Hubli Tigers vs Shivamogga Strikers, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Somanna to Darshan MB, SIX, hat-trick of sixes to finish the innings. Darshan has played a gem here. Once again Somanna errs by providing space outside off, Darshan goes over extra cover this time and the ball pings off the meat to clear the fence comfortably

Somanna to Darshan MB, SIX, another six. The 150 comes up. This is clean striking of the cricket ball. Knuckle ball on the shorter side and Darshan picked the bones out of that, cleared his front leg and heaved it over deep mid-wicket

Somanna to Darshan MB, SIX, wow! That is the biggest six of the night. Plenty of width outside off and Darshan swings through the line, nice clean swing of the blade and the long-off fielder sees it sailing over his head

Somanna to Praveen Dubey, out Caught by Liyan Khan!! Another batsman departs trying to up the ante. Dubey has done a fine job. Another one of those knuckle balls and Dubey certainly did not pick it as he went for the big hit down the ground, gets more air time than distance, Liyan settles under it and pouches it. Praveen Dubey c Liyan Khan b Somanna 43(32) [4s-1 6s-2]

K Hoysala to Kranthi Kumar, out Caught by Jonathan R!! Kranthi has his second. The cross-seam delivery banged into the surface, Kranthi picked the length and went for a flat-batted hit to long-on, did not get the elevation to clear Jonathan. Kranthi Kumar c Jonathan R b K Hoysala 2(3)

Abilash Shetty to Praveen Dubey, SIX, runs are coming thick and fast for the Tigers. Slower delivery right in the slot, Dubey picked it early and deposited it over extra cover. The timing was such that it went all the way

Abilash Shetty to Praveen Dubey, no ball, SIX, oh! Big no-ball from Shetty and to add salt into the wounds the ball flies over the rope. Short delivery and Dubey goes for the pull, the top-edge flies over the keeper and just about manages to clear the rope

K Hoysala to Vinay Kumar, out Caught by Prithvi Shekawat!! Rippah! Lions can breathe a sigh of relief. It is the dangerous Vinay who walks back after a quick cameo. Full and outside off, Vinay was made to reach out this time and he sliced it into the night sky, over backward point and Prithvi turns around, runs back and takes it over his right shoulder. Seemed like the ball got stuck near his shoulder and he made sure he clasped it with his hands. The best catch of the tournament so far. Vinay Kumar c Prithvi Shekawat b K Hoysala 35(13) [6s-5]

K Hoysala to Vinay Kumar, SIX, improvisation at its best. Shuffled across his stumps and Hoysala dishes out a juicy full toss, ramps it away flat and over fine leg, for his fifth six. He's playing a blinder

K Hoysala to Vinay Kumar, SIX, jeez! That was a short-arm flick and it has cleared the long square boundary comfortably. Walks down and takes it on the full, then the strong forearms take over to whip it over deep square leg

Aniruddha Joshi to Vinay Kumar, SIX, repeat of the previous shot. Vinay is on a fire. Hat-trick of sixes for him. Once again goes down to get underneath the ball and then the clean bat swing takes it over cow corner

Aniruddha Joshi to Vinay Kumar, SIX, back to back sixes for the skipper. They need to get a move on and Vinay is doing just that. Went down on his knee and slog swept it over deep mid-wicket. Just cleared the fielder

Kishore Kamat to Vinay Kumar, SIX, wow! What timing. It was a full toss alright and Vinay just chipped it over long-off. Nothing extravagant with the shot, extended the forward loft and cleared the rope quite comfortably

Prithvi Shekawat to SK Jain, out Caught by Adhoksh Hegde!! Shekawat has his second. The set batsman departs. Flighted around off, Jain comes down the track and looks to heave it towards cow corner, does not get the elevation or the distance to beat deep mid-wicket. Well held by Hegde. SK Jain c Adhoksh Hegde b Prithvi Shekawat 23(33) [4s-1]

Prithvi Shekawat to Praveen Dubey, FOUR, lovely shot! Flighted on middle and leg, Dubey goes inside out over extra cover. Relied on timing and bisected the field precisely

Prithvi Shekawat to Bhille, out Stumped!! This was coming. They had steadied the innings and it was time to up the ante. Bhille went for the big hit and is caught well short of the crease. Shekawat slowed it down as he saw Bhille charge down the wicket, deceived in pace and an easy stumping for Sharath. Bhille st Sharath BR b Prithvi Shekawat 15(17) [4s-1]

K Hoysala to SK Jain, FOUR, streaky! But Jain will take that. Charges down and swings across the line, the angle from Hoysala takes the outside edge and flies over the slip fielder

K Hoysala to Bhille, FOUR, overpitched and Bhille ensures it is put away. Not a big stride forward but the hands flowed into the drive, creamed it past the diving cover fielder and collected four

Aniruddha Joshi to Sujit N Gowda, out Lbw!! The finger went up in a flash. It was a touch and go call and it has gone in favour of the Lions. Angled across the right-hander, Gowda shuffles and misses the nurdle to the on-side, struck around off and not sure if the ball would have gone on to hit the off-stump. Replays show it pitched outside leg too. Nonetheless, Lions have two early wickets. Sujit N Gowda lbw b Aniruddha Joshi 3(10)

Somanna to Abhishek Reddy, out Caught by Kishore Kamat!! Lions have their first. Somanna does a cartwheel. The celebrations in this edition have been eye-catching. Huge wicket this as Reddy was the key for Hubli, especially in the absence of Taha. Nothing but a full delivery and Reddy does not bother to keep the drive down the ground, struck it straight to extra cover. Abhishek Reddy c Kishore Kamat b Somanna 13(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Somanna to Abhishek Reddy, FOUR, one good shot and Somanna has resorted to a slower delivery, pitched up and Reddy read it early, drilled it hard and to the left of Somanna, no chance for mid-off

Somanna to Abhishek Reddy, SIX, shot! First six of the evening. Reddy picked the bones out of that one. Back of a length just outside off, Reddy shuffles to get behind the line and thumps it with a straight bat over long-on
