Karun Nair (Mysore Warriors captain): (On the support and winning in front of their supporters again) Very happy to see so many fans coming here and supporting up and hope they keep coming in numbers. (On battng with Ravikumar Samarth) Samarth and I understand each other's games really well and that helped when we were out in the middle. (On the team environment) Every player is putting his hand up to do the job and that is key. (On if this win is the best up to now) Every win is important, we will have to keep the wins coming.
Ravikumar Samarth is adjudged the Player of the Match for his classy 73 off 42 balls!
What an incredible effort this has been from the Mysore Warriors and they've pulled off a great victory against the table toppers Hubli Tigers. They went all guns blazing for the run chase in the powerplay as Ajith Karthik and Samarth took on the spinners early on.
Once Ajith Karthik was gone, Samarth shifted gears and he scored at a rapid rate. He was joined by Karun Nair who played second fiddle to him in an all important partnership. Samarth went berserk in the middle overs and ensured that they Warriors were always ahead of the chase at all stages of the innings.
There was a brief hiccup in the middle as Pravin Dubey inflicted two dismissals in one over of Nair and impact player Lankesh. The Tigers skipper managed to effect the dismissal of Samarth as he ran him out with a brilliant piece of fielding. However, Shoaib Manager and Rakshith S put on a really well measured and calculated stand of 42 runs and pulled of the win with ease in the end.
The bowlers struggled early on and for the greater part of the innings., The spinners, D'Mello, Dubey and Cariappa were really expensive. Dubey did take three wickets to keep them in the hunt going into the final four overs of the innings but he never got any support from the other end. The likes of Santokh and Darshan were also very expensive as the Tigers felt the absence of Widwath Kaverappa.
18.5 Santok Singh to Shivkumar Rakshith, FOUR RUNS TO WIN IT! FOUR WINS OUT OF FOUR NOW FOR MYSORE WARRIORS! Full and in the slot around off-stump. Smashed straight back past the bowler from the middle of the bat and the ball raced away to the right of long-off for a boundary! Hubli Tigers lose their first match of the competition.
18.4 Santok Singh to Shoaib Manager, full toss around off-stump. Square driven down to deep cover point off the front foot for a single.
18.4 Santok Singh to Shoaib Manager, full and WIDE outside off-stump on this occasion. This ball will have to be re-bowled.
18.3 Santok Singh to Shivkumar Rakshith, full around off-stump. Lofted from deep in the crease over the in-field and down to long-off for a single only.
18.2 Santok Singh to Shoaib Manager, good length ball over off-stump. Shoaib went for the glory shot over square-leg from down on one knee but could only get a leg-bye to backward point.
18.1 Santok Singh to Shoaib Manager, over the wicket, SIX RUNS! Good length ball on off-stump. Shoaib goes down on one knee and hoicks it over the top to get it away over deep mid-wicket for a maximum!
Santokh Singh [2.0-0-19-0] comes back into the attack
Shoaib Manager found a boundary in that over and just nudged it around for a few singles after that as the Warriors are getting closer to a win here. They need just 12 runs from the final two overs.

17.5 MB Darshan to Shivkumar Rakshith, short and slow around off-stump. Rakshith comes inside the line and pats it down to long-on for a single. They thought about two but gave up on it in the end.
17.4 MB Darshan to Shoaib Manager, ALMOST! Good length ball around off-stump. Driven on the up off the thick outside edge to backward point but it falls just short of the man! One run taken in the end.
17.3 MB Darshan to Shoaib Manager, good length ball on off-stump. Pushed back to the bowler on the up but for no run this time.
17.2 MB Darshan to Shoaib Manager, FOUR! Hard length delivery but outside off-stump. Shoaib opens the bat face away from the body and gets an educated edge down past the left of short third man for a boundary!
17.1 MB Darshan to Shoaib Manager, over the wicket, OH WELL! Short and slow on off-stump. Shoaib tried to work it to mid-wicket but it ended up lobbing up almost to the bowler on the full in his follow through! No run.
MB Darshan [1.0-0-10-0] comes back into the attack.
Rakshith managed to pump Dubey into the crowd for a six of the final ball of that over and that has surely shifted the game back in the favor the Warriors as they need 19 more to win from the final three overs.
