Jaipur:Brad Hodge and Pravin Tambe engineered a comfortable 30-run victory for Rajasthan Royals against Highveld Lions of South Africa in a group league match of the CLT20 here on Wednesday..

Royals thus kept their unbeaten record at home intact with 10th straight win (eight wins in IPL).

While Hodges 23-ball-46 helped Royals reach a comfortable 183 for five in 20 overs, leg-spinner Tambe had his moment under the sun with dream figures of 3-0-15-4 to restrict Lions to 153 for nine in 20 overs.

By the end of his spell, the shouts of “Pravin Pravin” by the Royals supporters was a fitting tribute to the man whose best days in Mumbai club cricket clashed with that of Sairaj Bahutule, who was Mumbais first-choice leg-break bowler for a decade.

Just like first match, unheralded Himachal Pradesh seamer Vikramjeet Malik (2/26 in 3 overs) struck early blows with some disciplined bowling as Rajasthan now are on top of Group A with a very bright chance of making it to the semi-finals.
