Shivamogga Lions vs Bengaluru Blasters, 6th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all from today but the action continues with another double header tomorrow. Do join us for that. Goodbye..

Shreyas Gopal: It has been great, two out of two is something we dreamt about at the start of the season. There are a couple of things we can work on but we are pulling things back really well. I didn't think the situation didn't me to bat and you need to be selfless at those time. I always felt Kranthi and Shivu are better finishers than me. Bhuvan had not played me before, so I thought I could get him out and bowling a maiden in the first over was very satisfying. I thought 170-180 is par and I back my bowlers to defend that.

Rohan Kadam | Player of the Match: It was a little sticky upfront. Nihal Ullal batted well and gave us a good start. I know my batting, my strengths and batted according to that.

21:03 Local Time, 15:33 GMT: The chase never got going. Losing Mayank and Bhuvan for no score on the board set the Bengaluru Blasters. Acharya and Deshpande steady?the innings with a 50-run stand but the Shivamogga bowlers kept striking in regular intervals. At one point it seemed that the Blasters would succumb to a huge defeat but a few lusty blows from the lower order, especially in the 16th over which went for 27 runs, reduced the margin of defeat. In the end 36 runs is still a lot but it could have been much worse for the Blasters. Shivamogga Lions make it two out of two and are looking like a well oiled unit, they and Hubli Tigers are the only two teams yet to lose a game. Hang around for the presentations..
