Gulbarga Mystics rode on Devdutt Padikkal's belligerent knock to storm into the finals of the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2022 following their six wickets win over Mysore Warriors in the Qualifier 2 on Thursday, August 25 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Chasing 158 to secure a spot in the summit clash alongside Bengaluru Blasters, Gulbarga reached their target with two balls to spare in the second qualifier.
The Rajasthan Royals opener Devdutt Padikkal was at his destructive best as he went to stack a devastating 64-ball unbeaten 96 studded with 8 fours and 5 humongous sixes to take his side home single-handedly.
Manoj S Bhandage played second fiddle to Padikkal and remained unbeaten for a 23-ball 35. For Mysore, Pavan Deshpande took two wickets followed by Vidyadhar Patil and Monish Reddy, who bagged a brace each.
