Pitch Report

- The pitch for the semi-final has a lot of grass in it. It doesn't have a lot of surface moisture, the new ball will do a lot of damage. For the spinners, they have to make use of the hardness. This is the kind of the pitch, as a batter, you have to get yourself in, give time for 2-3 oversand play accordingly to the situation. 160-170 could be a match winning total

Commentary

That's it then, folks. A good campaign from the Mystics comes to an end. Padikkal would have a lot to learn from it and the team would take a ton of good memories from the campaign. The Blasters have turned their fortunes around and are now staring right in the eyes at their first title. A good break for them before the big final in a couple of days. It's Rudransh and Pragadeesh signing off for Sportskeeda. Ciao!

Mayank Agarwal (Bengaluru Blasters captain): It was a clinical performance. For our bowlers to come back like that after the first two was phenomenal. To be honest, we were under the pump after the first two overs but for Mohsin to come and stick to his plans and Lavish's two wickets changed the game for us. The situations he's winning for us are very, very good. We paid a little bit of premium for him but he's delivering for us. It's more about mentally preparing for the game and turning up physically. Big, big turnaround for us. A lot of credit needs to go to the think tank. Performances on the field are always highlighted but there's a lot that goes behind the scenes. We spent 4-5 hours for so many days to prepare for the auction and create a good environment.

And finally, Chethan LR is the Player of the Match!

Mayank Agarwal wins the trusted player of the match award!

Mohsin Khan gets the Fair Player of the match award!

Kranthi Kumar wins the man of steel award!

Chethan LR wins the award for the most sixes!

Kranthi Kumar wins the award for the best catch of the match!

Lavish Kaushal gets the Purple Cap!

Bengaluru Blasters win by 9 wickets and romp into the Maharaja Trophy 2024 final!

Chethan LR 89 (51) | Kranthi Kumar (2/22)
Luvnith Sisodia 41 (20) | Rithesh Bhatkal (1/20)

A dominating performance from the Blasters who have outclassed a really strong opponent, showing that they are not here to challenge but to snatch that title. They go into the final with a wave of momentum behind them, all but overcoming the disastrous last season.

As for the Mystics, they wanted to put scoreboard pressure on the opponent and see batting first as an opportunity. However, that's always a double edged sword because if you don't score enough then the opponent can time the chase like a walk in the park without any pressure.

It's not like the Mystics didn't want to win it enough but they just seemed carried away in the first innings with a lot of false shots going to hand. Chethan survived two close calls in the first over but went on to win the game with a surreal knock.

With the Mystics not testing them with spin early on, Chethan just got a free hand. Mayank supported him brilliantly at the other end with good strike rotation and the occasional big shot.

Only Bhatkal seemed up for it and maintained a good economy rate till the end and was rewarded with Mayank's late wicket. But others giving too much width and bad lengths meant that the wicket meant nothing as Chethan Raju finished things off with an over to spare.

17.1 Monish Reddy to Bhuvan RM, FOUR! The Blasters book their spot in the final! A thoroughly dominating performance by them. Fuller delivery on off-stump, Bhuvan gets underneath it and lofts it over mid-off to seal things in style

The scores are level! Mystics are already at home.

16.6 Abhishek Prabhakar to Bhuvan RM, low full toss, flicked to deep fine leg for a single. The scores are level

16.5 Abhishek Prabhakar to LR Chethan, shuffles across and ramps the length delivery but doesn't get hold of it properly. They take a run

16.4 Abhishek Prabhakar to LR Chethan, on a good length, Chethan gets cramped and the ball hits his pads

16.3 Abhishek Prabhakar to LR Chethan, SIX! A big strike and the Blasters are one strike away now. Pitched up on a fuller length, Chethan thumps it over long-on for a maximum

16.2 Abhishek Prabhakar to LR Chethan, back of a length, Chethan opens the blade and dabs it to backward point

16.1 Abhishek Prabhakar to LR Chethan, SIX? Pitched up on a good length, Chethan steps away and smacks it over mid-off. Did the ball hit the boundary cushion on a full? The umpire signals a boundary

Final strategic time-out of the match. It will only delay the Mystics' misery by 2.5 minutes. The Blasters are a couple of shots away from the final and you can expect them to not waste much more time to get there after this break.
