M Mohammed to Chaturved, SIX, tremendous finish! Madurai have gone hell for leather in the last few overs. That was a short ball and Chaturved flat batted it over long-on for a sixer. This is the same bowled who had defended 7 runs in a last over heist but not today. Taken to the cleaners and how. Big last over comes to an end

M Mohammed to Arun Karthik, FOUR, slogged across the line and four more. That was a length delivery, Arun Karthik went across the line and the dive from the man at deep square leg to his right also didn't help

M Mohammed to Arun Karthik, SIX, tipped over the bar by the man at deep square. That was a short ball, pulled and the fielder in the deep got both hands but the ball hit his hands and went over

Crist to J Kousik, SIX, gets hold of the short ball and hammers the pull away over deep mid for a sixer. That was off the meat of the bat and went miles over the fence. Poor delivery from Crist to start off as he dropped it too short

A Karuppusamy to P Praveen Kumar, out Caught by Maan Bafna!! That's taken at deep mid. Short ball, P Praveen Kumar pulls the ball away but again another Madurai batter finds a fielder.

A Karuppusamy to B Anirudh Sita Ram, out Caught by Crist!! On a length, B Anirudh Sita Ram drives it uppishly and finds the man at long-off. That was hit on the up and hit in the air only to find the fielder. Was hit well but placed poorly. Madurai lose a wicket at a wrong juncture. B Anirudh Sita Ram c Crist b A Karuppusamy 33(25) [4s-3 6s-1]

Maan Bafna to B Anirudh Sita Ram, FOUR, deft touch! Ram is now starting to go through the gears. Premeditates the lap sweep, gets it right over the keeper and away to the fine leg fence
7.2
6
Mohan Prasath to B Anirudh Sita Ram, SIX, hammered! Shorter side of the ground, left-arm spinner to the left-hander and Ram decides to take Prasath on. Out comes the slog sweep, it is in the slot and has been dispatched way over cow corner
5.3
4
Mohan Prasath to B Anirudh Sita Ram, FOUR, Ram seems to have come out with great intent here! Having a good score in the previous game surely helps too. A touch short and slightly wide, that's enough for Ram who stays back to cut this through the gap at backward point

Crist to Sugenthiran, out Caught by Maan Bafna!! Crist has the last laugh! He is too experienced a bowler to be tonked around for long. Angles this across Sugenthiran, the length isn't as full as the previous ball but the left-hander tries another slog. Only to get a big slice towards backward point. Dolly for Bafna. Tiruppur have finally broken through. Sugenthiran has kind of done his job though, a breezy cameo. Sugenthiran c Maan Bafna b Crist 20(12) [4s-2 6s-1]

Crist to Sugenthiran, SIX, smoked! Sugenthiran was itching to play the big shot and gets one away deep into the stands at deep mid-wicket. Fuller ball, he makes a hint of room and clobbers this with a clean pick up across the line. Sweet connection!

4
Mohan Prasath to P Praveen Kumar, FOUR, sloppy from the backward point fielder! Lets it through his hands and concedes a boundary. Wasn't a great delivery from Prasath, short and sliding into Kumar who backed away to cut. Still should have been a dot ball. Can't be so poor in the field
2.5

M Mohammed to Sugenthiran, FOUR, shot! Probably the first authoritative stroke of the night! Short and wide, there to be hit and Sugenthiran threads the gap square of the wicket with a slap-cut through backward point. It's a packed ring fielder there, yet Sugenthiran pierced it
2.4
4
M Mohammed to Sugenthiran, FOUR, top edge but goes away very fine and the fielder from short fine leg had no chance of stopping this. Slower bouncer from Mohammed, foxed Sugenthiran with the variation, forcing a miscue off the pull stroke

Crist to P Praveen Kumar, FOUR, first boundary of the evening! Kumar has had enough of plodding around, gave the charge and went hard on the slash, slicing away off the outside half. Well wide of slip and very fine to the third man fence. Not where he intended but he'll take it
