The Presentation ceremony...
The reigning champions roar - A third win on the bounce for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans and they keep climbing up the table, showcasing their grit and resilience. As for Lyca Kovai Kings, it is a second straight defeat and they will hope to bounce back stronger. Chasing a middling total, Tiruppur lost the talismanic Tushar Raheja early but his opening partner Amith Sathvik struck another half century. The spinner of Kovai Kings did well to keep chipping in with the wickets but S Mohamed Ali and Mathivannan M added an unbeaten 63-run stand to take Tiruppur over the line with 2 overs to spare.
