That's all we have from the commentary box. It's Arya Sekhar Chakraborty signing off on the behalf of my co-commentators Anurag Singh and Mohamed Farzan. Good night.
C Hari Nishaanth, Captain Dindigul Dragons and Man of the Match- Good toss to win and the bowlers were brilliant in the powerplay. In the death overs, bowlers came back very well. 144 is a tricky score to chase, my plan was to bat till the end. Day after we have a game, we have to forget this and concentrate on that. But a well-deserved win. We were waiting to attack the fifth and sixth bowler and I and R Vivek decided to attack.
Gurjapneet Singh is the Most Valuable Asset of the Match.
Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Suhail Chandok.
Shahrukh Khan, Lyca Kovai Kings skipper- Very disappointed, we had a lots of ups and downs though. We had a young team and there have been plenty of positives this season. The toss was crucial and it was a bad one to lose. The ball was stopping in the first innings and then the dew came in the second. Sai Sudharshan is one of the best emerging talents for us. As for myself and my captaincy, this was a good learning curve.
Arya: The run-chase was largely built around two special knocks from Hari Nishaanth and R Vivek. The partnership of 85 runs of 44 deliveries turned the scales totally in favour of the Dragons and eventually it proved to be a cakewalk for the chasing team. While Hari Nishaanth smashed a 44 balls 59, R Vivek scored a whirlwind 52 of 26 deliveries.
Arya: That brings to us an end of a one-sided contest as the Dindigul Dragons romp home by 5 wickets and with 15 deliveries to spare. They will now play the Chepauk Super Gillies in the Qualifier 2 to chance their way to the final of the tournament slated to be played on 15th August (Sunday).
17.3 Raju to S Swaminathan
1 And that's it. Carves away the full length delivery outside off down the cover region and takes a single to reach the winning target.
17.2 Raju to R Vivek
1b Beats Vivek with a googly. The keeper misses which allows Vivek to scamper for a bye single.

17.1 Raju to R Vivek
4 A boundary to start the over. Short and wide outside off and Vivek plays an exceptional shot over covers and finds the boundary. Waits for it and thrashes that uppishly over covers for a boundary.

16.6 Y V to S Swaminathan
0 Short of a length delivery again outside off and Swaminathan drops his wrists and lets that go to the keeper.
16.5 Y V to Hariharan
W Back to back wickets. A perfect delivery which jumps off from the surface and takes the outside edge of Hariharan and safely taken by the wicket-keeper. Yudheshwaran does the trick. Extra bounce from the surface and Hariharan unable to keep that down. All of sudden he is on a hat-trick.
16.4 Y V to Nishaanth
W Hari Nishaanth departs after a special knock. A good short of a length delivery which bounces just a bit extra. Hurries onto Hari Nishaant as he doesn't manage to connect the pull to perfections. Ens up hitting that uppishly straight down the throat of the deep midwicket fielder. But what an innings this has been. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. A big knock under immense pressure.
