Bengaluru Blasters vs Shivamogga Strikers, T20, 9th Match, August 20, 2019 - Match Info

That's all we have from this one. CAN'T WAIT to be back tomorrow for continued coverage of the KPL. Bye for now!

Mithun, Shivamogga captain and MoM: Had depth in our batting. Knew one batsman had to take a chance, which was me. I guess we benefited from the rain delay.

Jonathan, Blasters captain: Initially momentum was with them, was difficult for us to come back. Spinners did well, but we were 20-25 short. Still have trust on my boys. Will come back in the next game.

22:44 Local Time, 17:14 GMT, 22:44 IST: After a quickfire start from wicketkeeper-batsman Nihal Ullal, Shivamogga lost three wickets for 7 runs, a phase where things were beginning to get interesting. But Mithun's blitzkrieg just blew away any hopes of a turnaround as Shivamogga Lions romped to their third straight win with nearly 2 overs to spare in a chase that was reduced to 12 overs due to rain. With this, the Lions have gone top of the table. Presentations coming your way..

10.1 V Koushik to M Nidhish, FOUR, carved through backward point, and that's the win for Shivamogga

9.6 Anand Doddamani to M Nidhish, 1 run, creamed to point

9.4 Anand Doddamani to M Nidhish, 1 run, driven to long-on

9.3Anand Doddamani to M Nidhish, no run, chopped back into the pitch, was rolling onto the stumps but Nidhish was aware to it. Stops it with his bat

9.2 Anand Doddamani to Mithun, 1 run, yorker on off, jammed through mid-off

9.1 Anand Doddamani to Mithun, 2 runs, flighted up well wide outside off, Mithun reaches out and hammers it to sweeper cover. Very casual fielding, they come back for two

8.6 Rohan Raju to Mithun, 1 run, some confusion between the umpires. Eventually, they've deemed it a legal delivery. Was a high full toss, Mithun mistimed the slog to deep midwicket

8.5 Rohan Raju to Mithun, SIX, Mithun on the rampage here. And he's being aided by some poor bowling. Another length ball, smokes it over long-off. Celebrates with a twirl

8.4 Rohan Raju to Mithun, SIX, just killed the game off in these last three balls. Short of length outside off, slaps it over long-off

8.3 Rohan Raju to Mithun, FOUR, short of length outside off, Mithun swings hard on the pull and sends a top-edge past the keeper

8.2 Rohan Raju to Mithun, SIX, another massive strike from Mithun. Raju serves up length and he's been creamed over midwicket. Huge!

7.6 Bharath Devaraj to M Nidhish, 1 run, short outside off, slapped hard to deep extra cover
