The eighth edition of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL) is all set to get underway on August 16. A total of seven teams will fight it out for the glory as the Bijapur Bulls will look to defend their title. A total of 25 T20 matches will be played and the final is scheduled to take place on August 31. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli were supposed to host the whole tournament but the organisers had to reconsider the venues due to the forecast of consistent rain in Hubli.
