave it over the deep midwicket but misses to time it. Ambati Rayudu runs backwards for the catch and he completes a great catch. We have had a stellar first game to start.
19.5 I Pathan to A Singh
1 Full delivery outside off. Anureet hits it to cover for one. 3 required from the final ball.
19.4 I Pathan to O Pienaar
1 Good length delivery angling wide of the off stump. Pienaar moves way to his right and whips it towards cow corner for one. 4 to win from 2 balls!
19.3 I Pathan to O Pienaar
0 Slower delivery on length outside off. Pienaar swings and misses. Crucial dot ball for Irfan and his team.
19.2 I Pathan to A Singh
1 Good length delivery at the outside off stump line. Anureet whips it towards deep midwicket for one.
That brings up the 100 for the Manipal Tigers. They need just 4 runs to win from the final five deliveries.
19.1 I Pathan to A Singh
6 SIXXXX!!! What a time to get the maximum!! Anureet Singh take a bow. Good length delivery at the fourth stump. Anureet gets the massive room and he picks the slower well. He nails the heave over cow corner for a maximum.
