Noronha at the other end kept chipping away, even as Abhinav Manohar departed for 11.Noronha, who mixed caution and aggression, brought up his half century in the 14th over, but could not kick on and was dismissed for a well-made 50 off 36 deliveries, leaving Mangalore in a spot of bother.A couple of deliveries later Aneeshwar Gautam was packed off for a duck, as the writing started to appear on the wall for Mangalore. Amit Verma followed suit soon after for 8 before HS Sharath added a couple of lusty blows and departed for 17 in the 17th over.
