11:30 PM IST, Local Time: What a performance we witnessed from Bengaluru Blasters today. Sheer domination. They will now play in the Qualifier 2 game against Mangaluru.
That's it from our side. This is me, Mohammad Anab, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Arjun Bhalla and Deepak Prakash along with our scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Join us tomorrow for the live ball-by-ball coverage of the Qualifier 2 game of Maharaja Trophy. Cheers!
Mayank Agarwal (Bengaluru Blasters Captain): "I think the attitude has been really good. After losing two games, we came back strongly. The vibe has been brilliant in the dressing room. Heading into the dressing room, we will gather the knowledge and discuss the good things we did today. We need to be humble and respect the game, but we will surely try to get over the line this time. I am still under the weather, I am trying be careful."

Suraj Ahuja (Bengaluru Blasters): "Thanks. It is a great feeling to be a part of the winning Playing XI. I just wanted to attack the spinners, and it paid off.
