Commentary

That is all we have from this Maharaja Trophy encounter. Till the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Bidipto Dutta

Krishnappa Gowtham (Mangaluru Dragons captain): We had lost quite a few wickets down at 89/4. We wanted to play as per the situation. It turned out to be a good score. We knew once the dew came in, batting would become easy. Fortunately, we got early wickets that helped us. It's a new game every day so you have to come up with new ideas. I wanted to bowl the spinners early on and it paid off today. We tried to make the most of it when the ball was hard and tried to get the purchase off the surface. Not 100 per cent happy with my bowling. I could have done a bit better than what I did today but the boys are in a good frame of mind.

Mangaluru Dragons won by 31 runs

Aniruddha Joshi 39(26) | Paras Gurbaux Arya 5/22(4)
Shubhang Hegde 54(41) | Sarfaraz Ashraf 2/21(3)

A convincing victory for the Mangaluru Dragons as they win by 31 runs. Bengaluru Blasters continue to disappoint after losing their 6th match on a trot. Mayank Agarwal looks very dejected as they haven't found any ways to win a game. Shubhang Hegde and Ashraf managed to give them some stability to their score or else it would have been much worse.

It was Dega Nischal and Mayank Agarwal who started the run chase. Nischal started off with a couple of boundaries in the first over before Anand Doddamani triggered a collapse with a couple of wickets in his very first over. The ball started to grip and the batters kept playing poor shots. Jeshwanth Acharya was the 2nd casualty before Paras Gurbaux Arya turned the game on its head, bagging a five-wicket haul in just 12 deliveries.

He bowled very well but none of those deliveries were unplayable under any stress of imagination. It was poor execution from the batters and it seemed they would be bowled out for their lowest-ever score. Arya turned the ball both ways while Doddamani also made a big impact.

At 57/8, they were firmly staring down the barrel but the partnership between Shubhang Hegde and Sarfaraz Ashraf helped them to past the 100-run mark. Hegde struck some massive blows and went on to score a half-century. He remained unbeaten on 54 off 41 deliveries which was studded with a four and 4 sixes. They could eventually muster 140 in the end.

Sankalp

0 /14

19.6 Sankalp to Shubhang Hegde, MANGALURU DRAGONS WIN IT! Full on middle-stump. Shubhang stayed deep in the crease and flicked it over the in-field for a single down to deep mid-wicket on one bounce. Bengaluru Blasters manage to bat out the full 20 overs.

19.5 Sankalp to Shubhang Hegde, full on off-stump. Shubhang tried to lap it away to fine-leg from outside off-stump but failed to connect. No leg-bye either.

19.4 Sankalp to Gaurav K, WELL WELL! Good length ball around off-and-middle. Clubbed from the back foot over mid-on for a single here. Gowtham's dive was not the best on that occasion mind you! He might have hurt his left knee there.

19.3 Sankalp to Gaurav K, short over off-stump. Gaurav looks to pull it away over mid-wicket from the back foot by getting the front leg out of the way but fails to connect. Dot ball.

19.2 Sankalp to Shubhang Hegde, OH NO! DROPPED AGAIN! Short and slow outside off-stump. Shubhang slashes to the right of short third man but the fielder puts this down! One run taken.

19.1 Sankalp to Shubhang Hegde, full outside off-stump. Shubhang goes right across and tries to slap it away to long-off but all that happens is a bunt back to the bowler! No run.

Thats the penultimate over done and dusted and we are close to the inevitable at the moment. This has been a thoroughly convincing performance from Mangaluru Dragons.

1 /22

18.6 Aditya Goyal to Gaurav K, full on the toes. Flicked away to deep mid-wicket off the pads but this time, Shubhang refuses to take the single.

18.5 Aditya Goyal to Gaurav K, FOUR RUNS! Full toss on the legs. Clipped away to the left of short fine-leg off the middle of the bat for a boundary!

18.4 Aditya Goyal to Shubhang Hegde, short on leg-stump. Shubhang makes room and flicks it away to deep mid-wicket on the move for a single.

18.3 Aditya Goyal to Shubhang Hegde, short and slow over middle-and-leg. Shubhang tries to hook it away off the back foot but misses. But the umpire does not think that it is a wide for height.

18.2 Aditya Goyal to Gaurav K, full on off-and-middle. Knocked down to deep mid-wicket off the vertical bat for a single to rotate strike.

18.1 Aditya Goyal to Shubhang Hegde, low full toss outside off-stump. A mistimed shot down to long-off from deep in the crease and Shubhang cannot come back for two after taking the single!

18.1 Aditya Goyal to Shubhang Hegde, short and WIDE outside the line of leg-stump on this occasion! Any bat on that would have been four down to fine-leg.

This has been a well deserved half century from Shubhang Hegde. He has been all in his own in the tournament so far and would be hoping to continue the good work in the last 2 overs.
