That brings us to the end of our coverage. And it’s time for us to sign-off after a good game. For now, I Harshit Rathi, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and our scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. We will meet in the next one. Until then, it's cheers!
Shreyas Gopal (Shivamogga Lions Captain): "Ahh... Obviously, we have had a couple of very bad games. It's about creating the same momentum as we had during the first couple of games. We had a talk prior to the game to recreate those momentum and get the confidence back in the group.

While we chasing it, we have taken it very deep. I think the score was 10 short of the par total. Credit to the bowlers for doing a fantastic job. 175 would have been par or above par. Hats off to the bowlers who understood the wicket. Thanks to Deepak Devadiga for providing that one breakthrough.

Kranthi Kumar has been amazing for us with both bat and ball. I knew we had a few of all-rounders waiting for the batting turn despite losing a few wickets. When we spoke in the timeout, we pushed it one over a bit too late. We lost three wickets and had plenty of all-rounders to follow. Five of them. But yeah, hats off to Shivaraj and Kranthi Kumar. This is not the first time from Shivaraj that he is given us this. Even in local cricket, he has done it. He is one of the few who can do it in the state."

9:14 PM IST and Local Time: Post-match presentations are on it's way...

Shivamogga Lions win the game and seal the deal. A good performance from them overall to keep the Mysore to 162 and then got off to a good start which did set a good base for them. 

Nihal Ullal batted terrific and stood strong for the team with 45 off 39 in a crucial stand with the other middle-order batters. Abhinav Manohar with his experience, took time to settle on the field and support Nihal very well to get runs coming on the board. 

They did let the game slip away for once but were brought back well by Kranthi Kumar and S Shivaraj, who combined scored 36 off just 20 to win it for the team in the last few overs. 

Mysore will be upset about their bowling in this game, and the extras they gave away in the innings. Suchith started off really well and finished with top figures, but a couple of other bowlers went for plenty and that's where the game slipped away. 

19.4 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj
1 Good length delivery at the stumps. Slower one again. Shivaraj plays forward and pushes at it very early. Chips it back at the bowler and Venkatesh despite a stretch to his right fails to get to it. They cross over for a single and the ball rolls towards mid-on. A huge roar by the two batters as the Lions bounce back after hat-trick of defeats!
19.3 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj
0 Slower one on a full length outside off. Shivaraj plays off the front foot and misses the push on the outside edge.
19.2 M Venkatesh to K Kumar
1 Back of a length outside off. Pulled off the back foot and off the bottom half of the bat. It flies over short mid-wicket for a run as there is a protection in the deep. The scores are level now.
19.1 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj
1 Slow, full and at the off-stump. Shivaraj on the front foot reads it well and using soft hands, pushing it towards long-on for a single. He wanted the second run but Kumar sends him back.
19.1 M Venkatesh to K Kumar
1wd WIDES! Bonus runs! Over the wicket. Short one down the leg side. Kranthi misses the pull to the tumbling keeper to his left. Wide is the call by the umpire and the batters have taken an extra run as well.
5 runs are needed off the final 6 balls. Dew in it's full force and it will be M Venkatesh with the final over.

18.6 Bhandage to S Shivaraj
2 Slower one on a full length outside off. Shivaraj sits down on one knee and drags the slog sweep off the top edge. In the air and over square leg region for a couple of runs. No one was in the deep and Shivaraj survives. 19 runs coming off the penultimate over and now there is a conference in the Mysore huddle around the captain.
18.6 Bhandage to S Shivaraj
WD Wide again! Bhandage with a wide again, and this slower ball, he has completely missed it to place it correctly. All those wides would be hurting them now.
