It was a dismal end to the season for Mangaluru Dragons as they won only one fixture in the entire tournament to finish bottom. But they will be happy to gain one point from their last league match.
On the flip side, Bengaluru Blasters will face Gulbarga Mystics in semi final 1 on Friday (August 30) that is tomorrow.
We still have plenty of cricketing action on our network. Stay tuned. For now, its me, AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Pritam Dey and scorer/analyst Ghanendra Singh Thakur, who brought you all the live updates of this rain washout. We will meet again. Until then, its cheers!
