Mangaluru, Apr 2: Bowlers of Mangalore United ruled the roost as they unnerved Karkala Gladiators batsmen in an one-sided final match at Dr B R Ambedkar Stadium on the outskirts of the city to clinch the Mangalore Premier League-2018 trophy last night.

The fourth edition of the MPL was jointly organized by the Brand Vision Events, Mangalore Occasionals and Sea Bird Cricket Academy with the approval and guidance of Karnataka State Cricket Association. A total of 12 teams had participated in the tourney which commenced on March 20.

Akshay Ballal-led Mangalore United had entered the summit round with a great strain as they had to go through a Super Over to defeat T4 Super Kings in a nail-biting seminal on Saturday. In the finale, however, the situation was quite different as it seemed that the Gladiators had poised to surrender themselves halfway through by laying down the weapons in the battlefield.

After turning in a command bowling performance to skittle Suhel Semitha –led team for a mere 72 in 16.1 overs, the explosive Mangalore United batting line-up secured the team's triumph over Karkala Gladiators with almost eleven more overs to spare in the T20 match.

Gladiators never recovered from an early triple strike as eight of their eleven players returned to the dugout even before making a double-digit score. Only Nithin Mulky (29 off 25 balls), Suhel Semitha (11 off 12 balls) and Afwan Karkala (10 off 15 balls) reached double figures.

Aggressive all-rounder Ballal, who claimed 3 wickets for 18 runs in four overs, proved deadly for Gladiators in batting too. He smashed a blistering 48 off 30 balls comprising nine authoritative fours to emerge as the man of the match. In the first ball of the 10th over, Mangalore United crossed the Gladiators’ target and scored 74 runs after losing two wickets.

Incidentally, Mangalore United is owned by B A Mohiuddin Bava, the MLA of Mangaluru City North and a local patron of cricket, whose team with the same name had in the past emerged champions in Karnataka Premiere League (KPL) too.

Mangaluru, May 20: The local unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has defended the delay in repatriation of coastal Kannadigas from Middle Eastern countries saying that it is impossible to bring all expatriate together at a time when covid-19 cases are continuing to spike in the region. 

Addressing a press conference, Sudarshan M, president of Dakshina Kannada unit of BJP said that the entire district administration was working as a team under the leadership local MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and district minister Kota Shrinivas Poojary and seven BJP MLAs in this critical juncture.

“Without any bias, we also have reached out to the needs of people of Mangaluru assembly constituency represented by former minister and Congress MLA U T Khader,” he said, adding that his party will not forget Indian expatriates in the Gulf too. 

Replying to the charge of not catering to the interests of Kannadigas stranded in the Middle East by way of arranging special flights, Sudarshan said this is part of a well-thought-out move to bring them in batches.

“It is impossible to bring back all Kannadigas stranded in Middle East all of a sudden. Their repatriation will be in phased manner based on facilities available in the district,” he said.

“The district authorities have created healthcare and quarantine facilities for a limited number, be it at Covid-19 hospital or institutional quarantine, and bringing them together will create logistical problems,” he said.
