Hubli Tigers vs Bijapur Bulls, 2nd Semi-Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So two sides who's steamrolled most are set to square off for the bragging rights of what has been a few weeks of exhilarating cricket. And despite how ruthless Bengaluru have been all through, Bijapur could be quietly confident from how clinical they've been tonight. Do join us then as we build up to it tomorrow, and for now, on behalf of all of us, ta ta!!

Bharath Chipli (Also the Man of the Match): It was very important to get the start and MG (Naveen) batting well helped our cause. Today everything apart from the dropped catches went well and our spinners bowled well to keep them to that score. We would like to win the championship and the boys are rearing to go. We have the momentum with us.

Vinay Kumar: We started well in the first six overs but after that we didn't play up to our standards. If we had taken our catches it could have been different, as they say 'catches win matches'. Under lights the boys aren't able to guage the speed; but they are working hard and may become good fielders in the future. We had a great bunch of cricketers, many positives to take from the youngsters, Mahesh Patel, Suraj, Taha, Abhishek Reddy and the fast bowlers too were very good. But if they want to play at the next level, they need to up their game. But it has been a good campaign for us. I would also like to thank the Mysore crowd and the KSCA for putting up this tournament.

21:34 Local Time: A rather undeserving match of a semi-final. But Hubli would feel they've handed this over without a fight. 134 at the half way stage seemed decent, surely good enough given how close a similar target proved yesterday. The only positive the Tigers can take out of the second innings was Vinay Kumar's first over maiden. But then Chipli started tonking a few, Naveen took on the momentum and carried them through - bringing up the highest partnership ever of this league. But it's the catching that Hubli would be ruing, dropping almost four of them through the day. Stay on, the presentations coming your way.
