Last Updated 03 September 2015, 19:30 IST

 An unbeaten 49-run knock from all-rounder Shreyas Gopal helped new entrants Namma Shivamogga defeat defending champions Mysuru Warriors by six wickets here in their Karbonn Smart KPL IV encounter on Thursday.

Batting first, the Warriors rode on fine knocks from Arjun Hoysala (44) and Manjesh Reddy (45) to post 160/6 in the stipulated 20 overs.

In response, Shreyas anchored Shivamogga’s chase and saw his team reach the target with four balls to spare. Sadiq Kirmani (29) and Kaunian Abbas (26) also chipped in for the winners. 

Asked to bat, openers Hoy­s­a­la and skipper Manish Pandey stitched 56 runs together before the latter was dismissed by Sinan Khadir for 26. 

Hoysala then found an able partner in Manjesh as the duo smashed 39 runs in the next fours to keep a healthy run rate. 

Shivamogga then fought back to remove the settled batsmen but a cameo from K Gowtham (26 n.o., 11b) helped the Warriors post 160.

Shivamogga openers – Sadiq Kirmani (29) and Abrar Kazi (21) began aggressively, forging an alliance of 44 runs in the first five overs. In the 11th over, leg-spinner G Shantaraju removed Sadiq and Abbas in the space of three deliveries to spin the match in favour of Warriors.

Shreyas, who walked in at 83/3, then played a match-winning innings, which came off 30 balls (7x4, 1x6).
