One down, one to go - That's all from the first game of the day, which was a topsy-turvy affair, but Chepauk Super Gillies had the upper hand for most of the game and eventually prevailed quite comfortably. Up next, Siechem Madurai Panthers square off against Dindigul Dragons, with the first ball scheduled for 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can switch tabs and follow that game. Cheers!
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - For the second game in a row, the Chepauk skipper Narayan Jagadeesan takes home the award. His knock of 78 off 39 balls paved the way for a comfortable win for the Super Gillies. On the run-out involving Ram Arvindh R, Jagadeesan feels the argument that followed was simply a case of the heat of the moment and part and parcel of the game. He stresses that the result matters less than the process, which is what ultimately takes a team deeper in a T20 competition. Opines that 180 was a par score on this wicket and says that the team was clear about their plans heading into the chase.
Could not back it up with the ball - The first innings reflected the true nature of T20 cricket, where an over or two can be all it takes to turn the tide, and so it proved here. Chepauk had Salem under heaps of pressure at 84/6, but S Harish Kumar and Eshwar M got together to spark a remarkable recovery. Harish brought up his fifty along the way, as the Spartans piled on 90 runs in the last 6 overs. Salem had all the momentum heading into the second innings, but they lacked the bite with the ball and looked one-dimensional. They have slumped to their fourth straight defeat, with four more games left to turn their season around.
Super Gillies make light work of the chase - Coming into the second essay, Chepauk had work to do after letting Salem off the hook, but boy, did they respond. Led by a proper captain's knock from Narayan Jagadeesan, the Super Gillies never really looked like they would not chase down this total. Swapnil Singh also played his part as Chepauk secured a second straight win after losing their first two encounters.
SIX! That's it. Dinesh Raj S walks out and hits the winning runs. Chepauk Super Gillies win by 5 wickets to secure a second straight win. Pace on, full in length, around the off stump. Dinesh hangs deep in the crease and, with a clean swing of the arms, he blasts it over the long off fence for a biggie.
Dinesh Raj S comes out to the middle.
OUT! TAKEN! A six would have sealed the win and brought up Swapnil Singh's half-century as well but he falls short of clearing the fence. Another slower ball, on a good length, on off. Swapnil has a swing at it, looking to go down the ground. Rajendran Vivek times the jump to perfection at long on and takes a good catch over his head.
A well-exectuted slower, short ball, over off. Swapnil Singh lets it pass.
SIX! Not from the middle, but it gets the job done for Swapnil Singh. Uday rolls his fingers over the ball and lands it on a length, outside off. Swapnil hangs low and uses his reach to good effect. He has a swipe across the line and although this comes off the bottom half of the bat, he gets enough distance to clear the deep mid-wicket fence.
1 run, the batter goes back in the crease and flicks it away through mid on for a single.
SIX! Banged away. At pace this time, searching for the yorker, on off but Poiyamozhi misses his mark. It is in the slot and Swapnil collapses his back knee and lofts it over long off for another maximum. Just 10 more needed now for Chepauk Super Gillies.
SIX! Down the track and away it goes. Off-cutter dished out by Poiyamozhi, on a good length, on off and middle. It spins back a touch and Swapnil charges down the track before clubbing it over wide long on for a flat six.
No run, that is punched off the back foot but straight to the fielder.
1 run, that is just a mere push for a run.
FOUR! Easy pickings. Too short and too straight with fine leg up inside the circle. M. Mohana Prasath swivels in the crease and pulls it over the short fine leg fielder. It nearly goes the distance.
FOUR! Hit hard and wide enough. From around the wicket, dropped short by Rahil, on middle and leg. Swapnil Singh goes deep in the crease and powers it down the ground, beating the long on fielder to his left. 29 needed off 30.
A confident shout for LBW, but turned down. That seemed to be going down leg, but Abishiek Selvakumar has a word with the bowler and takes the review. Shah spots Prasath move across his stumps, and he fires it in very full, at the toes. Mohana hurriedly gets his bat down but misses and gets hit low on the front pad. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking has the ball sliding past the leg pole. A leg bye was taken as the ball went away on the leg side.
1 run, that is pushed away for a single.
1 run, this time the batter goes back and punches it from the crease to long on for a run.
SIX! Put away with disdain. Spinning down leg, not all that short but enough for M. Mohana Prasath to work with. He rocks on the back foot in a flash and gets inside the line. Shovels it behind square leg and clears the man on the fence. The 150 is up for Chepauk Super Gillies.
1 run, that is just a mere push for a run.
Good effort. Full and on off. Singh cracks the drive back towards the bowler. M Poiyamozhi sticks out the left boot and takes the sting out of the shot. It dribbles down the ground and the batters pick up a single. 9 runs off the last 12 balls. 41 needed off 36.
1 run, the batter has just blocked that from the crease. Gets a run.
1 run, the batter goes back in the crease and flicks it away through mid wicket for a single.
1 run, that is lofted back over the bowler's head for a single.
Mistimed but safe. Off-cutter, on a length, on off. Singh swings at it but ends up slicing it off the outer half and it lands well in front fo the man coming in off the long off fence. They cross.
Bowls the loopy slower ball, full and at the toes, helped to short fine leg for a single.
No run, just a mere push. But no space for a run.
1 run, that is flicked off the back foot for a run.
M. Mohana Prasath comes out to the centre.
