Shivamogga Strikers vs Bijapur Bulls, 19th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Bhavesh Gulecha to Harish Kumar, out Caught by Shishir Bhavane!! Third wicket for Bhavesh. It was a full toss and Harish could have smashed it anywhere, he only manages to slice it to extra cover. Dolly for Bhavane. Harish Kumar c Shishir Bhavane b Bhavesh Gulecha 0(1)

Bhavesh Gulecha to Somanna, out Caught by Naveen MG!! Good catch by Naveen. The ball was up for an eternity. Full and in the slot, Somanna is early into the shot and hence the toe-end sends it right up near long-off, Naveen waits and waits before hanging on calmly. Somanna c Naveen MG b Bhavesh Gulecha 37(29) [4s-1 6s-1]

Bhavesh Gulecha to Prithvi Shekawat, out Caught by (sub)Amar Ghale!! Shekawat had no other option than to go for it. But he could have let that ball go, way outside off and would have been a wide, instead he shuffled and reached, cue-ended the loft straight to extra cover. Prithvi Shekawat c (sub)Amar Ghale b Bhavesh Gulecha 0(1)

Naveen MG to Adhoksh Hegde, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. The execution was not there. Walked across his sticks to play the scoop, but it was the slower delivery and no pace meant Hegde was through his shot, the ball arrived later, hit the back boot and rolled onto the stumps. Adhoksh Hegde b Naveen MG 42(34) [4s-5]

Bhavesh Gulecha to Somanna, FOUR, he likes that area. Goes deep in the crease while making room, opens up the off-side nicely and lofts it handsomely over extra cover, couple of bounces and into the fence

Naveen MG to Somanna, 1 run, very full and close to yorker length, squeezed out to long-off

Naveen MG to Adhoksh Hegde, FOUR, consecutive boundaries. Short of length delivery that sits up micely, Hegde is on the front foot and pulls it to cow corner - splitting the two fielders in the deep

Naveen MG to Adhoksh Hegde, FOUR, sloppy. It was just a single and he concedes three extra. Fuller and close to off, Hegde biffs it to long-on and Bawane overran the ball and then had to get his hand across, the ball deflected into the rope

Suraj Kamath to Somanna, SIX, just cleared the fence. Length ball outside off, Somanna is not for using the long handle and he lofts this towards long-off, didn't get it off the meat and hence it just lobs over a leaping long-off fielder

Suraj Kamath to Adhoksh Hegde, FOUR, right through the gate. Full and around off, Hegde whips it with a strong bottom hand to mid-wicket and the fielder lets it go through his legs. Much needed boundary

Appanna to Rohit K, out Stumped!! The square leg umpire raised his finger in installments. Fourth wicket for Appanna. He's on fire. Slower through the air and turning just a wee bit, that is enough to beat Rohit's tentative prod forward after taking a step out, he does not bring his foot back in and the keeper removed the bails. Rohit K st KL Shrijith b Appanna 22(25) [4s-2 6s-1]

Cariappa to Adhoksh Hegde, FOUR, Adhoksh Hegde takes out the sweep shot, he comes inside the line of the ball to execute it and does well to beat short fine fielder

Naveen MG to Adhoksh Hegde, FOUR, walks to the off-side and attempts a pull shot from outside off. He was in an awkward position and top edges it over the keeper's head

Suraj Kamath to Rohit K, FOUR, boundary off the last ball spoils the over. It was a slower one at the pads, Rohit flicks it to the leg-side for a boundary

Naveen MG to Rohit K, SIX, this is a gorgeous shot. Clean strike from Rohit. It was a length delivery at the stumps, Rohit smashes it over long-on for half a dozen. It clears long-on with ease

Suraj Kamath to Aniruddha Joshi, out Caught by Kaunain Abbas!! This is ordinary cricket from Shivamogga Lions. They are already in a spot of bother and still they are playing shots. It was a short of length delivery, Aniruddha Joshi wanted to pull it to the leg-side. It got big on him, he got it off the lower half of the bat and Abbas takes a fine catch at cover. Cariappa comes in the way of Abbas only to move away at the last moment. Nice dodge that! Aniruddha Joshi c Kaunain Abbas b Suraj Kamath 2(4)

Appanna to Prithvi Varadadarajan, out Lbw!! Third wicket for Appanna. He is on fire! It was again that deadly arm-ball. It comes in quickly, Prithvi Varadadarajan was defeated by it. He misses the line of the ball and was trapped on the backfoot in front of the leg-stump. Prithvi Varadadarajan lbw b Appanna 2(4)

Bhavesh Gulecha to Rohit K, FOUR, lots of width on this delivery, Rohit cuts it uppishly over point for a boundary

Appanna to Sharath BR, out Bowled!! This is sensational bowling. Excellent variations from Appanna. This one came in with the arm, it skids off the deck too. Sharath was looking to cut, it was too close to cut. He was cramped for room and it smashes the stumps. Sharath BR b Appanna 23(13) [4s-4]

Appanna to Sharath BR, FOUR, goes down on his knees and slog sweeps it over deep backward square leg for a boundary

Appanna to Nihal Ullal, out Caught by Bhavesh Gulecha!! This is a stunner! Absolutely stunner! Mr. Rhodes would be proud of this. It was a short of length delivery outside off. Nihal Ullal cuts it wide of short third. Bhavesh makes the ground easily, flies in the air, stretches his right hand and takes a blinder. He will remember this for a long time. Nihal Ullal c Bhavesh Gulecha b Appanna 11(9) [6s-1]

Suraj Kamath to Sharath BR, FOUR, this is a clean strike. It was at the pads, Sharath gets in a good position and lifts it over deep square leg, couple of bounces and into the ropes

Suraj Kamath to Sharath BR, FOUR, half-volley outside off, four was written all over this nut. Sharath comes forward and drives it wide of cover for a four

Bhavesh Gulecha to Nihal Ullal, SIX, it was a short of length delivery and at a good height, Nihal gets in a good position and pulls it over deep square leg for half a dozen

Bhavesh Gulecha to Sharath BR, FOUR good start for Shivamogga. It was on a good length and well wide of off, Sharath makes full use of the width and cuts it wide of point for a boundary
