Commentary

That'll be it from us at Sportskeeda in terms of coverage of cricket for the day. Join us tomorrow as we look forward to loads of cricketing action all around the globe, ranging from the shortest to the longest format. Four ECS matches, a day of Test cricket, and the summit clash of the Maharaja T20 Trophy are all in store. This is I, Rajarshi, on behalf of myself and my friend and co-commentator Sooryanarayanan, signing off!

Match summary:
Gulbarga Mystics won the toss and opted to bowl

Mysuru Warriors 157/5 (20 Overs)
Pavan Despande 38(42) | Kushaal Wadhwani 2/17 (4)

Gulbarga Mystics 158/4 (19.4 Overs)
Devdutt Padikkal 96*(64) | Pavan Despande 2/16 (4)

Gulbarga Mystics win by 6 wickets with 2 balls to spare.

What an innings, what a remarkably successful effort from Devdutt Padikkal! He struggled to get bat on ball against spin bowling on countless occasions today, but to anchor a run-chase the way that he did, on a wicket that seemed unfriendly for stroke-play throughout - Padikkal has truly lived up to his reputation today! Let's not forget Manoj Bhandage's contribution today, you won't find too many instances of a batter playing second-fiddle to such perfection, finding the boundaries on demand as well the way Bhandage did today!

It was pace that helped Mysuru make early inroads in their quest to defend a target of 158, with Jeswanth Acharya finding the palms of Naga Bharath at point four balls in. Pavan Deshpande's four-over spell turned out to be of utmost utility to the Warriors, as he proceeded to claim the very dangerous Rohan Patil and then Krishnan Shrijith. Having bowled his four overs successively, Deshpande went for a mere 16 in his quota, and the pressure was starting to mount on Gulbarga.

The Mystics weren't helped by the fact that their skipper fell to an in-seamer from Monish Reddy 10 balls in. But Pandey's dismissal paved the way for Manoj Bhandage to walk in, and Padikkal seemed to find a partner on whom he could have faith. Bhandage quietly went about nurdling the ball into the outfield as Padikkal looked to take charge, taking on the pace of Reddy in between. The 17th over of the innings from Vidyadhar Patil saw the Gulbarga Mystics take the front seat in the game for good - 20 came off it, Bhandage was given a reprieve thanks to some abominable communication between the fielders under a high ball.

From thereon, the required rate started to fluctuated around 6 an over. It became 6 going into the penultimate over, and was slashed in half by the time the last over began. Padikkal had the opportunity to seal the deal with a six and get his hundred while at it, but the two batsmen chose to be a lot more modest and professional in their approach, doing the job in singles. Gulbarga Mystics will return to the Chinnaswamy tomorrow to take on the Bengaluru Blasters in the summit clash tomorrow.

Manish Pandey, Gulbarga Mystics captain: Thought we could have had a better wicket, but that's fine. Getting them down to 157, I thought that was a fairly decent score. The way we have been batting throughout the tournament has been brilliant, so I thought we had to bank on our batsmen, and it was great to be on the winning side. DDP was batting well, when the left-arm spinner was bowling, I told him he's all yours today, just take him on and that's what we did. Really happy to have him back, the way he finished the game for us today was brilliant. He (Padikkal) has always been an integral part of the team because he's an experienced batsman, we were a couple of batsmen short a couple of games before, really happy he played well for us. (On Kushaal Wadhwani) been very good under pressure, because he bowls those kind of lengths where it gets difficult for the batsman, just thought we'll back him at the end of the tournament and he started to do well for us.

Devdutt Padikkal is the Player of the Match for his stunning 64-ball unbeaten 96. This is what he has to say: I really wanted to contribute today because it was really disappointing not to be part of the team last game. The way the boys played the last game was really heartening to see and I wanted to contribute today. I'm also human and I also felt I wasn't doing that well for the side. I wanted to perform for the side today and glad to be in the final. I'm fine and hopefully I can turn up tomorrow. I was really unsure to be honest if I should keep going or take it deeper. He (Bhandage) came in and went for his shots and that allowed me to go deeper.

A bit of an anti-climatic end, but neither Padikkal or Gulbarga Mystics will be deterred by that, they are returning to play the final of the 2022 Maharaja T20 trophy against the Bengaluru Blasters tomorrow!

19.4 Shreyas Gopal to Devdutt Padikkal, PLAYS IT WISE! What an innings from Devdutt Padikkal! He was unwell heading into this game but he sure wasn't out. And he's stepped up on the big occasion to lead his side to a fine victory. Short outside off and he arches back to steer a square cut to deep point as he saunters across to ensure that the Gulbarga Mystics qualify for the summit clash with a 6-wicket win!

19.3 Shreyas Gopal to Manoj Bhandage, good length delivery spinning across the corridor, Bhandage knocks it towards Deshpande at extra cover for a single and it levels the scores. Can Padikkal seal it in style and notch up a ton?

19.2 Shreyas Gopal to Manoj Bhandage, WAS IT DROPPED? Short googly just outside off, Bhandage rocks back and punches it uppishly to extra cover. Might have fallen just short of Deshpande at extra cover as he lunges forward.

19.1 Shreyas Gopal to Devdutt Padikkal, flighted back of a length delivery on leg stump, Padikkal rocks back and works it to deep mid-wicket as he's content with a single.

Gulbarga Mystics need 3 to book a place in the summit clash. Devdutt Padikkal needs a six to get to his hundred. Can he get to that three-figure mark, or does Shreyas Gopal, coming on to bowl the last over, be able to conjure a miracle for Mysuru?

18.6 Monish Reddy to Devdutt Padikkal, length delivery on leg stump, Padikkal hops back to nudge it to deep mid-wicket as he retains strike with a single. 3 needed off the final over!

18.5 Monish Reddy to Manoj Bhandage, TIGHT RUN! In the arc on off stump and Bhandage swings across the line like a rusty gate. The edge flies to short third man as Padikkal charges towards the danger end with a stretch. He makes his ground on time despite a direct hit and the square leg umpire is satisfied with it.

18.4 Monish Reddy to Manoj Bhandage, FOUR! PERFECT PLACEMENT! Slower length delivery outside off, Bhandage sits low and slogs it flat into the gap along mid-wicket and bisects the gap between the boundary rider on either side to perfection. Just one big hit away from a spot in the final now!

18.3 Monish Reddy to Devdutt Padikkal, full toss on off stump, Padikkal stands tall but can only hack it off the toe-end to wide long on. Just a single!

18.3 Monish Reddy to Devdutt Padikkal, WIDE! Gets it wide of off this time as he lands it into the block hole. Way beyond the tramline though as Padikkal reaches out in vain.

18.2 Monish Reddy to Devdutt Padikkal, inch-perfect yorker on the fourth-stump line, Padikkal hangs deep in his crease and shovels it back into his toes before the bowler sprints forward towards the ball.

18.1 Monish Reddy to Manoj Bhandage, full and wide of off, Bhandage sits on one knee and creams it with an open face to the right of sweeper cover. Puts Padikkal back on strike and the crowd is on its feet!

Monish Reddy (2-0-15-1) is back into the attack

12 off 12. Last throw of the dice from Karun Nair, he continues with pace from this end, but he brings on Monish Reddy. No pressure whatsoever on Gulbarga.
