u00a0"We lack the experience. We are an inexperienced side and the youngsters are not used to playing under pressure and also in such atmosphere. Perhaps we gave the Royals 15-20 runs more," said Tanvir after Lions' 30-run loss to Royals in their Champions League T20 match here last night. "Moreover, Brad Hodge was picking everything we threw at him.

It was fine innings and overall the hosts batted well, and the credit goes to them. They had few big overs but we didn't have any," he added. Rajasthan, riding on Hodge's 23-ball-46 reached 183 for five in 20 overs, and then restricted the Lions to 153 for nine in 20 overs. The Lions, with one loss and a game washed out, are placed second-last in the Group A table and Tanvir said his team was in a do-or-die situation now.
