Madurai Panthers vs VB Thiruvallur Veerans, 21th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Abhishek Tanwar to Arun Karthik, FOUR, things going bad from worse for the Veerans. Full and outside off, Karthik opens the bat face and dinks it to third man, the fielder fails to get his body behind the line and lets it pass through his legs

Silambarasan to Shahrukh Khan, out Bowled!! Shahrukh Khan bags a golden duck. Two wickets in the over for Silambarasan. Slips in a back of the hand slower ball, completely deceives Shahrukh. He blindly went for a hoick and misses it. The ball knocks the leg-stump. Shahrukh Khan b Silambarasan 0(1)

Silambarasan to Arun Karthik, FOUR, the wicket off the last ball hasn't bothered Karthik much. He takes a short ball, swivels across and pulls it behind square

Silambarasan to Mani Bharathi, out Caught by Aparajith!! Bharathi's charmed life comes to an end. Banged in short outside off, Bharathi went for the pull across the line, gets a top-edge that went up in the air. Aparajith at mid-off called for it and pouches it safely. Mani Bharathi c Aparajith b Silambarasan 68(36) [4s-6 6s-5]

Silambarasan to Mani Bharathi, FOUR, poor ball and gets punished. Low full toss down leg, Bharathi hacks it away past the man at 45

Rahil to Mani Bharathi, SIX, what a shot. Bharathi reaches his fifty in style - off just 27 balls. Flexes his strong muscles and smokes it over long-on, he mistimed it actually but the breeze takes it away over the ropes for a maximum. Gets a warm hug from his skipper

Rahil to Mani Bharathi, FOUR, rubbish ball. Half-tracker outside off, Bharathi throws his bat and gets it over cover

Malolan Rangarajan to Mani Bharathi, SIX, yet another expensive over for VB. Bharathi gets under this flatter ball and clubs it behind square for a maximum. 17 runs off the over

Malolan Rangarajan to Arun Karthik, 3 runs, back-to-back fifties for the MSG skipper. He continues his fine form in the tournament. Slices this floater past point and adds three runs to reach the landmark. Waves his bat to the dug-out, who all are up on their feet to applaud the effort

Malolan Rangarajan to Arun Karthik, SIX, runs are coming thick and fast for MSG. Karthik is targetting the shorter boundaries. Twirls his wrists and dismisses it with the spin over square leg

Lakshmi Narayanan to Mani Bharathi, SIX, what a shot from Bharathi. That drop from Malolan is turning out to be a costly one for VB. Full and outside off, Bharathi reaches out and lifts it over extra cover for a maximum. Went some 15 rows back!

Malolan Rangarajan to Mani Bharathi, FOUR, this was a bit streaky but Bharathi won't mind. Rangarajan lasered it full and straight at the stumps, Bharathi tries to squeeze it out and in the process, squirts an inside edge that trickles away past the man at 45

Malolan Rangarajan to Mani Bharathi, FOUR, 50-stand comes up between the two. Bharathi shuffles across and pulls it behind square

Abhishek Tanwar to Mani Bharathi, SIX, wow. Bharathi has picked the bones out of this one. Bends his back knee and protracts his hands to smack it with ferocity over extra cover for a maximum

Abhishek Tanwar to Arun Karthik, FOUR, Karthik welcomes the bowler to the crease with a boundary. Short and tagged with width, Karthik reaches out and spanks it over extra cover

Sanjay Yadav to Mani Bharathi, SIX, oh goodness! Bharathi has almost launched this one into the Moon. Bends low and mows it with the spin, didn't get it off the sweet spot and skewed it off the top-edge. But it went a mile in the air and the breeze took it over the ropes for a maximum

Sanjay Yadav to Arun Karthik, FOUR, this came right off the middle. Fabulous shot from Karthik, Sanjay drops it short and pays the price. Karthik gets low and clouts it in front of square on the leg-side, splits the gap to perfection

Sanjay Yadav to Arun Karthik, FOUR, a bit uppish but just wide of short fine leg. Karthik looks to improvise and walks across his sticks, lowers his stance and hacks it past a diving short fine to his left

Silambarasan to Mani Bharathi, FOUR, thumped away with swagger. Opens up his shoulder to get under this half-volley just outside off and smashes it through extra cover

Rahil to Arun Karthik, FOUR, glorious from Karthik. Leans across to this overpitched delivery from Rahil and crunches it through extra cover. No chance for the long-off fielder

Silambarasan to Shijit Chandran, out Caught by Aparajith!! The pitch misbehaves on this occasion and dupes Chandran. Fine response from Silambarasan after getting hit for a boundary off the first ball. Banged in short, the ball stops on the wicket a fraction. Chandran went for a half-hearted swipe and tamely chips it to mid-on. Dolly for Aparajith. Shijit Chandran c Aparajith b Silambarasan 2(7)

Silambarasan to Arun Karthik, FOUR, Karthik is very strong on his pads and Silambarasan sprays it on leg first ball. The MSG skipper won't spare those. Picks it up and whiplashes it over square leg

Lakshmi Narayanan to Arun Karthik, FOUR, fabulous shot. Narayanan errs in line by dropping it short down leg, easy pickings for Karthik. He spindles across and pulls it behind square
