Milestone
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!

17:40 IST & Local Time| We might have a start time pretty soon as the groundsmen are trying their best to get the conditions ready. For sure, we will have a reduced game if the ground is ready.
17:10 IST & Local Time| Finally some positive signs as the covers are coming off. The two on-field umpires are having a discussion with the match referee as we will have a shortened game for sure. Super soppers are working in full tilt.
16:55 IST & Local Time| The rain has stopped and the two on-field umpires have made their way to the middle to have an inspection of the conditions. We continue to wait for a positive update. There is a massive roar from the small crowd that has come in and even they are shouting RCB, RCB!
16:40 IST and Local Time: The covers are firmly in place. No positive updates! Fingers are crossed for some good news!
15:50 IST & Local Time| Its pelting down at the moment in the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Overcast conditions have got really dark and we are in for a lengthy delay here.
15:20 IST & Local Time| Nothing positive to update folks as it is continuing to rain at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The covers are firmly in place and the wait continues.
15:00 IST & Local Time| The match officials along with the groundsmen walk off the field as it has got a bit more cloudy and it has started to rain.
14:48 IST & Local Time| Well Well Well. The live visuals show us that the covers are on at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. We might have a delay here while the groundsmen are doing their work. It was drizzling half an hour ago but it has stopped now.
Shubhang Hegde (Bengaluru Blasters): "It was a wonderful game for us. I enjoyed my time in the middle. It was an amazing experience. See, any game in the Maharaja Trophy is a pressure game.
To come in and complete such a huge run-chase was brilliant. I was glad to see the efforts from the practice provide the results in a match.
We finished at the bottom last year but are really happy to see ourselves on top. We were literally disappointed last season. We were just coming to every game with a lot of hope but failed to win.
We are expected to face Gulbarga Mystics in the semis and hopefully, we will find a way to win that contest."

Mayank Agarwal (Bengaluru Blasters Captain): "Oh I thought we had a very enjoyable game last night because it wasn't easy to chase down such a high total. We spoke a few things in the meeting and we have to start fresh in this encounter.
The boys look fresh and are confident for this game as well. We have a couple of changes in our XI as there is some bug going around."

Shreyas Gopal (Mangaluru Dragons Captain): "We are going to bowl first. The last couple of games have had a similar thinking. We wanted to win at least a game. This is our last opportunity this season. We want to win this and finish on a high.
Every athlete has had such a season. These things teach you more. These things teach you more than when you win. We will come back stronger in the next season.
Yes, we have a couple of changes."
