JAIPUR: Faced with a stiff target of 184, Highveld Lions could only manage 153/9 as they lost their Champions League match to Rajasthan Royals by 30 runs.
Veteran leggie Pravin Tambe took 4/15 in three overs to wreck Lions' innings. Earlier, Brad Hodge (46 not out) helped the hosts put up a formidable 183-5, as Royals picked up 21 runs in the last over.
Coming in when Royals were 110-4, Hodge, in partnership with Stuart Binny (38), kept the momentum going. Cnce Binny was cleaned up by Dwaine Pretorious, he took charge.
Aware of the fact that it wouldn't be easy to pick up quick runs against a solid bowling attack, Hodge initially kept the scoreboard ticking, leaving the big hitting for the late overs.
