And, you thought T20 is about all young guns! On Wednesday, it was, however, 41-year-old spinner Pravin Tambe, who scalped four wickets to help Rajasthan Royals beat Highveld Lions by 30 runs in a CLT20 game and maintain their winning run at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

With figures reading 3-0-15-4, it was the spinner, who ensured that the Royals don't lose plot in the midway. Having made his IPL debut this year, Tambe made the optimum use of the SMS track, which invariably helped the bowlers.

Chasing a big total, the Lions lost a few quick wickets early. But with captain Alviro Petersen (40) around, the Lions tried steadying the ship along with Hardus Viljoen (24).

Earlier, it looked like a low-scoring tie was in the offing, but Hodge (unbeaten on 46) picked up 21 runs in the last over off Tanvir to take Royals to a formidable total. But then, the Australian batsman kept it slow but steady.
