Pavan Deshpande turned up the style, scoring a strokeful half-century for Mysore Warriors, before Aditya Goyal and Shreyas Gopal helped restrict Bengaluru Blasters to 165/8. That saw the Warriors clinch a 6-run win in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Cricket Tournament at SDNR Wadiyar Stadium yesterday.
Batting first, Mysore Warriors lost skipper Karun Nair for 1, but that hardly set them back as Nihal Ullal and Pavan Deshpande got their act going. A 59-run stand between them gave the Warriors some breathing space before Nihal was gone for 23. Deshpande completed 50 with a six over midwicket in the 12th over. Later, Deshpande was caught ball-watching, and was run out for 55, having hit 7 fours and 2 sixes in his 36-ball knock.
