So, that's it from the coverage of this game. We will be back tomorrow with more cricketing actions from around the globe and across formats. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya alongside scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!   
Karun Nair (Mysore Warriors Captain): "Yeah, brilliant! Hats off to Manoj Bhandage to get us to that position. We didn't bat well early on. We didn't get enough partnerships. Credit goes to Bhandage.

Credit also goes to the bowlers, who defended that total in these tough conditions. At least we got a game. Credit to the ground staff for their hard work.

With the wet ball, it was brilliant by our bowlers - Suchith, Gautam, Gowtham and Vidyadhar earlier. It was difficult with the wet ball, but our bowlers and Manoj won the game for us. Hopefully, someone else will step up tomorrow.

You call for a close game, isn't it? Credit to the team management. A special bunch of guys. We will try to keep the momentum."

11:14 PM IST and Local Time: We have seen a thriller of a game in Bengaluru. A rain truncated one due to rain and in the end, it was the Mysore Warriors who held their nerve to win the game by 7 runs under the VJD method. It was a game which was marred by rain but great drainage facilities made sure that we got the game through in the end.   

Let's recap you how the match turned out. It was the Mysore Warriors who were put into bat first by Shivamogga Lions. Karthik SU scored 18 off 20 balls while C Ajit Karthik went early. Captain Karun Nair scored 18 off 16 balls. Sumit Kumar scored 14 off 14 balls. Jagadeesha Suchith scored 11 off 9 balls. Krishnappa Gowtham scored a valuable 21 off 19 balls. But it was Manoj Bhandage who stole the show and scored 42* off 16 balls. Kishan Bedare scored 12 off 8 balls. 12 extras given by the fielding side as the Warriors ended with 159/8 in 20 overs. 

For the Shivamogga Lions, Hardik Raj was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/32 in 4 overs. Pradeep T picked up 2/46 in 4 overs. Avinash D picked up 2/44 in 4 overs. Anant Doddamani ended with 1/12 in 3 overs. Koushik at the top bowled well as he gave away just 10 runs in 4 overs. 

Then there was a rain interruption and it meant that the Lions needed 88 runs in 9 overs. Captain Nihal Ullal went for a duck. Rohit Kumar scored 12 off 10 balls. Abhinav Manohar was the lone warrior for the Lions as he scored a breath-taking 52* off 29 balls. But it was not enough in the end as he lacked support from the other end. Avinash D scored 12 off 10 balls. 4 extras given by the fielding side as Shivamogga Lions scored 80/5 in 9 overs. 

Jagadeesha Suchith was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/15 in 2 overs. A wicket apiece for Gautam Mishra who was really good in the end and Vidyadhar Patil who picked up the early wicket. All in all, a good effort by the Warriors to win this game in the end. 

So, Mysore Warriors win this game by 7 runs under the VJD method over Shivamogga Lions in Bengaluru. Stay tuned for the presentations.

W WICKETTT!!!! Dhuri departs for a golden duck, but that is not a matter of concern for anyone! Mysore Warriors held their nerve to win a rain-curtailed game in the end by 7 runs! Gautam Mishra bowled a wonderful final over and kept Abhinav Manohar at bay despite getting hit for a maximum by Avinash D on the first ball of the over. Good length delivery outside the off stump. Dhuri swings across the line, loses shape, and gets a top edge. High in the air to the wicketkeeper's right, who calls for it and takes a simple one. It was Manoj Bhandage's blistering knock that made the difference in the end!
Bharath Dhuri is in at 6.
