TUTI Patriots vs Dindigul Dragons, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

T Natarajan to Akash Sumra, out Caught by Raju!! That's a good catch at deep point. Was carved out flat and ferocious by Akash Sumra, the fielder stood at the ropes and judiciously paced his catch. Akash Sumra c Raju b T Natarajan 1(3)

MS Sanjay to Subramanian Anand, SIX, gee, stays in the crease, just about reaches out outside off and slogs the ball over wide long-on. That looked powerful!

MS Sanjay to SP Nathan, out Caught by R Vivek!! Shimmies down and gets too close to the ball, and hence doesn't get the distance on this attempted inside-out loft. Ends up miscuing it to long-off off the toe-end of the bat. SP Nathan c R Vivek b MS Sanjay 20(19) [4s-1 6s-1]

MS Sanjay to SP Nathan, FOUR, cuts through backward point. Credit to the batsman. Not a hell lot short in length but SP Nathan waits back and plays it late

S Kumar Singh to Subramanian Anand, SIX, he's picked this. Unleashes his bottom hand on this full ball and launches it over cow corner. A four to get the boundaries flowing and now a six to back it up

S Kumar Singh to Subramanian Anand, FOUR, finds the gap this time. Slaps the drive, eludes the cover fielder and then the diving long-off fielder, too. A boundary after 12 balls

MS Sanjay to Subramanian Anand, 1 run, cut to point who misfields and then lets out wide throw. Keeper flicks the ball back onto the stumps but enough time for SP Nathan to come rushing in

Murugan Ashwin to SP Nathan, SIX, ah, gets a ball drifting in to pitch on leg-stump, so he loads up and swings a six over square leg

R Vivek to Washington Sundar, out Caught by N Jagadeesan!! He's livid with himself, is Washington Sundar. Tries to upper-cut a delivery over the keeper's head but ends up playing it straight to him. Soft way to go but he does so after a well-made fifty, setting the season off and running. Washington Sundar c N Jagadeesan b R Vivek 69(48) [4s-8 6s-2]

R Vivek to Washington Sundar, 1 run, length ball and sloshed across to long-on. Lifts it off the inside edge. Keeper takes the bails off but SP Nathan looks in. Washington Sundar had sent him back quite early there. Yes, he's in, say the third ump. and the replays

Murugan Ashwin to Washington Sundar, FOUR, drops this googly short and is hacked off the back foot. Nearly carries; one bounce over the ropes at deep mid-wicket

T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, FOUR, full toss down leg and it's an easy glance through fine leg. Back to run-leaking, are the Dragons. Where's the fire..

T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, SIX, another short ball but Washington Sundar reacts better this time. Not in control but jumps and swivels the pull away over backward square. The fielder in the deep was in the vicinity but didn't have a chance. This carried over comfortably

T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, FOUR, short ball getting big on him and taking the top-edge over the keeper's head. Not quite the ideal way to get to a 50 but Washington Sundar will take it. Off 36 balls too

Victor to Kaushik Gandhi, out Caught by MS Sanjay!! He had just stopped one with a dive at backward point but this time, he's pulled off a beaut, has MS Sanjay. Anticipated the pace on this uppish cut shot so well, syncs his steps to his right and then dives backwards, one-handed, to grab hold of this. Stunning. Needed something as good to break this 107-run opening stand. Kaushik Gandhi c MS Sanjay b Victor 46(33) [4s-7]

Subramania Siva to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, reaches to the pitch of the ball with a good front foot stride across his stumps, and then deftly glides it past short third man. 100 up!

Subramania Siva to Washington Sundar, FOUR, tries to bowl quick but drops it short in doing so. And guess what, he's been swarmed through backward point

R Vivek to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, ah, drifting down a little and this has been met with whiplash of a leg glance

Subramania Siva to Kaushik Gandhi, leg byes, FOUR, full toss drifting down but it's dipped at the wrong time for Kaushik Gandhi and taken his pad. Keeper, who's up to the stumps, has no chance either

R Vivek to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, run-scoring looking easy. And the bowling isn't looking up to the challenge either. Not short but there's width, and this has been slashed through vacant third man. Trick was to find the gap at point, and he did

S Kumar Singh to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, and slashes his bat at the width and gets a boundary through backward point now. 67/0 off the powerplay: not bad, eh?

S Kumar Singh to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, smashes it through long-on. Weight in front and the bat goes across. Hedgehop of a low-flying drill to get a boundary

Murugan Ashwin to Washington Sundar, FOUR, now a delivery even shorter, and going away -- hey, it's the googly, again. Slapped away through the off-side. Who needs an invitation for that anyway. End of a long 18-run over

Murugan Ashwin to Washington Sundar, 1 run, quicker and slapped to short cover for a quick single. Nobody was in control here: not the batsman, not the bowler

Murugan Ashwin to Washington Sundar, FOUR, more width on this googly and it's been cracked through covers

Murugan Ashwin to Washington Sundar, SIX, mauled over long-on. Sees the ball pitched full, and plays with the turn. Murugan Ashwin here is from over the wicket here

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, leg byes, FOUR, now this takes Kaushik Gandhi's pad and runs to the other side of the keeper, to the fine leg fence. The bat is there, somewhere

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, byes, FOUR, slower delivery and this has duped the keeper too. Kaushik Gandhi is first drawn across, only to be beaten on the outside edge, and then a fumble behind the wicket. Life's unfair, T Natarajan will feel. Well, he must

T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, FOUR, fuller follow-up ball and Washington Sundar takes full toll. Drives and then opens it last minute to find the gap between two fielders guarding the point region

S Kumar Singh to Washington Sundar, FOUR, plonked over the bowler's head. Takes this length ball on the up and lays into it

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, fuller and this flick has beaten a good one-handed flick-dive at deep mid-wicket. But the ball was timed too well; finds a way through

MS Sanjay to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, some flight and this has been slapped away through cover-point. First boundary of TNPL
