They scored a total of 160 runs. Mohammed Taha, captain Pandey and Aneeshwar Gautam made valuable contributions.

Bengaluru Blasters bowler Lavish Kaushal was the best. He was right on target with the ball as he took 5 wickets and helped his team restrict the opposition to a low total. Kaushal also bowled one over in his innings and gave away just 17 runs in the 4 overs he bowled in the game.

Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters kept losing wickets at regular intervals and did not look like they were in the game. Captain Mayank Agarwal maintained the fort for his team by scoring a vital half-century and ending an innings of 54 runs off 34 balls.

Manvanth Kumar kept his team in contention with the ball by picking a four-fer and putting the opposition under pressure. However, Naveen MG, in the end, put in a sensational effort by scoring a 23 off 11 balls that brought the Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters back into the game as the match ended in a draw, going into a super over.

In the super over 1, Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters batted first and did not get off to a great start as they lost captain Mayank Agarwal on the first ball. In the end, Aniruddha Joshi scored the maximum to take the Blasters to 10 runs in the over.

It looked like Hubli Tigers would reach the target easily as Manish Pandey and Manvanth Kumar bowled well and took the game close to the target.

But after that, Manish Pandey’s brilliance in the field made the batsman run out of bat. In the end, 4 runs were needed off the last 3 balls with Suraj Ahuja and Aniruddha Joshi in the middle. However, Vidhwath Kaverappa kept his cool and defended the target as the match went into another big over.
