Hubli Tigers continued to build on to their first win in the tournament by beating Shivamogga Lions to make it two in two. They'll are set to meet Bellary Tuskers on 22nd August, who have now lost both their games and are desperate for a win. It's not a long tournament unlike Indian Premier League or Vitality T20 Blast and every point is of huge significance. A win here for Hubli will put them in a position of great strength and on the contrary, a loss for Bellary Tuskers would further diminish their chances of qualification.
The Tigers continued to march ahead in the tournament as they registered a 25-runs win against Shivamogga Lions. Batting first, the Tigers did well to get to 160, especially after a sluggish start. R Vinay Kumar and Praveen Dubey provided much-needed impetus towards the end taking their total to a competitive score.
Vinay Kumar's 35 off just 13 deliveries proved to be the difference between a 140-ish score and 160 which eventually was the turning point of the match.
Similar to their win in the first match, bowlers did a fantastic job in keeping the opponents at bay. Mahesh Patel was once again excellent with the ball and he returned with the impressive figures of 4-0-19-2. MB Darshan and Kranthi Kumar, too, contributed with a couple of wickets each to keep Shivamogga Lions 25 runs away from what they had scored.

Bellary Tuskers lost from a position of strength in their first match as Bengaluru Blasters pipped them in a tense game. From being favorites at the halfway through the first innings, they slowly allowed the match to slip through as their batsmen failed to chase down 167.
While their bowling was pretty good against the Blasters, it failed to produce the goods while defending a subpar total. Their middle order failed to add anything to the brilliant start provided by Rohan Kadam and Devdutt Padikkal. The Tuskers were at 117 for 2 after 14.2 overs and they lost six wickets in the last 5.4 overs scoring just 28 runs in the process.
It was always going to be difficult to defend such a low total, regardless of how good a bowling attack they had. Abrar Kazi and SL Akshay bowled well, but it was too much of a task for other bowlers as everyone else failed to pick wickets. The Warriors eventually chased downed the target with seven balls and seven wickets in hand.
Starting lineup not yet available.
After losing their first two games, Bellary Tuskers will be desperate for a win here to stay in the competition. Their opponents, the Tigers, are in excellent form with both bat and ball. An inspiring performance by their skipper reignited the spark in them which was missing in the first match they played. Considering the form and teams on paper, we expect Hubli Tigers to post yet another win and strengthen their playoff chances.
