Bangalore blasters

Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Bangalore Blasters beat their closest rivals on the points table, Coastal Kings Mangaluru, by eight runs (VJD method) in the second fixture of the day in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 in Hubballi on Monday.

After rain-induced stoppages, the Blasters were set a revised target of 109 in 11 overs, the original target of 180/6 in 20 overs.

Having moved to 28 for no loss in three overs before the match was halted due to more rain, the Blasters clearly knew what was needed of them, and they used that vital knowledge fully to clinch a clinical victory late into the night. When the match was finally stopped again with the Blasters at 68-0 in seven overs, they were well ahead of the par score of 60.
