That now means that Shivamogga Lions finish without a win in KPL 2018 while Ballari Tuskers end their otherwise forgettable campaign with a win under their belt. And that's it from the group stage of the KPL, join us again for the playoffs.

An excellent over from Akshay and the Tuskers complete a comfortable win. They should have done it in 20 overs but they took it to a super over and came out on top.

With 21 to defend, the fast bowler conceded just nine and the Tuskers comfortably win in the super over.

Just two runs off the first two balls and that should be that for the Lions.

Akshay has the ball while Aditya and Anirudha are the two batsmen.

Even 21 will be enough for Shivamogga as they hit more boundaries in their innings. But who will bowl for the Tuskers?

Shivamogga Lions need 22 to win this. The decision to go with a spinner in the super over didn't pay off.

Ritesh Bhatkal finishes it off with a six. And that now means that Ballari Tuskers finish with 21 runs in the super over.

Back-to-back sixes! This has all gone very wrong in the space of two balls. Back-to-back sixes now means that 14 have come off the first four balls.

SIX! Juicy length ball and the batsman says thank you very much and picks up a six. That is the 200th six of the KPL.

OUT! A wicket off the second ball. Karthik tries to go big but can only pick out the fielder in the deep.

Super Over coming up.

CM Gautam and Karthik are the two batsmen. Aniruddha Joshi to bowl.

Failure to complete one more run will now bring both teams into the pitch for one last time - for 12 more balls.

Excitement to the innermost pore as the match stretches on till the most possible end of things.
