In the fog-delayed match, HP required 300 to win in their allotted 33 overs.

Though both their openers bagged ducks, Pukhraj Mann (64) and Ankush Bains (53) brought their side back in the game.

Dube made his first strike by trapping Mann. Tail-ender Vaibhav Arora then fell to him in the 31st over.

With 10 runs needed from the final over, Dube held his nerve and dismissed the last two batters.

His brilliance meant HP were bowled out for 292.
