Incessant rain has been playing a spoilsport, especially for Mysuru Warriors, in this year’s KPL. With two out of three matches being washed away and having lost the other match, the Mysuru franchise has a tough task ahead in order to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, K.V. Siddharth justified Mysuru Warriors’ decision to bat first in the day’s second game with a blistering 49 not out to guide Amit Verma and Co to 82 for 1 in 11 overs against Belagavi Panthers before rain washed away their hopes of a maiden win. The teams ended with one point each.
Mysuru, who lost to Shivamogga Lions on Sunday, had witnessed an abandoned contest against Bengaluru Blasters in their opener. Having broken the trend of teams opting to bowl in the second game of the day due to rain, the Warriors got off to a flyer after losing D. Nischal early on. Zahoor Farooqui, the paceman, was the orchestrator of the first victim, but neither he nor the rest of the young bowling attack could do much against Siddharth under lights at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
