Mangalore, April 29: Putting up a scintillating all-round show, Team Mangalore beat Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak's men by 38 runs in a T20 encounter at NMPT Ground, Panambur, on Sunday.

Batting first the Mangalore team named as Western Institute Karnataka Indians scored a mammoth 193 runs in their allotted 20 overs.

Opener Naushad starred for Karnataka Indians blasting 72 off 49 deliveries while Gurudeep also contributed with a half century scoring 50 off 37 balls.

The Karnataka Indians lost 6 wickets during the course of their innings. For Property Infratech Zimbabwe Africans, Pomie Mbangwa picked up two wickets giving away 27 runs while Elton Chigumbura, Raymond Price and Douglas Marillier picked up a wicket apiece.

In reply, the Zimbabwe Africans had a tough time negotiating the pace of Sampath Kumar who picked up 3 wickets in his first spell, including 2 in one over to put the African team on the backfoot straightaway.

Sampath Kumar accounted for former captain of Zimbabwe Alistair Campbell (1) who opened with the current national team captain Brendon Taylor (3) and Charles Coventry (2) who held the record for the highest individual ODI score of 194 alongside Saeed Anwar of Pakistan for a long time until it was eclipsed by Sachin Tendulkar's double ton at Nagpur.

Grant Flower, another veteran of the Zimbabwe side showed his class with a few shots on either side of the wicket but his stay on the crease was brief too and he departed for 18 after being bowled by Karnataka Indians skipper Jayaprakash.

With almost half his side back in the hut, skipper Heath Streak stepped out to bat and with Douglas Marillier, put on 87 runs for the sixth wicket. While Streak hit some real big ones out of the park, Marillier played some of his trademark cheeky shots and reverse sweeps. However, the asking rate was too much for the Streak and Marillier to handle and they both departed ultimately scoring 59 and 28 respectively. Streak's half century comprised of four sixes and five fours while Marillier smashed four hits across the fence.

It was then a question of completing the formalities and Sampath Kumar returned to bowl the last over disturbing the timber of Terry Duffins and Dirk Viljoen off the last two bowls to snatch a five wicket haul. At the end of the innings, his figures read 5/22. Spinner Sumeeth scalped two wickets while Vinay GK and captain Jayaprakash picked up a wicket each. The Zimbabwe Africans could only manage 155, handing over a 38 run victory to the local team.

Naushad took home the 'Man of the Match' award for his splendid batting performance in addition to the 'Highest Score Award' as well.

Zimbabwe Africans skipper Heath Streak was awarded the 'Highest Sixes Award'. His teammate Douglas Marillier was awarded the 'Outstanding Spectacular Cricketer' award.

Gurudeep of Karnataka Indians won the 'Best Batsman' award while Elton Chigumbura and Sampath Kumar won the 'Best Fielder' and 'Best Bowler' awards respectively.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
