PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Curtains come down on the first game. But don't go too far as there is a second match coming up soon. Switch tabs and catch all the action. See you on the other side..

Suchith: That's what happens in a pressure game, you win or lose by two runs. That drop catch off Chipli did not help. The bowling has been our weak point throughout the tournament. We had a plan to take it till the end, but we couldn't. Few good hits in the 19th over would have taken the pressure off in the final over.

Chipli, Man of the Match: I knew we had to win this game to stay alive in the tournament. It was a good win. I thought so (that 167 was enough), our strength is the bowling attack. We did not start well but the spinners bowled well and Naveen was excellent in the final over. We are giving away 60 runs in the powerplay and the spinners once again brought us back in the game.

17:42 Local Time, 12:12 GMT: Third last over finish on the trot. KPL 2018 is gathering steam as it heads to the final stage of the league phase. Bijapur Bulls stay alive in the tournament with this win. They had to dig deep and the bowlers responded. Hoysala and Bhatkal got Mysuru off to a flier, but the introduction of spin squeezed the run flow and in the process got Bijapur the wickets. Suchith kept his side in the game with his power-hitting but he had too much to do towards the end.

Over Summary

19.6

Naveen MG to J Suchith, FOUR, Bijapur Bulls win by 2 runs. They are making a habit of winning the last over thrillers. Low full toss and Suchith crashed the drive through extra cover, but it doesn't matter

19.5

Naveen MG to J Suchith, no run, wide yorker just inside the tramline, Suchith swings and does not lay bat on ball. Is that the game?

19.4

Naveen MG to J Suchith, 2 runs, short and angled across off, Suchith swings to leg-side and slices it instead to deep extra cover. Raju took the safer route and took it on the bounce. Chipli gestures as to why he didn't come for the catch

19.3

Naveen MG to Bhareth NP, 1 run, banged in short and Bhareth is hurried on the pull, gloved over the keeper and short fine tidies up. That interception was needed as the ball was rolling towards the fence

19.2

Naveen MG to Bhareth NP, FOUR, and there's the boundary Mysuru were looking for. Overpitched as Naveen missed the yorker length, Bhareth clears his front leg and drills the drive through extra cover. Raced away!

19.1

Naveen MG to Bhareth NP, no run, Bhareth is asking the umpire for a wide and gets a respone to get on with it. Full and speared around leg, Bhareth moved inside the line and tried to pocket a wide, the umpire was not going to be deceived

Naveen MG [2.0-0-16-1] is back into the attack

14 off 6. Who will Chipli go for? Farooqui? The other option is Naveen and he is gone with him. Field being set precisely. Fine leg inside the ring..

18.6

R More to Bhareth NP, 3 runs, low full toss outside off, Bhareth drives it to deep extra cover, sweeper does extremely well to save a run for his team. Bharath dives full length and flicks the ball in play

18.5

R More to J Suchith, 1 run, fuller on middle and leg, driven to long-on

18.4

R More to J Suchith, 2 runs, in the air and safe. Suchith shuffles to heave it into the on-side, but gets it high on the bat and skies it a long way up, More runs back and dives, the ball evades him

18.3

R More to Bhareth NP, 1 run, very full and just outside off, jammed out to extra cover

18.2

R More to Bhareth NP, FOUR, slower length ball and Bhareth heaves it towards cow corner, Naveen dives to stop the ball, but almost collides with his mate from long-on. Third umpire has a look and deems it as a boundary

18.1

R More to Bhareth NP, no run, another dot for Bhareth. Dipping low full toss and Bhareth is through the shot, the ball sneaks underneath the bat

25 off 12. Still anybody's game. More to bowl the penultimate over. Suchith needs to have most of the strike for Mysuru and Bijapur need his wicket to seal the game..
