Salem Spartans vs Chepauk Super Gillies, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Harish Kumar to B Praanesh, 2 runs, dropped at long-on! B Praanesh had lofted it hard and the fielder in the deep charged in to take the catch. Gets his hands to it, but fails to latch on to the catch. Salem Spartans end with 142/7

Harish Kumar to Murugan Ashwin, out Caught by Sonu Yadav!! Takes the bowler on, looks to go big against Harish Kumar and lofts it straight down the ground. The fielder from long-off sprints across and takes a well judged catch in the deep. Murugan Ashwin c Sonu Yadav b Harish Kumar 5(8)

Sonu Yadav to Sushil, leg byes, FOUR, low full toss on leg, Sushil looks to flick this through the leg side, but it comes off the pads and rolls down to the fine leg boundary

Harish Kumar to Ferrario, out Bowled!! Harish Kumar gets the big fish and roars at the skipper! Short of a length delivery outside off and the batsman who looks to drag it into the leg-side ends up dragging it back onto the stumps. That's a huge wicket as it will make a lot of difference to the eventual score. Ferrario b Harish Kumar 39(22) [4s-1 6s-3]

Harish Kumar to Ferrario, SIX, slower one by Harish Kumar, right in the slot and the skipper has picked the bones out of it, smoked over long-on for half-a-dozen

Sonu Yadav to Akshay Srinivasan, out Bowled!! Chopped on and Sonu Yadav is on a hat-trick. Was a shortish delivery outside off and Akshay Srinivasan chops it right onto his stumps. Just when the Spartans were looking to take off, Chepauk have struck back with a couple of wickets. Akshay Srinivasan b Sonu Yadav 0(1)

Sonu Yadav to Shankar, out Caught by Kaushik Gandhi!! Full toss delivery and the batsman has lofted it straight to the opposition skipper stationed near the boundary. Timed it really well, but had Shankar put a lot more power behind it, this could have possibly been a six. Shankar c Kaushik Gandhi b Sonu Yadav 32(28) [4s-3 6s-1]

Harish Kumar to Ferrario, FOUR, good effort, but it's a boundary. Was a slow and full ball outside off and Ferrario lofted it towards sweeper cover. Alexander in the deep sprints across, gets his hands to it and tries to flick it away, but he's in contact with the cushions and the ball eventually

R Alexander to Ferrario, SIX, straight as an arrow! A loopy delivery by R Alexander and the batsman has launched it right over the bowler's head for six runs. Couldn't have played it any better

R Alexander to Shankar, 1 run, goes down on his knee and sweeps this through backward square leg for a single

Harish Kumar to Shankar, FOUR, pathetic fielding! Crashes this short and wide ball through cover-point as there's another misfield in the deep and Shankar gets his third boundary of the over, 15 runs in that over

Harish Kumar to Shankar, FOUR, width on offer and the batsman has bludgeoned this over the infield at extra cover for four runs. Runs coming thick and fast for the Spartans

Harish Kumar to Shankar, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Shankar makes room and thrashes this through the gap at extra cover for a scintillating boundary

Manimaran Siddharth to Shankar, SIX, down on his knee and slogsweeps this tossed up delivery over deep mid-wicket for a flat six

Manimaran Siddharth to Ferrario, SIX, dances down the wicket and lofts this tossed up delivery right over long-off for half-a-dozen. Clean as a whistle!

Manimaran Siddharth to Ravi Karthikeyan, out Caught by Sathish!! Tossed up delivery by Manimaran Siddharth and Ravi Karthikeyan looks to go big. Swings across the line and miscues it towards short mid-wicket where the fielder completes a really simple catch. Ravi Karthikeyan c Sathish b Manimaran Siddharth 6(12)

Sathish to Gopinath, out Caught by Kaushik Gandhi!! On a length around off, Gopinath looks to go big and miscues his swing towards mid-off. Easy catch for the fielder inside the ring as they have lost both their openers. Gopinath c Kaushik Gandhi b Sathish 33(24) [4s-5]

Sathish to Gopinath, 2 runs, slower delivery on middle and leg, Gopinath flicks it over mid-wicket for a couple of runs

Sonu Yadav to S Abishiek, out Caught by Sathish!! S Abishiek finally runs out of luck, but more importantly his struggle comes to an end. Didn't look like timing the ball whatsoever. Was a short and quick ball by Sonu Yadav that didn't rise. S Abishiek rocks back in his crease and pulls this to short mid-wicket where Sathish takes a sharp catch at chest height towards his right. S Abishiek c Sathish b Sonu Yadav 10(17) [4s-1]

Sonu Yadav to S Abishiek, no run, fantastic effort by Sathish who stops it with a dive towards short mid-wicket. Goes for a direct-hit at the batsman's end who was outside the crease to get a single, but once again the ball misses the stickes by a whisker

R Alexander to Gopinath, FOUR, on a length around off and the batsman makes room to loft this over mid-off. Four more!

R Alexander to Gopinath, FOUR, think we have the first six of the match. Nope, we'll have to wait for it, this has landed in front of the cushions again. Gopinath will have to settle for a boundary as he sweeps this towards deep backward square leg and the ball hits the cushions on a bounce

Jaganath Sinivas to Gopinath, FOUR, is that a six, or is it a boundary? Very close call. Gopinath lines up against the length delivery and clubs it across the line. On a bounce and into the cushions. Just landed in front of the boundary

Jaganath Sinivas to Gopinath, 1 run, swings hard as he gets an edge towards point. The fielder from point has an underarm throw at the keeper's end with one stump to aim at, but fails to hit. Would have been curtains again as Abishiek was miles outside his crease

Jaganath Sinivas to Gopinath, FOUR, tonked over the bowler's head! Makes room and bludgeons the full length delivery straight down the ground. Almost went the distance as the ball lands just in front of the cushions

Sonu Yadav to S Abishiek, FOUR, full and wide outside off, S Abishiek goes down on his knee and square-drives this as he manages to beat the fielder at point. He opens his account with a boundary, just like his partner did

Sonu Yadav to Gopinath, FOUR, Gopinath is off the mark in style! Full length delivery outside off, width on offer and the batsman has smashed it over the infield at covers for a rollicking boundary
