T Natarajan to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Handsomely driven! T Natarajan misses his length, offers a friendly half-volley on off, Ravichandran Ashwin weighs on the front foot and crisply drives it straight, beating the mid off fielder for a boundary. 7 runs from the first over.

T Natarajan to Vimal Khumar, FOUR! Straight down the ground, couple of bounces and into the fence! Natarajan bowls on that in-between length, on the middle stump, Vimal Khumar simply lofts it over the bowler's head. The ball lands between the long on and long off region for a boundary. A long chase for the fielders but the ball dribbles and breaches the fence.

S Ajith Ram to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Innovative and effective! Full, angling on the leg stump line, Ravichandran Ashwin premeditates it, switch hits and plays it over point for a boundary.

S Ajith Ram to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Another one! S Ajith Ram offers it right underneath the bat, full and outside off, Ravichandran Ashwin skips down and picks it over mid on for a boundary.

S Ajith Ram to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Easy pickings! Short and on the middle, Ravichandran Ashwin transfers his weight on the back foot as he gets a good bounce. Lofts it over the in-field over mid on for another boundary. Third boundary of the over so far.

Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, SIX! First six of the chase and Ravichandran Ashwin has been very productive in the 'V' area! Sai Kishore loops it full and on leg, Ravichandran Ashwin clears his front leg and thumps it behind long on for a six.

Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! In the gap! Sai Kishore fractionally drags his length, on the middle, Ravichandran Ashwin rocks back, anticipates the length perfectly and cuts it through covers for a boundary.

Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Absolute mayhem from Dindigul Dragons' skipper! Full in length, on the stumps, Ravichandran Ashwin employs the reverse sweep and hits it over backward point for a boundary.

S Ajith Ram to Vimal Khumar, SIX? Definitely not a catch but is it also a six, yes it is! Length ball outside off, Vimal Khumar goes across to the off side, sits down and slogs it away towards deep mid-wicket. S Mohamed Ali paddles back and gets his hands over his head to grab the ball with both hands but fails to keep his balance. The back leg is in contact with the rope when the ball is in hand and it will be six more runs.

S Mohamed Ali to Vimal Khumar, SIX! That is a huge hit! Tossed up right in the slot around off, Vimal Khumar goes down on one knee, gets under the ball and whacks it a long way back over the bowler's head for a biggie.

Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Probably the first conventional sweep that Ravichandran Ashwin has employed in this game and he has nailed it as well. Floated up outside off stump, Ashwin strides across to the off side and gets inside the line before hammering the sweep shot behind square leg for a boundary.

7.5
Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Ravichandran Ashwin isn't going to miss the reverse sweep twice in a row, not in this game! Floated up on off stump, Ashwin gets inside the line of the ball and nails the reverse sweep well wide of short third and picks up yet another boundary. Ashwin has dominated Sai Kishore in this inning.

7.6
Sai Kishore to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! The first time was so nice, Ashwin simply had to do it twice! Full again and around off stump, Ravichandran Ashwin brings out another reverse sweep and manages to hit it through backward point and into the vacant fence for yet another boundary.

P Bhuvaneswaran to Vimal Khumar, OUT! CAUGHT! P Bhuvaneswaran does get the first breakthrough for his team and one has to wonder, why was he not used to the new ball as he generally is. This one is floated up full and outside off, slanting across, Vimal Khumar stays leg side of the ball and throws his hands at it but ends up slicing the ball towards point. Maan Bafna hops and picks up the catch and the slower ball has done the trick here for the bowler.

P Bhuvaneswaran to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Ravichandran Ashwin gets to FIFTY in style and he makes it twin half centuries in two knockout games, what a performance from the skipper. Banged in halfway down the pitch and over middle, no bite on this one though, Ashwin climbs on top of the bounce and pulls it firmly in front of square for a boundary.

Ramalingam Rohit to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Ravichandran Ashwin is in a real hurry to finish off the game, just 16 required now. Pitched up on the stumps, Ashwin goes deep in the crease, allowing himself to get under the ball and just chips it over mid off to pick up four more runs.

P Bhuvaneswaran to Ravichandran Ashwin, SIX! Picked up and dispatched! A nothing ball really as this is bowled slower and shorter on the stumps, sitting up nicely for the batter. Ravichandran Ashwin waits on the back foot and whacks it up and away over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

10.5
P Bhuvaneswaran to Ravichandran Ashwin, SIX MORE! Ravichandran Ashwin finishes things off in style and DINDIGUL DRAGONS ARE INTO THE FINAL! Another slower one, banged in short over off stump, Ashwin looks to pull off the front foot but is early in the shot and yet manages to flat-bat it well over long on for another biggie. Dindigul Dragons win Qualifier 2 by 9 wickets and Ashwin remains unbeaten on 69!
