Ruby Trichy Warriors vs Madurai Panthers, 14th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Raja to J Kousik, SIX, slower length ball outside off and the batsman fetches the ball to deposit it over deep mid. That was done with all the muscles being flexed into the shot

Raja to Akkil Srinaath, out Caught by Karthikeyan!! The slog connects this time but the slower ball does him in and the man at deep mid takes it with ease. Third dot of the over. The two dot balls prior to it forced the batsman to be lured into the trap. Akkil Srinaath c Karthikeyan b Raja 11(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Vignesh to Akkil Srinaath, SIX, walks into the slog and hits it into orbit. The meteor when it came crashing down was beyond the reach of any of the fielders as it landed over the cow corner fence

Vignesh to Akkil Srinaath, FOUR, full toss and the ball takes the outer half of the bat to fly over point for a four. The batsman opened the face of the bat on impact and got it away

Karthikeyan to Nilesh Subramanian, out Caught by Prashanth Prabhu!! The skiddy arm ball dangling away, the batsman inside edged it and didn't wait for the umpire's decision as he walked. End of a superb cameo from Nilesh Subramanian. That has given the Warriors the bit of cushion that they will happily take. Nilesh Subramanian c Prashanth Prabhu b Karthikeyan 35(15) [4s-3 6s-3]

Karthikeyan to Nilesh Subramanian, SIX, four, six and six. Tad quicker on off, Subramanian hangs back and flat-bats it straight down the ground

Karthikeyan to Nilesh Subramanian, SIX, Subramanian is playing a blinder here. He is upping the ante big time for RTW. Lowers his stance and murders it over long-on

Karthikeyan to Nilesh Subramanian, FOUR, things going bad to worse for MSG in the field. Subramanian spanked it hard through extra cover, the fielder runs to his left, was lazy to bend in time and lets the ball pass through to the fence

M Poiyamozhi to Nilesh Subramanian, SIX, "Picked the bones out of that," shouts Dean Jones on air. It's one of his famous cliches. The back of the hand slower ball, Subramanian spotted it early and launches it over deep mid-wicket. The ball sails over the stands and out of the park. New balls please!

DT Chandrasekar to Nilesh Subramanian, FOUR, first boundary for Subramanian. Bends low and smashes it straight over the bowler's head

Raja to Bharath Shankar, out Bowled!! The bowling change has worked for MSG. Look at Raja, brings out Brett Lee's celebration (The famous sideways jump clapping his feet). Kept it simple, full on off, Shankar swings at it and can only squirt an inside edge back onto the stumps. Both openers back in the hut for RTW. Bharath Shankar b Raja 53(47) [4s-5 6s-2]

Karthikeyan to Nilesh Subramanian, FOUR, in the air and bursts through the fingers of Vignesh. Real clumsy. Looped up just outside off, Subramanian throws his bat and gets an outside edge that flew to short third man, Vignesh leap but couldn't time his jump to perfection. Karthikeyan is fuming

Karthikeyan to Bharath Shankar, FOUR, Shankar brings up his fifty in style. The entire dug-out of RTW are up on their feet to applaud the effort. Flat and begging to be hit, Shankar goes back and smears it past point

Vignesh to Indrajith, out Caught by Suresh Kumar!! MSG have finally broken the opening stand. Indrajith departs for a well-made 70. Landed it full and invited the RTW skipper to play the big shot, Indrajith went for it but miscued it completely. Skied it towards long-off and Suresh settles under it calmly. Indrajith c Suresh Kumar b Vignesh 70(37) [4s-12 6s-1]

Vignesh to Indrajith, FOUR, poor, poor effort from the deep mid-wicket fielder. Indrajith pulls this short ball through mid-wicket, the fielder sprints to his left, slides but overdoes it. Embarrasses himself there

M Poiyamozhi to Indrajith, FOUR, superb improvisation from Indrajith. Walks right across his sticks and flicks this full ball past square leg

DT Chandrasekar to Indrajith, SIX, Indrajith emulates his partner now and says he can hit those big sixes. Dances down the track to reach the pitch and handsomely lifts it over long-on

DT Chandrasekar to Indrajith, FOUR, delicate stuff from Indrajith. Waits for the ball to arrive, almost fetches it from the keeper's glove with an open bat face to dink it past short third man

DT Chandrasekar to Bharath Shankar, SIX, fabulous shot from Shankar. Uses his feet, meets the pitch and dismisses it into the oblivion over the cow corner fence. A 92-metre hit to be precise

Karthikeyan to Indrajith, 1 run, Indrajith raises his fifty. The first one for RTW in this season. He gets there in rather unconvincing fashion. Arm-ball from Karthikeyan, Indrajith steps out to work it through mid-wicket, gets an inside edge which deflects onto the keeper's pad and rolls away to short third man. A mandatory wave of the bat from the RTW skipper

M Poiyamozhi to Indrajith, FOUR, deft and cheeky from Indrajith. Uses the pace and bounce on offer, opens the bat face and guides it past the keeper

Karthikeyan to Indrajith, FOUR, nicely played. Indrajith goes deep and slashes the cut in the pocket between short third man and backward point

Karthikeyan to Indrajith, FOUR, edged and four. Indrajith goes for the cut and gets a thick outside edge that beats short third man

Vignesh to Indrajith, FOUR, raining boundaries for RTW. Tenth boundary of the innings. Floated full on off, Indrajith bends his back knee and drills it straight down the ground. No chance for either long-off or long-on

Raja to Indrajith, FOUR, what a shot. Thumped away with swagger. Raja serves it full and wide of off, Indrajith makes a bit of room and thrashes it through extra cover

Raja to Indrajith, FOUR, Indrajith joins into the act now. Plants his front foot forward and drives it with ferocity straight down the ground

M Poiyamozhi to Bharath Shankar, FOUR, the boundaries are flowing for RTW. Poiyamozhi overbakes and lands it full outside off, Shankar unleashes his strong bottom hand and bullies it past mid-off

M Poiyamozhi to Bharath Shankar, SIX, wow. After struggling with the timing initially, Shankar is now looking in ominous touch. Sees a short ball early, rocks back and smokes it over the cow corner fence

M Poiyamozhi to Bharath Shankar, FOUR, blazes away like a tracer bullet. Half-volley just outside off, Shankar leans across and blasts it through extra cover

Raja to Bharath Shankar, FOUR, bangs it short again, Shankar pounces onto it in a flash. Skips back and nails the pull in front of square on the leg-side. Dwayne Smith-esque

DT Chandrasekar to Indrajith, FOUR, this is turning out to be an expensive over for MSG. Indrajith is taking full use of the Powerplay. Flexes his muscles and swipes it with the turn through mid-wicket

DT Chandrasekar to Indrajith, FOUR, excellent from Indrajith. High percentage shot. The downtown loft, gets under this tossed up delivery and biffs it over mid-off

DT Chandrasekar to Indrajith, FOUR, Indrajith is off and running. Beautiful shot, just makes room with a decent lunge forward and goes inside-out over extra cover

Vignesh to Bharath Shankar, FOUR, finally, Shankar finds his bearings right. Sees the ball in his arc, without much feet extends his hands and lifts it over mid-off
