All-rounder Dinesh Mongia played a pivotal role in the Leicestershire's thrilling 12-run victory against Worcestershire in the County Championship Division II match at Leicester.Required to score just 141 to win, Worcestershire were bowled out for 128, after being relatively safe at 95 for four at one stage. Mongia, who contributed 66 in Leicestershire's first innings score of 225 and 36 in the second innings, took two vital wickets after Ottis Gibson and Stuard Broad captured three wickets each. Gibson's prey included Steven Davies, who hit his own wicket on 49. He actually trod on his own stumps as he stepped back to pull a short-pitched delivery. That wicket opened the floodgates as Broad and Mongia ripped through the lower order. There was even the run-out of Ray Price to aid Leicestershire's cause further as the ninth wicket fell with the score on 114. Matt Mason then hit two boundaries as the match went to the wire, but when Mongia trapped last man Nadeem Malik lbw, the hosts could start celebrating. For a while, it looked like Leicestershire would barely make Worcestershire bat again as they slumped to 174 for nine. But Paul Nixon hit a brilliant 85 and featured in a vital partnership with last man Charl Willoughby which was worth 64. |
