Easwaran K to Hari Nishaanth, FOUR! Magnificent start by Hari Nishaanth. It is a short ball, outside off. Hari Nishaanth gets on top of it and punches it gently through point for a cracking boundary.

Easwaran K to Suresh Lokeshwar, FOUR! Nicely played. Siechem Madurai Panthers start this run chase on a positive note here. It is a length ball, on the pads. Suresh Lokeshwar flicks it over mid-wicket. A couple of bounces and the ball goes into the ropes.

Saravana Kumar to Hari Nishaanth, FOUR! Cracking shot. Saravana Kumar pitches it up, wide outside off. Hari Nishaanth opens the face of the bat and crunches it to the right of deep backward point for a boundary. The fielder in the deep just could not put his hand in to stop the boundary.

1.3
Saravana Kumar to Suresh Lokeshwar, OUT! CAUGHT! Saravana Kumar draws the first blood here. Smiles on the faces of the Trichy players. It is a short ball, on off. Suresh Lokeshwar stands back and goes for the pull shot this time. He wants to continue with his aggression because it is needed while chasing a huge total. The ball though catches the top edge and flies towards mid on. Antony Dhas settles under it and takes a sharp catch. Jagatheesan Kousik walks in at number 3 for Siechem Madurai Panthers.

Saravana Kumar to Hari Nishaanth, FOUR! Hari Nishaanth goes strong from his end. It is a short ball, on the bodyline. Hari Nishaanth lifts up his front leg, swivels and guides it through the gap at short fine and finds a boundary.

V Athisayaraj Davidson to Jagatheesan Kousik, OUT! CAUGHT! Easwaran K shows off his fielding skills here as he takes a spectacular catch. V Athisayaraj Davidson finds a breakthrough in his very first over. It is a short ball, on the body as well. Jagatheesan Kousik swivels and goes for the pull shot here. The ball pops up off the outer half and flies towards short fine. Easwaran K there shuffles to his left, and makes a last-second dive to his left, to get two hands on the ball and continue the celebrations of that recent wicket.

3.3
Saravana Kumar to N Sarangarajan Chaturved, FOUR! N Sarangarajan Chaturved making his intent clear here. It is a length ball, around middle and leg. N Sarangarajan Chaturved uses the depth of the crease and flicks it over mid on. The ball rolls away into the ropes.

V Athisayaraj Davidson to Hari Nishaanth, FOUR! Pressure instantly on V Athisayaraj Davidson in his second over. It is a length ball, around off. Hari Nishaanth stands tall and pulls it powerfully through mid-wicket for a fine boundary.

V Athisayaraj Davidson to N Sarangarajan Chaturved, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust here for Siechem Madurai Panthers. It is a low full toss here, but Chaturved is unable to punish it. He ends up chipping it towards mid off, as the ball flies off the toe end. Sanjay Yadav holds on to it and V Athisayaraj Davidson manages to end another over on a high here.

Sanjay Yadav to Akram Khan, SIX! WHACK! What a way to start your TNPL career. No fear whatsoever. Length ball, outside off, Akram Khan lunges and just swings the ball without any fuss, cleanly over long on!

Kannan Vignesh to Hari Nishaanth, SIX! The ball goes up and Hari Nishaanth goes down. Great shot, but it seems like cramps for the batter. Half tracker, on middle, Nishaanth swung it cleanly over mid-wicket. The moment he played that shot, he went down on his back.

Sanjay Yadav to Akram Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! Sanjay Yadav strikes now. Slower through the air, giving it more flight, outside off, Akram Khan was probably looking for one with more pace. This one had plenty of revolutions while Akram lacked plenty of patience. He goes early into the swing and skies it high in the air. Cool catch taken by Ravi Rajkumar at long off. Akram Khan departs for 11 (12), Madurai are 71/4 and need another 123 from 73 balls.

8.5
Antony Dhas to Swapnil Singh, FOUR! Cannot say supremely played but he did manage to get on top of the bounce. A short ball, outside off, Swapnil Singh looked to pull, was troubled by the height but still managed to get good wood on it to beat deep mid-wicket to his left. Let's put it this way - that was more because of the quality of the bat, than the quality of the shot.

Sanjay Yadav to Hari Nishaanth, OUT! CAUGHT! This is why Sanjay Yadav is continuing. For wickets. Choice of words in life and choice of shots in cricket can make a big difference. Full, on middle, Hari Nishaanth suddenly unfurls the reverse sweep but is not in control of it at all. Gets a top edge which lobs tamely to Easwaran K at short third. Was that shot needed? Plenty of time to contemplate in the dressing room. Hari Nishaanth departs for 39 (20), Siechem Madurai Panthers are 84/5 and need 110 from 65 balls. Uthirasamy Sasidev walks in next.

Sanjay Yadav to Uthirasamy Sasidev, DROPPED, FOUR! Average fielding by Trichy in the last few minutes. Full and wide outside off, Sasidev reaches out and plays the slog sweep. He connects well but finds the fielder running across to his right from deep square leg. Should have ben taken but no, the ball goes in and pops out. Worse, it goes beyond as well, for a boundary.

12.3
Antony Dhas to Uthirasamy Sasidev, FOUR! A much-needed boundary here for Siechem Madurai Panthers. It is a half volley outside off. Uthirasamy Sasidev leans into it and creams it through covers for a fine boundary.

13.2
Ravi Rajkumar to Uthirasamy Sasidev, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravi Rajkumar comes up with a huge wicket here. The pressure was on this pair since a long time and Uthirasamy Sasidev just ends up giving in. Ravi Rajkumar pitches it up, outside off. Uthirasamy Sasidev comes down the track, throws his bat at it and ends up slicing it towards backward point. The fielder, Nirmal Kumar from inside the circle backtracks and takes a sharp catch. The dropped catch does not count for much then. Sasidev was dropped on 0, is caught for 17. Siechem Madurai Panthers are 117/6 and need another 77 from 40 balls.

Sanjay Yadav to Swapnil Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! Sanjay Yadav picks up his third wicket of the night and gets rid of the final recognised batter here. It is tossed up, full and on off. Swapnil Singh tries to up the ante here as all the pressure is on his shoulders. He ends up getting under the ball, and smacking it downtown, but fails to get the distance on it. The substitute fielder P Francis Rokins takes a sharp catch near the ropes at long on to see the back of Swapnil Singh.

15.1
Ravi Rajkumar to Murugan Ashwin, OUT! Edged and taken! Number 8 goes as well. Madurai are crumbling like a pack of cards here. On a length, outside off, Murugan Ashwin pushes at it away from his body and gets a thick outside edge. Regulation catch for Waseem Ahmed. No heroics from Ashwin tonight.

15.4
Ravi Rajkumar to P Saravanan, OUT! Straight down the throat. A length ball, around off, P Saravanan swings hard and looks like he has connected it well. But he is defeated by the off cutter as he finds Sanjay Yadav at wide long on. Third wicket for Ravi Rajkumar.

Easwaran K to Gurjapneet Singh, OUT! Caught behind! TRICHY END THEIR 9-GAME WINLESS RUT! And it has been ended by some dominant fashion. On a good length, outside off, Gurjapneet Singh swings hard but can only get a thick outside edge behind, which is snaffled by Waseem Ahmed. TRICHY GRAND CHOLAS WIN BY 67 RUNS!
