Commentary

That's all from us then! This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Pradeep! See you soon!

Vimal Kumar is the Player of the Match!

Shivam Singh: Turned out to be good today, I'm just following the basics, I take my start at the start and it's working for me. Vimal batted brilliantly, my partnership with him changed the course of the game. Quite simple, take one ball at a time and follow the process. Will try to follow the process and leave the results to it and want to take one game at a time.

Dindigul Dragons 160/3 in 19.3 overs
Vimal Kumar 62(53) | S Mohan Prasath 1/33
Shivam Singh 51(39) | M Poiyamozhi 1/22

This has been a comprehensive effort from the Dindigul Dragons and they've chased down 160 with ease in the end! The chase was build on the back of a superb opening stand that was more than 100 runs! Shivam SIngh and Vimal Kumar took the wind out of the sails from the Nellore bowling! Both the batters scored crucial half centuries and played calculative cricket!

They accelerated once they were set and ensured that they were always ahead of the run rate! Once the two openers had been dismissed it was Adithya Ganesh and Baba Indrajith who saw them over the line in the end! The game did go down to the final over but in the end it was an easy win for the Dindigul Dragons as they clinched it by 7 wickets!

The Nellore Royals bowlers tried hard but they couldn't contain the batters! Sonu Yadav was the pick of the bowlers but was unlucky as a no ball was given off his bowling in the penultimate over and that turned out to be the turning point in the game! Poiyamozhi and Mohan Prasath were the other two bowlers who managed to get their names on the wickets column as they got a wicket apiece!

Dindigul Dragons have clinched this game by 7 wickets!

19.3 M Poiyamozhi to Baba Indrajith, THAT'S IT! Dragons win! That's a comprehensive win and both the teams have qualified to the playoffs, that leaves the fourth spot open now. Back of a length on the fourth stump, Indrajith dabs it to short third for a single to seal the deal.

19.2 M Poiyamozhi to Adithya Ganesh, OH! Indrajith was struggling there and a direct-hit would've been curtains for him, there was a misfield at backward point and also there was a mix-up as they take a tight single. Scores are level now!

19.1 M Poiyamozhi to Baba Indrajith, change of pace, back of a length on the off-stump. Indrajith clipped it around the corner for an easy single. Just 2 needed now!

Disastrous penultimate over there from Sonu Yadav and the wheels have come off now for the Nellore Royal Kings! The no ball call earlier in the over was a bit harsh and Yadav never really recovered from there!

18.6 R Sonu Yadav to Adithya Ganesh, FOUR! Length delivery outside the off-stump, Ganesh leans and lofted it over extra-cover, that goes one bounce into the ropes, what a shot!

18.5 R Sonu Yadav to Adithya Ganesh, yorker length on the fourth stump, Ganesh backed away and puts his horizontal bat into it to carve it away but misses.

18.5 R Sonu Yadav to Adithya Ganesh, WIDE! Short and angling in, but strays down the leg-side and called a wide.

18.4 R Sonu Yadav to Baba Indrajith, back of a length, wide of off-stump. Indrajith cuts it past the point but gets only a single.

18.3 R Sonu Yadav to Adithya Ganesh, short into the batter, Ganesh gets hurried as he looks to pull and miscued it slightly into the on-side for one.

18.2 R Sonu Yadav to Baba Indrajith, low full toss, Indrajith carves it straight to extra-cover and takes a quick single.

18.1 R Sonu Yadav to Baba Indrajith, FOUR! Free-hit costs Kings the boundary. Length delivery on the off-stump, Indrajith smacked it straight down the ground and picks up a much needed boundary.

Oh no!!!! Poiyamozhi was well behind the line there! But unfortunately the on field umpires call will stay and that means that the Dragons will get a free hit from that ball!

18.1 R Sonu Yadav to Adithya Ganesh, length delivery outside the off-stump, Ganesh smacked it through extra-cover but they get just a single. Dear oh dear, Sonu has overstepped and its called a no-ball. But hang on, the replays shows something else, Sonu has landed his foot well behind it, that's too harsh from the umpire!

Baba Indrajith, RHB, comes to the crease.
