Commentary

That's it from us here. Thank you for joining Sportskeeda for the live coverage. This is Bidipto and co-commentator Chandra taking your leave for now.....
Karun Nair (Mysore Warriors): (On the turnaround after losing two games) It was about getting off the mark first, which we did in the previous game and then, continued the good bowling today as well. Having said that, the batting should have given us more runs after the kind of start we got. (On the way the team operates) The Mysore Warriors have always strived for excellence. The players know what to do and there is enough professionalism in the squad to get the job done. 
Codanda Ajit Karthik is the Player of the Match for his match-winning all-round performance - 46 (29) and 2/28 (4)! 
It is time for the post-match presentation! 
MW won by 12 runs

SL - 178/9 (20 overs)
Rohan Kadam - 31(27) | Shivaraj S - 29(13)
Venkatesh M - 3/18 | Codanda Ajit Karthik - 2/28

A nail-biting contest which MW seals in the end by 12 runs and end SL's unbeaten streak. After posting a competitive target of 191 runs, MW started strong by dismissing opener Nihal Ullal early. 

However, the pair of Rohan Naveen and Rohan Kadam made amends and steered the scoreboard at a steady rate to shift the momentum back in their favour. Abhinav Manohar and Shreyas Gopal took on the onus and looked well-settled in the middle to take their team over the finishing line but the MW bowlers stepped up to the occasion and delivered the goods late to pull them back into the contest.

In the end, it was a little too much left as a late quickfire cameo from Shivaraj S brought them close to the target, but fell short by 12 runs. 

For MW, Venkatesh M was the star performer with his three wickets while CA Karthik and Monish Reddy finished with two scalps each. 

With the victory, MW win their second game in 4 matches while SL face their first defeat of the tournament.

19.6 M Venkatesh to Pranav Bhatia, WICKET OFF THE LAST BALL! MYSORE WARRIORS WIN! Full outside off-stump. Pranav swung hard off the front foot to get it to the right of long-on on the full. But the fielder in the deep got around in time and took a really fine catch to finish things off in style!

Pranav Bhatia c Tushar Singh b Venkatesh M 0 (1b 0X4 0X6)
19.5 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj, low and fast full toss on middle-stump. Worked away off the pads to deep square-leg for only a single! Surely this should do it for Mysore! 
19.4 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj, OH! Full around off-and-middle. Slogged away to the deep mid-wicket region from the middle of the bat and two fielders converged to somehow stop the ball from going to the boundary and keep it to two runs! The third umpire has been called for to check the boundary though. But he confirms that it is fine! 
19.3 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj, FOUR RUNS! Length ball around off-stump. Shivaraj clears the front leg and swings through the line. It goes straight over the top and bisects long-off and long-on for a boundary! 
19.2 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj, OH! Full on middle-and-leg. It was there to be flicked over the in-field to deep square-leg. Shivaraj did try that but failed to connect! No leg-bye either. 
19.1 M Venkatesh to S Shivaraj, short on off-stump. Pulled away to the wide long-on region off the back foot for a couple of runs. 
19.1 M Venkatesh to Pranav Bhatia, over the wicket, TWO WIDES! Full and way outside off-stump. WIDE called but a superb take by the keeper to his left prevents three runs for sure! 
Venkatesh M to bowl the final over

Shivaraj S slams three maximums to keep SL's chances alive as we head into the final over. Are we in for a late surprise? SL need 24 more from 6 balls.

18.6 Manoj Bhandage to S Shivaraj, SIX RUNS YET AGAIN! Full outside off-stump but Bhandage missed his length by only just. That was good enough for Shivaraj to swing through the line and scythe it over deep cover for a maximum! 
18.5 Manoj Bhandage to S Shivaraj, SIX MORE! Full outside off-stump and in the slot. Shivaraj powers it away from the front foot to get it over long-off for a maximum! 
18.4 Manoj Bhandage to S Shivaraj, full and wide outside off-stump. The attempted cover drive ends up getting edged back to the bowler, no run. 
18.3 Manoj Bhandage to S Shivaraj, SIX RUNS! Length ball around off-stump. Shivaraj crouched a bit and swing through the line. The connection was so good that it sailed well over cow corner for a maximum! 150 up for Shivamogga. 
18.2 Manoj Bhandage to S Shivaraj, full and in the block hole around off-stump. Dug out off the block hole but back to the bowler in the end, no run.
