Dindigul Dragons vs Salem Spartans, 15th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

G Periyaswamy to Mokit Hariharan, SIX, Hariharan finishes in style, bludgeoning the pull over midwicket. Picked the slower ball and it sat up nicely

G Periyaswamy to Swaminathan, out Bowled!! The middle stump has flown a good few yards towards the keeper. Swaminathan walks across to scoop, misses it completely. Good start to the final over from Periyaswamy. Swaminathan b G Periyaswamy 5(3) [4s-1]

Lokesh Raj to Swaminathan, FOUR, short and wide, Swaminathan cuts it nicely past backward point and to the boundary

Lokesh Raj to Hari Nishanth, out Caught&Bowled!! Gone really high but not very long. Raj settles under it for a good caught and bowled. Length ball, probably a slower one, Nishanth tries to heave it over midwicket but gets a thick top-edge. Hari Nishanth c and b Lokesh Raj 52(42) [4s-2 6s-3]

Lokesh Raj to Hari Nishanth, FOUR, shovelled through extra cover. It's not a bad delivery, pitched right up on off but Nishanth powers the drive through the gap

Lokesh Raj to Hari Nishanth, SIX, full outside off, Nishanth carves it beautifully over extra cover. What timing to get it over the boundary

G Periyaswamy to Mokit Hariharan, FOUR, length ball at the stumps, Hariharan hoists it over square leg. Not the best connection here, but it's enough to trickle into the ropes after landing

G Periyaswamy to Mokit Hariharan, SIX, full ball slanted into off stump from round the wicket, gives Hariharan an opportunity to target the short side boundary at square leg and he laps it up. Down on the back knee, a flick of the wrists, and it sails away

Murugan Ashwin to Mokit Hariharan, FOUR, runs away off the bottom-edge. It's a short googly turning away outside off, Hariharan lacks conviction looking to cut. May not have picked it out of the hand. But he collects four as it scrapes the under-edge and past the keeper's gloves

Shankar to Hari Nishanth, SIX, right in the slot, and it disappears. Second six of the over. Not too dissimilar from the first one either with Hari Nishanth getting the opportunity to swing through the line of the ball, going downtown

Shankar to Mokit Hariharan, FOUR, that should be four. The fielder's feet were in contact with the boundary while he was stopping the ball. The third umpire has a look and four it is. Pitched up on middle and leg, Hariharan flicks it crisply past the diving fielder at midwicket. Lovely timing. Should've been cut off at the boundary though

Shankar to Hari Nishanth, SIX, length ball angled in on off, Nishanth clears the front leg and clobbers it over long-on. Clean strike for six

Murugan Ashwin to Rajhamany Srinivasan, out Caught by Sushil!! Flat leg-break outside off, Srinivasan tries punching off the back foot but nicks it through. Gets a send-off from Murugan Ashwin. It was pushed through the air, back of a length, and just found a bit of turn. Rajhamany Srinivasan c Sushil b Murugan Ashwin 14(12) [6s-1]

Murugan Ashwin to Rajhamany Srinivasan, SIX, might've been the googly, Srinivasan picks it and demolishes it with the slog-sweep. Muscled over the deep midwicket boundary

Murugan Ashwin to Rajhamany Srinivasan, 2 runs, dragged down short outside off, Srinivasan cuts to the left of sweeper cover

Lokesh Raj to Mani Bharathi, out Caught by M Ganesh Moorthi!! Lokesh Raj takes two in two and he is pumped. Mani Bharathi doesn't like what is said to him I guess. Thankfully Vijay Shankar comes in to rescue the situation. Takes the batsman away from the aggressive bowler. What a good catch though. This is another slice off a thickish outside edge, extra-cover keeps his eyes on the ball as he backtracks, catches it over his shoulder. Never easy those ones. Lokesh Raj had a few words to say and the batsman took offence. Hat-trick ball coming up. Mani Bharathi c M Ganesh Moorthi b Lokesh Raj 0(1)

Lokesh Raj to R Vivek, out Caught by G Periyaswamy!! This time straight to Periyaswamy at the squarish third man region and he makes no mistake. Lokesh Raj gives R Vivek a send-off with a loud roar. The bowler obviously frustrated at the boundary earlier in the over. This is sliced off a thick edge and Periyaswamy takes it low in front of him with two hands. R Vivek c G Periyaswamy b Lokesh Raj 59(41) [4s-6 6s-4]

Lokesh Raj to R Vivek, FOUR, Periyaswamy running from third man does his best, but can't even get a fingertip on that. Full on off, sliced high up in the air, was a catching opportunity, Periyaswamy lunges as the ball dips at the last moment, runs away to the fence

Shankar to R Vivek, SIX, 50 for R Vivek. Gets a hug from Hari Nishanth. Right in the slot outside off, R Vivek stays back, clears his front leg and powers it way over long-off. The bat is raised to soak in the applause

Shankar to R Vivek, no ball, FOUR, Shankar compounds matters with a no-ball for height. High full-toss over the waist, R Vivek swipes over the square leg - who is still inside the circle. Free-hit time!

Shankar to R Vivek, FOUR, square leg is inside and R Vivek goes wide of him. Short just above the waist, R Vivek gets forward to pull with all his might

Lokesh Raj to R Vivek, SIX, R Vivek shows us that he is not all about power. There's a deft touch to him as well. Sits down and goes outside off, then paddle-scoops it over the keeper. Went all the way. Superb execution

Murugan Ashwin to R Vivek, FOUR, edged and through the vacant slip region. R Vivek throws his bat at a shortish delivery outside off, gets lucky with the edge

Lokesh Raj to R Vivek, byes, FOUR, poor from both the keeper and third man. Lokesh Raj beats R Vivek with a pacy full delivery, it bpunced and Sushil couldn't gather it cleanly. Parried it over and third man with a lazy bend and pick-up with his left-hand allows the ball to slip through

Murugan Ashwin to R Vivek, SIX, he gets one in the middle of the bat. Murugan Ashwin threw it up and R Vivek cleared his front leg and lofted it high and handsome over long-on. The ball soars over the fielder

G Periyaswamy to R Vivek, FOUR, that's finesse from R Vivek. Uses the pace on the ball to steer late after making room, beats backward point and short third to perfection

M Ganesh Moorthi to R Vivek, SIX, clean hit. Uses raw power to muscle this over long-on. When he hits them, it stays hit

M Ganesh Moorthi to R Vivek, FOUR, hit so hard. Cut into the ground, bounces in front of backward point and lobs over him. Raced away

M Ganesh Moorthi to Arun, out Stumped!! Gone. The pressure got to Arun and he perishes. Uses his feet and misses a fast straight ball, Arun flicks and misses, the ball goes on the keeper who does the rest. Easy stumping as well. M Ganesh Moorthi strikes. Arun st Sushil b M Ganesh Moorthi 1(9)

M Ganesh Moorthi to Hari Nishanth, FOUR, similar ball to the last one, Hari this time delays the cut and places it wide of the deep fielder for a boundary. Through point
