This game had everything in it, At the halfway mark, one would have thought that it would be an easy chase!! But ITT came out all guns blazing and bundled the opponents for just 76 runs!! IDream Tirupurr Tamizahns have won the match by a huge margin of 53 runs!! That's it from us, I am Ovaise Shariff signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal and scorer/analyst Raju Kariya. Join us tomorrow for all the live cricket action from around the globe. Until then, It's goodbye and good night!!
Mann K Bafna (Player of the Match): Pitch was difficult. When I went in, it was low, wasn't coming on. Thought 120-130 was a par score. My role is to play till 17-18th over as we have big hitters like Rajkumar to come down the order.
Anirudha (Winning Captain): I thought it was a winning total, the short balls were impossible to play. Mann K Bafna played a fantastic knock to take us to 130!! The bowlers were brilliant and it was a total team effort to get over the line in this one. We will look to continue with the winning moment and look to come out with positive intent in the next game.
Saptak:
When Arun Karthik drove the length ball outside off stump exceptionally well it seemed that Madurai team will score runs at a faster rate and will chase 130 successfully but after losing three early wickets, the match gradually started to go out of their hands and they lost 4 wickets inside the powerplay and that happened for the first time in this year's TNPL.
Due credit goes to all the Tamizhan bowlers as they successfully utilized the variable bounce and repeatedly foxed the opposition batters. Once the SMP team was unable to hit any boundary for 7 overs consecutive and was losing wickets at regular intervals. Ashwin Crist, Mohan Prasath was very fine with their effectiveness as they took wickets and kept the economy very low. Only Arun Karthik, Rithik Easwaran and Sunny Sandhu crossed the double figure mark. It was Crist who took three wickets while Prasath scalped two wickets while S Manigandan, M Mohammed and R Rajkumar took 1 wicket each to bundle the opposition out for 76!

NS Chaturved: We lost couple of wicket and didn't have any partnership throughout the game. We thought 129 was a very good total to chase but credit goes to the bowlers as they utilized the variable bounce very well.
Ovaise: IDream Tiruppur Tamizahans have won the match by 53 runs!! Tamizahans crawled their way to 129-7 after playing their full quota of 20. Madhurai would have been confident mid-way but they collapsed and have got bundled out for just 76, registering the third lowest total in the history of the TNPL!!
Earlier in the day, Madhurai Panther won the toss and opted to bowl first. S Arvind and skipper Srikkanth Anirudha walked out to open the batting for the IDream Trippur Tamizhans and got off to a good start, the first ball was put away for a boundary, looked like ITT wanted to capitalize early in the powerplay but Kiran Akash was brilliant with the ball in hand, he swung the ball both ways and made it extremely tough for the batter out in the middle and was rewarded with a wicket on the fifth ball of his first over, dismissing the dangerous Anirudha. R Rajkumar walked in and looked in a very aggressive mood, but he too was dismissed by Kiran Akash which left ITT reeling at 26-2 in 3.3 overs. Francis Rokins joined Arvind in the middle and together they steadied the ship and stitched up a small partnership and took their team past the 50 runs mark.
Spin was introduced into the attack picked up two quick wickets and put Tiruppur on the back foot!! Tiruppur were 4 down for 52 in 9.1 when Mann K Bafna and Tushar Raheja stitched up a good partnership, they were watchful but at the same time were punishing the bad deliveries. ITT lost Raheja on the 1st ball on the 15th over and were 83-5!! Mann K Bafna was the only batter who looked like taking Tiruppur to a formidable totally, he alongside Suresh Kumar took their team past the 100-run mark, Suresh was dismissed on the last ball of the 17th over. Although Mann K Bafna was losing partners from the other end he looked determined to take his team to a competitive total.
K Akash was the pick of the bowlers for the Madhurai Panther picking up 3 wickets. Ragupathy Silambarasan, Varun Chakravarthy, Jagatheesan Kousik and PK Sarvanan picked up a wicket each!! Sunny Sandhu was the only one who went wicketless and a tad expensive as well, giving away 33 runs in his 3 overs.
17.2 M Mohammed to K Akash
W Full and on the 4th stump line, Akash drives firmly away from his body, Mann K Bafna collects the ball at covers and is quick to get a direct him!! The batter is well short of the crease!! The game is done and dusted!!
