In an intriguing game, last year's semi-finalists Heroes fought back to stop the Rhinos strong batting lineup for a deserving 19-run victory to open their CCL-3 account with two points in the eight-team league cum knockout format that ends on March 10 in Bengaluru.

Mumbai had lost their opening two rounds and badly needed Saturday night's crucial league points to stay in the hunt for a last four berth.

In the day's afternoon fixture, Amma Kerala Strikers put up a CCL high 245 for the loss of just two wickets off their quota of 20 overs against Bengal Tigers for a 147-run victory cruise.
