Right then, that is it from this humdinger of a game. Nellai have made it to the finals. They will now face Kovai on Wednesday, the 12th of July. The game will begin at 7.15 pm IST (1.45 pm GMT). But as you know, our build-up begins much sooner so do join us for the same. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Ajitesh G is the player of the match for his unbeaten 72-run knock.
Earlier in the match, it was Shivam Singh who played an excellent knock of 76 runs and made his side reach a good total. He was well supported by Boopathi Kumar as he scored a quickfire 41 runs knock. Sonu Yadav picked up two wickets whilst Sandeep Warrier, M Poiyamozhi and S Lakshay Jain have one in their bank.
A massive heartbreak for Dindigul as they had the game in their hands till the 18th over. G Kishoor's 19th over went on for 33 runs which turned the tables completely. Overall, the bowlers had a hard time to bowl here. Varun Chakaravarthy and Aushik Srinivas managed to pick a wicket each for Dindigul. The other bowlers went wicketless.
Wow! What a game! NELLAI HAVE MADE IT TO THE FINALS! The momentum of the game swung from one corner to another and in the end, Nellai have clinched an amazing victory. The game came down to the very last delivery and Rithik Easwaran finished off things in style. Don't forget that Nellai scored 33 runs off the penultimate over which changed the tide of the game completely. Rithik Easwaran scored a quickfire 39 off 11 and Ajitesh G was the anchor for Nellai who scored 73 off 44 deliveries.
