Gulbarga Mystics vs Mangalore Dragons, 16th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The Maharaja Trophy keeps rolling on and we'll be back for another double-header tomorrow. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

Vyshak Vijaykumar | Player of the Match - We really deserved this, the boys played well in the last game and had sadly ended up on the losing note. Abhilash was bowling well with the new ball and the plan was to use the new ball. Smaran was batting well, both in the nets and in practice matches, hopefully, he'll continue the form. You can't get runs every game, but Smaran and Sharath took the match away from them. We just tried to hit a length and bowl according to the field.

21:06 Local Time, 15:36 GMT, 21:06 IST: A comfortable win for the Mystics, one which was never in doubt after the bowling effort. All that they needed was one solid batting effort and that came from Smaran, who remained unbeaten on a 41-ball 61 with the rest playing around him. The Dragons fought hard with the ball, but they had been let-down quite badly by their batters. They've broken a 3-match losing streak and have joined level with the Dragons with 4 points. Presentations coming up shortly..
