Tuti Patriots post 157/7

This was an innings of four quarters of five overs. The first five overs was relatively even as Tuti scored 41 but lost a wicket. The second quarter was dominated by the Trichy Warriors, who picked up two wickets and conceded just 27 runs. Overs 11-15 belonged to the Patriots, who made the most of a dropped catch off the first ball of the 11th over as they added 55 runs in that period without losing a wicket. The final quarter undoubtedly belonged to Trichy, who conceded just 34 runs and picked up four wickets.

Just five runs off the final over and Ganpa gives Trichy the perfect finish as Tuti finish on 157/7.

OUT! Akash Sumra attempts a big shot but skies that and that is another good catch running back. This time the catch is by MS Sanjay.

Sonu Yadav has been exceptional today with his variations. The batsmen simply haven't been able to pick his slower ones and he has varied his length nicely as well. He finishes his spell with figures of 2/25

Successful over from Suresh Kumar as he picks up the big fish while also conceding just six runs, which included two wides.

Tuti Patriots 138/5 after 17 overs

Tuti Patriots 134/5 after 16.3 overs

Tuti Patriots 132/4 after 16 overs

Suresh Kumar is into the attack and his first over goes for just seven runs.

Tuti Patriots 116/3 after 14 overs

The game is starting to slip away from Trichy. 14 runs came off the final over from Kannan Vignesh.

Tuti Patriots 112/3 after 13 overs

10 runs in two balls! Nidish, who was dropped earlier, is making the most of his life. Both boundaries came wide of long on.

Incredibly expensive start from MS Sanjay. After conceding four runs before even a ball was bowled, his over ends with Tuti picking up 19 runs.

Tuti Patriots 98/3 after 12 overs

Some excellent fielding from Trichy in the last two balls. First a diving stop at long off to save a certain boundary, then a direct hit from the bowler. Although the latter ricochets off the stumps and Tuti sneak two runs off the overthrow, it shows the commitment the Warriors have after some dropped catches earlier.

MS Sanjay hasn't found his radar so far. He has now bowled FOUR WIDES in a row.
