TNPL 2018: Ruby Trichy Warriors Vs IDREAM Karaikudi Kaalai Live Score, Commentary & Live Updates

YO Mahesh has done it for Kaalai. They win by one wicket with a ball to spare.

1 run needed off two balls and Yo Mahesh is on strike. Can he do it for Kaalai?

A legbye from Mohan Prasath means that the scores are level.

Was that the right move by Yo Mahesh? Two needed off 4 balls.

Dot ball to start and Yo Mahesh takes a single to deep mid-wicket. Kaalai now just need two to win but the No.11 is on strike.

Kaalai need three runs to win off the final over but it will be Yo Mahesh on strike.

OUT! But wait, another twist in the tale. Kishan is bowled around his legs and Vignesh Kannan gets a crucial wicket. S Kishan Kumar b K Vignesh 4(5)

Karaikudi Kaalai 112/9 after 19 overs

Yo Mahesh's decision to take a single off the first ball of the penultimate over looked like the wrong one after three consecutive dot balls but S Kishan's excellent cover drive for four off the fifth ball meant that it still turned out to be the right one.

Just eight runs needed off the last two overs but Kaalai only have two wickets in hand.

Two dropped catches off the first two balls and it looked like that was the game but a wicket off the penultimate ball means that Trichy are still in the game.

OUT! Rajkumar's luck runs out as he picks out Suresh Kumar at third man. Third time unlucky for Kaalai as they lose their eighth wicket. Rajkumar c Suresh Kumar b Ganapathy 7(6)

Karaikudi Kaalai 106/8 after 17.5 overs

DROPPED! Rajkumar goes for a big pull but top edges one and this time he is dropped by Sonu Yadav running in from deep mid-wicket. Not for nothing do they say catches win matches.

DROPPED! Yo Mahesh slashes hard and Suresh Kumar drops one at third man. He has done everything right so far in this game but how costly will that drop turn out to be?

Three overs to go, just 14 runs needed for Kaalai to win but they only have three wickets left.

Just when Trichy needed a tight over, they let one go for nine runs. Will that cost them the game?

Karaikudi Kaalai 101/7 after 17 overs

RUN-OUT! From nowhere, Trichy have come back into this game and that is thanks largely to a regular diet of dot balls and the odd wicket here and there. This one is a run-out courtesy of an excellent direct hit from Sonu Yadav at backward point. He released that so quickly and hit the target as well. R Kavin run out (Sonu Yadav) 5 (10)

Seven came off that over from Sonu Yadav but that also included the key wicket of Shajahan.

Karaikudi Kaalai 89/6 after 14.2 overs

SIX! Shajahan has had enough of this as he plonks a six straight over the bowler's head.

Karaikudi Kaalai 47/1 after 5.4 overs

SIX! Srikkanth says bye-bye ball. In the slot and the Kaalai skipper is happy to deposit that over cow corner and end the fifth over that went for just three runs off the first five balls with a six.

Karaikudi Kaalai 45/0 after 5 overs

There is a slight delay as the Aaditya V wants a change of bat but the 12th man doesn't bring the right one and after a couple of minutes, the issue is sorted.

Anirudha Srikkanth sees the two sixes off the previous over as an invitation to do better and that is just what he does. First slicing one past third man and to the ropes before pulling one past the bowler for another boundary. Then off the penultimate over there was a crunching cover and the over finishes with 12 runs being taken off it.

Karaikudi Kaalai 36/0 after 4 overs

Aaditya V showing that Anirudha Srikkanth is not the only who can hit sixes as he picks up a couple of sixes off Vignesh Kannan. The first one was a flat six over the bowler's head while the second went a lot longer and sailed over long on.

Karaikudi Kaalai 24/0 after 3 overs

That was a brilliant over until the last over which saw the skipper slash one just over point for a boundary.

Karaikudi Kaalai 12/0 after 2 overs

Six off the first over, including a boundary from Aaditya V over cover. Sedate start but just what the doctor ordered for Kaalai.

Karaikudi Kaalai 6/0 after 1 over

Karaikudi Kaalai's openers Aditya and captain Srikkanth walk out to the middle. Vignesh Kannan has the new ball.

Can Kaalai chase 115? Join us again in 15 minutes to find out.

Trichy Warriors bowled out for 114

The damage was done early but unlike in the games so far, the wickets were evenly distributed between pace and spin. After losing four wickets inside the power play, Warriors never really recovered and if it wasn't for a late cameo by MS Sanjay, Trichy would have struggled to cross 100. For Kaalai, it was Mohan Prasath, who starred with three wickets.

RUN-OUT! K Vignesh is run-out going for the second off the penultimate ball of the innings and Trichy are bowled out for 114.
