Hubli Tigers vs Bijapur Bulls, 13th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Alright. Hubli have done it twice in two days. A case of so-close-yet-so-far for Bijapur. Anyway, time to conclude the proceedings for today. The fun continues tomorrow as well. Don't forget to join us back. Goodbye!

Vinay Kumar: Top five batsmen have to take responsibility. Luckily, in the end, Dubey played well and David finished it for us. We have lots of talent in the team. We were confident. Yesterday we chased down 180 and today we got over the line chasing a low total, so lot of positives to take away from the two games.

Bharath Chipli: I think Prateek Jain bowled really but hats off to David. The wicket was sticky initially, I was waiting for the fast bowlers to come and didn't wanted to take any chances against Mitrakanth. We have some time off, we'll regroup.

Vidyadhar Patil, Player of the Match: He (Vinay Kumar) supported me well and backs me a lot.

23:16 Local Time: Wild scenes at the Chinnaswamy. The entire Hubli team charge towards David Mathias. The owner is thrilled to bits as well. It's been a riveting end to this game. The Tigers have pulled off an unthinkable win here. Jain is down on his haunches. So, where did things go wrong for Bijapur? They very much in the contest for most part of this game. Having reduced Hubli to 81/6, they were in the driver's seat. Praveen Dubey and Shrijith KL carried the rebuilding job to bring the game back in balance. The latter was struggling for timing while Dubey played risk-free cricket and kept pushing the scorecard. Once Dubey was dismissed, the Bulls were back in the ascendancy. However with 12 required off the final over, Prateek Jain started off well giving away just one off his first three balls. He messed it up off the last two balls and David Mathias turned messiah for Hubli striking a four and capping it off with a six off the final ball to pull it off for his team.

Prateek Jain to David Mathias, SIX, David Mathias, YOU GENIUS! Hubli Tigers clinch another thriller. WHAT. A. HIT. Jain can't get his yorker right once again and dishes out a low full toss on leg-stump line. Mathias stayed deep in his crease and whacked it over cow corner

5 needed off the last ball. Can Mathias do something special here?

Prateek Jain to David Mathias, FOUR, this ain't over. Jain misses the yorker and gifts a low full toss. Mathias with his long levers hammers it straight down the ground

Prateek Jain to David Mathias, 2 runs, heaved away towards deep mid-wicket. It hits the practice pitch and takes off. But the fielder does really well to pull it back and the long-on fielder completes the throw

Prateek Jain to David Mathias, no run, only 1 run off the first three balls. Wow. Angles in a yorker just outside off, Mathias tries to get under it but in vain. It was very close to kissing the off-stump

Vinay Kumar in the dug-out looks pretty tensed.

Prateek Jain to Somanna, 1 run, almost a yorker again, Somanna makes room and digs it out to extra cover

Prateek Jain to Somanna, no run, top stuff from Jain. Pin-point yorker, nothing much Somanna can do about it. Jams it back

12 required off the final over. Prateek Jain will bowl it.

Naveen MG to David Mathias, no run, a dot to finish the over. Good finish from Naveen. Gets his yorker right just outside off and Mathias squeezes it to the left of the bowler again. Naveen this time stretches his left hand and stops it

Naveen MG to Somanna, 1 run, dipping low full toss, Somanna toe-ends it to the left of the bowler. Naveen gets a hand and makes a half-stop

Naveen MG to David Mathias, 1 run, slower short ball, Mathias is early into the pull and places it to the empty square leg region

Naveen MG to Somanna, 1 run, very full from Naveen, jammed to long-on

Naveen MG to David Mathias, 1 run, straighter line from Naveen, turned quietly to mid-wicket

Naveen MG to David Mathias, FOUR, priceless boundary for Hubli. Wafts a low full toss outside off, Mathias uses the pace and opens his bat face to slice it past backward point. It was in the air but just wide of the fielder
