Bengaluru, Aug 27 (Ians) Defending Champions Gulbarga Mystics made light work of their 145-run chase as they beat the Mangaluru Dragons by 8 wickets with 4.3 overs to spare in the Maharaj Trophy Ksca T20.
A magnificent 114-run opening stand between Gulbarga’s Kv Aneesh (72* off 42 balls) and L.R Chethan (58 off 37 balls) after a clinical bowling performance in the first innings from their bowlers led by Abhilash Shetty (3/33) made them the third team to find a place in the semifinals.
After the Mangaluru Dragons were asked to bat first by the Gulbarga Mystics, Br Sharath (38) and Thippa Reddy (27) got them off to a great start scoring 51 runs off the first five overs despite a first-ball duck for Rohan Patil who was caught behind off Gulbarga skipper Vyshak Vijaykumar’s bowling in the second over.
The fall of Br Sharath in the sixth over led to a middle-order collapse with the Gulbarga Mystics bowlers continuously chipping away wickets.

Bengaluru, Aug 27 (Ians) A stylish fifty by Devdutt Padikkal, a late blitzkrieg by captain Manish Pandey and then some accurate bowling by the bowlers led by Manoj Bhandage helped the Gulbarga Mystics lift the inaugural edition of the Maharaja Trophy.
The Mystics saw off the challenge of Bengaluru Blasters by 11 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.
Batting first, the Gulbarga Mystics got off to a flying start with the in-form Jeswath Acharya and Rohan Patil firing on all cylinders in the powerplay. Both batters were dealing in boundaries in the initial phase — scoring at more than 10 runs an over, as they put on a stand of 60 runs before Patil was the first to depart for 38.
Acharya was joined by the stylish Padikkal and they continued to keep the momentum going. The partnership though wasn’t a big one as Acharya walked back for 39 in the 7th over.

Bengaluru, Aug 18 (Ians) A fine all-round performance by a non-all-rounder, Devdutt Padikkal, helped Gulbarga Mystics score a convincing six-wicket victory over table toppers Bengaluru Blasters on Thursday in the Maharaja Trophy T20 Tournament at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
With this victory, their fourth from seven matches, the Mystics moved to eight points and a share of the second place with Mysore Warriors and Mangalore United while the Blasters stayed at the top on 10 points but with an extra match played.
It was the day of the Mystics as Padikkal shone both with the ball and the bat in a man-of-the-match performance. The left-handed opener first starred in the field taking five catches to underline his athleticism as the Blasters were brought down to earth with a thud after their thundering 25-run victory over Shivomagga Blasters on Wednesday.

Mysore, Aug 15 (Ians) Aniruddha Joshi played a blinder, scoring a half-century at blistering pace, while Rishi Bopanna and Pradeep T. caused significant damage with the ball as Bengaluru Blasters handed Mangalore United a 66-run defeat in the Maharaja Trophy T20 cricket tournament.
Batting first, the Bengaluru Blasters saw L.R. Chethan (6) depart cheaply before captain Mayank Agarwal took charge, along with Aneesh K.V. The India batter was the more aggressive of the two, bringing out his full range of shots during the powerplay.
Agarwal looked set for a big knock but was dismissed for 47 off 27 balls, having hit two fours and three sixes. He and Aneesh put on a solid 74-run stand, giving the team some much-needed momentum.
Aneesh added 40 to the cause while Shivkumar Rakshith chipped in with a handy 34 driving the total past 150 at a good clip. By the time Rakshith was dismissed, 190 was in range with...

Mysore, Aug 13 (Ians) Pavan Deshpande turned up the style on Saturday evening, scoring a strokeful half-century for the Mysuru Warriors, before Aditya Goyal and Shreyas Gopal helped restrict the high-flying Bengaluru Blasters batting to 165/8.
That saw the Mysuru Warriors clinch a 6-run win.
Batting first, Mysore Warriors lost skipper Karun Nair for 1, but that hardly set them back as Nihal Ullal and Pavan Deshpande got their act going. The duo only made full use of the fielding restrictions in the powerplay and kept things solid, not allowing the Blasters another early breakthrough.
A 59-run stand between them gave the Warriors some breathing space before Nihal was gone for 23. Deshpande though was firing away on all cylinders, and continued to do so despite the fall of the wicket, bringing up his fifty with a six over midwicket in the 12th over.

