Live Cricket Score of Mysuru Warriors vs Mangalore United, 5th Match at Hubli

Defending champions Mysuru Warriors, led by Manish Pandey, will look to put their shock defeat to first-timers Namma Shivamogga behind and get their KPL 2015 season started with a win over Rohit Sabahrwal's Mangalore United on Saturday. Mangalore United too, have had a false start, losing to Belgavi Panthers on the opening day of the 2015 season.

All eyes on Pandey and Karun Nair - the latest India recruit from Bangalore. Both sides are packed with big-hitters, but it is the bowling unit that has put the wrong foot forward. Jagadesha Suchith, who was part of IPL 2015-winning squad of Mumbai Indians, had a poor start for Mysuru while Ronit More, a Chennai Super Kings player in the IPL, started off with an expensive spell.

Mysuru Warriors skipper Manish Pandey wins the toss and opts to bowl first against Mangalore United. Pandey hopes to restricts the Mangalore United to a score around 125-130. Highly optimistic but surely not impossible. Game on!

A 19-ball 25 is all Rohan Kadam could manage after a stroke-filled start. Important breakthrough as Kadam was starting to look dangerous. Left-handed Shishir Bhavane joins Nair who has moved into the 30s. Mangalore 56/1 in 6.5 overs.

Karun Nair's platform-setting 67, Shishir Bhavane's consolidating 40 and Bhareth NP's 18-ball 46 powered Mangalore to 191/4. Manish Pandey had hoped to restrict Mangalore to 120-130, but they've managed much better! Can Pandey inspire a solid response?A thrilling chase on the cards.
