K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Hari Nishaanth, OUT! LBW! What a start for Lyca Kovai Kings and K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan. On a length and on middle, Hari Nishaanth tries to flick it but gets beaten on the inward movement as the ball hits his pads. An appeal and the finger is up straightaway. He refers. Fair delivery and Ultra Edge show no spike when the ball passes the bat. Onto to next. Ball Tracking shows three reds and Hari Nishaanth has to depart. A waste of a review, as that was plumb. Siechem Madurai Panthers lose their skipper in the very first over. He departs on a duck - 0 (3).

M. Siddharth to Suresh Lokeshwar, OUT! LBW! Some turn and bounce, on middle. Suresh Lokeshwar gets low to play a slog sweep but misses as the ball hits his pads. A huge appeal and the finger goes up. It indeed looks plumb but Suresh Lokeshwar goes upstairs to have a look. Ultra Edge shows no spike and Ball Tracking shows that it was just clipping the bails and we have to go with the umpire call of OUT! Review retained though as it was an umpire's call. Lyca Kovai Kings are right on the top and have exerted pressure over Madurai early on. N Sarangarajan Chaturved is the next batter in for Madurai.

M. Siddharth to N Sarangarajan Chaturved, OUT! STUMPED! Bowls it slower through the air and tempts the batter. N Sarangarajan Chaturved dances down the track but fails to reach the pitch of the delivery. It also turns away from him after landing and beats the bat of the N Sarangarajan Chaturved who tries to work it to the on side. Suresh Kumar behind the sticks does the rest. Collects the ball cleanly and whips the bails in a flash. This has been a tremendous bowling display from Lyca Kovai Kings. They know they are defending a below-par total and they have come out all guns blazing with the ball. M. Siddharth continues to impress and Kovai further presses their opposition. N Sarangarajan Chaturved departs on 10 (10).

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Sri Abisek, OUT! CAUGHT! That's a good catch by M. Siddharth at backward point. On a length and outside off, Sri Abisek looks to slap it over the inner ring but mistimes his stroke. The ball goes off the toe end of his bat, flat and straight towards backward point. M. Siddharth moves to his right from the mentioned position and takes a good tumbling catch. Another one bites the dust and Siechem Madurai Panthers continue to crumble. Sri Abisek departs on 1 (3). We can see disappointed faces in the Madurai camp as this is a must-win game for them.

Shahrukh Khan to Uthirasamy Sasidev, OUT! TAKEN! That's a brilliant catch. The fifth wicket goes down for Siechem Madurai Panthers and they are in all sorts of trouble now. Full, on off, Uthirasamy Sasidev gets low and looks to slog it but gets a top edge. The ball carries towards deep mid-wicket. Sai Sudharsan moves forward and takes a good catch diving forward. Sasidev departs on 2 (7). To be fair, this chase is going nowhere for the Siechem Madurai Panthers. They are 42/5 after 7 overs.

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Murugan Ashwin, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Shahrukh Khan won't drop those. One more perishes and Lyca Kovai Kings exert more dominance in this game. K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan cannons in a fuller-length delivery, aiming the pegs, Murugan Ashwin is hurried into the shot. He clears his front foot to access the off side but is months late in the shot. Hence, he slices the ball high in the night sky. The ball hangs up for an eternity and travels over the bowler's run up marks. Shahrukh Khan from mid off moves to his right, locks the eyes on the ball swirling down. Takes a superb catch.

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan takes a good low catch to his right on his followthrough.

Jhatavedh Subramanyan to R Mithun, FOUR! That's an ordinary effort from K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan in the field! Full, turning away from off, R Mithun gets a thickish outside edge as he strides ahead. The ball guns towards short third where Kannan overruns to his left and the ball sneaks through the gap between his legs. It races away to the fence for a boundary.

Shahrukh Khan to R Mithun, OUT! RUN OUT! Shahrukh drops this full and turning into the middle and leg, Karthick slogs it away towards deep square leg and calls for 'two'. Although, he runs the first one casually. The fielder in the deep collects it quickly and throws towards the keeper's end. Seeing a good flat throw, Karthick hurries but gets too late to reach in time and is compelled to put in a dive. The keeper gets a good bounce, collects nicely and whips the bails off in time. The TV replay shows the same. Karthick is short of his crease and even the dive couldn't save him.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Karthick Manikandan, SIX! THIS IS A FANTASTIC STROKE! Valliappan Yudheeswaran stays around the stumps, bowls it on a length, and angles it on the middle, Karthick Manikandan moves to his left and stays leg side of the ball. Times the ball well, and hits it over the bowler's head for a six. 100 up for Siechem Madurai Panthers.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Karthick Manikandan, FOUR! Again, straight down the ground but a boundary this time! Valliappan Yudheeswaran slants it across off and lands a juicy half-volley, Karthick Manikandan clears his front leg and thumps down the ground over the bowler's head. The ball lands near the long on region and goes into the fence on a couple of bounces. Sai Sudharsan chases it from mid on but the ball eventually wins the race.

M Mohammed to Ajay Krishna, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! M Mohammed celebrates! Ajay Krishna rolls his fingers on the leather and takes all the pace off from it. Lands it full and around off, Ajay Krishna is clearly beaten by the lack of pace and slices the ball up in the air towards long off. He gets the height but fails to generate the distance. The ball carries straight towards Shahrukh Khan patrolling the long off boundary. He takes the simplest of the catches. Siechem Madurai Panthers are 8 down now. Ajay Krishna departs on 2 (6).

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Karthick Manikandan, FOUR! He has played a good little inning here! No doubt his team is heading to a defeat, but Karthick Manikandan has been impressive with the bat.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Karthick Manikandan, FOUR! Shot! Valliappan Yudheeswaran bowls an overpitched delivery outside off, Karthick Manikandan stands deep inside the crease, and slices it out towards the vacant deep backward point region for another boundary.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Karthick Manikandan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Lyca Kovai Kings, the defending champions have successfully defended a below-par total and have registered their 5th win of the season with a comprehensive bowling display. Valliappan Yudheeswaran continues from around the wickets and angles it across, outside off, Karthick Manikandan throws the kitchen sink at it and swooshes hard with all his might. But only manages to get a thick outside edge. Suresh Kumar does the rest behind the wickets taking a simple regulation catch. Lyca Kovai Kings beat the Siechem Madurai Panthers by a convincing margin of 43 runs.
