GURGAON: Rocked by the suspension of Dinesh Mongia and Chris Cairns from its ranks, Chandigarh Lions regrouped in time to score an eight-victory over Royal Bengal Tigers in an Indian Cricket League match at the Tau Devi Lal Sports Complex on Tuesday night. Mongia and Cairns were punished for “indiscipline and lack of commitment” but Lions did not allow the unfortunate development to have any impact on its morale. The victory, third in four matches, kept it on course for a semifinal berth as Tejinder Pal Singh played the match-winning role to perfection. Opting to field, Lions restricted Tigers to 140 for nine and then knocked off the runs with 15 balls to spare. T.P. Singh took only 48 balls to make his unbeaten 74 with eight fours and two sixes. Hamish Marshall was the lone performer for Tigers, which had won its last match against Dhaka Warriors comfortably. Marshall whipped 57 off 35 balls with eight fours and two sixes but the rest of the batsmen came a cropper. Deep Dasgupta and Rohan Gavaskar, having played the dominant role in the team’s victory over Warriors, perished cheaply and this cost the team dearly. The scores: Royal Bengal Tigers 140 for nine in 20 overs (Hamish Marshall 57) lost to Chandigarh Lions 141 for two in 17.3 overs (T.P. Singh 74 n.o.).
