Malnad overcome Davangere in tense finish

Round-up of the second day's action in the Karnataka Premier League

Malnad Gladiators held their nerve in a tight finish against Shamanoor Davangere Diamonds in Bangalore, successfully defending a revised target of 116 from 16 overs as Davangere fell short by two runs. An opening stand of 89 in ten overs between Mayank Agarwal and CM Gautam had put Davangere in control. However, once they were dismissed with 16 needed from 23 balls, Davangere messed up the chase, losing three more wickets and ending on 113 for 5. Malnad medium-pacer Santhebennur Akshay took two of those wickets in the last over, dismissing Mohanram Nidesh and Sunil Joshi. Kunal Kapoor's 43 from 34 deliveries and Ryan Ninan's unbeaten 32 off 17 had earlier enabled Malnad to put up 149 for 8.
Nitin Bille's unbeaten 27 helped Mysore Maharaajas beat Mangalore United by seven wickets in Bangalore. In a match shortened to nine overs a side, Mangalore managed 68 for 5 after choosing to bat, with Chandra Shekar Ragavendra picking up 2 for 10 in two overs. Bille came in at the fall of Mysore's first wicket, with 43 needed off 32 balls, smashed two fours and two sixes on his way to 27 from 15 and helped his team to victory in eight overs.