Kolkata, Jan 16 (Ians) Assam's talented Riyan Parag put up a fine all-round show to guide his team to a 13-run win over Bengal in an Elite B match of the T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at Eden Gardens here on Saturday.

Bengaluru, Jan 10 (Ians) Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets for Uttar Pradesh (Up) in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in what was his first competitive match since he limped out of an Indian Premier League (Ipl) match in early October due to a thigh injury.
His efforts, along with captain Suresh Raina's unbeaten 56 off 50 balls went in vain as Up lost to Punjab by 11 runs in their first match of the tournament.
Bhuvneshwar's injury had ruled him out of the rest of the Ipl and India's ongoing tour of Australia. With figures of 3/22, he was the highest wicket taker for Up in their Group A match against Punjab. His efforts helped Up restrict Punjab to 134/7 in 20 overs but they were unable to chase down the low target despite captain Suresh Raina scoring an unbeaten 56 off 50 balls. Their innings ended on 123/5 in 20 overs.

Dubai, Oct 31 (Ians/GloFans) Consecutive wins in their last two matches have given Rajasthan Royals (Rr) hope for qualifying for the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) and the Steve Smith-led team will aim to capitalise from the situation when they face a deflated Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) here on Sunday.
Both Rr (bet run rate -0.377) and Kkr (-0.467) have equal 12 points each from 13 games. However, it is Rr's superior net run-rate that gives them an edge. Rr will be looking for a big win to stay ahead in middle of the jam-packed table with every team, except Chennai Super Kings (Csk), still afloat.
Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson rediscovering their form has been the catalyst for Rr in their recent matches while skipper Smith, Robin Uthappa, and Jos Buttler were also handy with the bat in their game against Kings XI Punjab.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 29 (Ians/GloFans) With five wins on the trot, a rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) will look to further boost their playoff hopes when they face Rajasthan Royals (Rr) in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) on Friday.
While Kxip (12 points) have turned it around after going on a dismal run in the first half of the season, Rr (10 points) have been wildly inconsistent in the latter half of the season and desperately need a win to be alive in the race for the playoffs season at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Kxip captain Kl Rahul (595 runs from 12 matches) has been leading the batting from the front and has received good support from his opening partner Mayank Agarwal, who missed last two games due to bruised knee.

Dubai, Sep 29 (Ians/GloFans) In-form Rajasthan Royals (Rr) will aim for a hat-trick of wins when they square-off against two-time Ipl winners Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) at the Dubai International Cricket stadium here on Wednesday evening.
After defeating Chennai Super Kings (Csk) in their campaign opener, the Steve Smith-led Rr overhauled the highest tournament total of 224 against Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) in their previous match. They are high on confidence as they take another step towards qualifying for the playoffs, though that is a bit far at the moment.
Rr opener Sanju Samson and skipper Smith smashed half-centuries in the game against Kxip. However, with the match slipping away from their hands, Haryana all-rounder Rahul Tewatia's blitzkrieg bought them back in the contest. Once again, all eyes will be on Samson, who has two half-centuries from as many games, and Tewatia, who smashed 53 off 31 balls against Kings XI Punjab.

Sharjah, Sep 26 (Ians/GloFans) The K.L. Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) began their Ipl campaign on a losing note but they bounced back in grand style by outshining Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) in their second outing. On Sunday, they will be up against a confident Rajasthan Royals (Rr), who are now evenly poised with the return of Jos Buttler along with mentor Shane Warne.
In their last game, Rahul single-handedly blew the Virat Kohli-led Rcb away with his unbeaten 132. Later, the Punjab bowlers also rose to the occasion and bundled out Rcb for a paltry 109, setting up a massive 97-run win.
The Kxip team management will hope its players to replicate the show against Rr. However, the only headache for Kxip will be the silence of Glenn Maxwell and Nicholas Pooran in the middle-order and the team management would likely try to make some minor changes here.
