Karnataka Premier League (KPL) 2019: Full list of Award Winners, Total Prize Money, list of all 8 champions

Bengaluru, Sep 1: Hubli Tigers defeated Ballari Tuskers by 8 runs to be crowned champions in the eighth edition of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL) at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium in Mysuru on Saturday (August 31).

Vinay Kumar-led Tigers plugged away despite putting up only 152 for 6 in 20 overs. Tuskers got back into it after a shaky start through Devdutt Padikkal (68) and CM Gautam (29), but the Tigers rallied on crowd support to restrict the former champions to 144 all out in 20 overs, securing an 8-run win.

Padikkal was at his belligerent best on the night, scoring a smashing 68 runs from 48 balls, but his effort went in vain. Abhilash Shetty (3/34) and Aditya Somanna (3/24) were the architects of this victory as the pacers picked up three wickets each in Tigers' maiden triumph.

The tournament, organised by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), started in 2009.
