Electing to bowl first, Hegde\u2019s (3\/7) three-wicket haul and Mohsin Khan\u2019s (2-5) one-over spell held the Lions to 62\/6 after Nihal Ullal had given the Lions a promising start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Bengaluru Blasters\u2019 chase was off to a flyer with the in-form Chethan LR clubbing Vidwath Kaverappa for two sixes and a four in the very first over. Vasuki Koushik scalped Chethan in the second over while Anand Doddamani (impact player) removed opener Rohan Patil to leave the Blasters at 31\/2 in 2.3 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mayank Agarawal (18 not out off 10) took down Hardik Raj for a six and a four, while Shubhang Hegde (14 not out off 4) thumped two consecutive sixes in the same over to score 23 runs and blunt the run chase. The pair remained unbeaten and steered the Blasters home in 4.2 overs to complete their second consecutive victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, skipper Nihal Ullal (31 off 12) gave the Lions a rollicking start, launching two sixes and a four off Vidyadhar Patil in the very first over. Ullal continued to pile on the boundaries while Blasters\u2019 captain, Shubhang Hegde, accounted for the opener, Aneeshwar Gautam (1), in the third over that only saw four runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
