IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Siechem Madurai Panthers Live സ്കോര്‍, Match 23 of Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2026

Moving on - Right then, that brings us to the end of an entertaining contest, where IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans knock Siechem Madurai Panthers from the top of the table and take their place. But the action doesn’t stop here, as Nellai Royal Kings are set to take on SKM Salem Spartans in our next game, which gets underway shortly. Spartans have won the toss and elected to BAT first. Head over to the other tab to follow all the action from that one. Cheers!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Pradosh Ranjan Paul wins the award for his match-winning knock of 65* off 45. He says his role is to act as the bridge between the top and lower order, with his job being to stay at the crease and finish games. He shares that the message to Ganesh after the quick wickets was simple - to take the chase as deep as possible, knowing that the pressure would eventually build on the opposition as the required runs and balls came down. On his multi-format aspirations, Paul says he is still learning and working on his white-ball game, adding that there is plenty of work to do before becoming a three-format player. For now, he is focused on the present and finishing games for his team.

Madurai could not contain the charge - Siechem Madurai Panthers picked up a couple of wickets in the Powerplay but were blown away by the opposition skipper, who put them firmly on the back foot. Shoaib Md Khan then led a spirited fightback with an excellent 4/21, while D. Deepesh and Gurjapneet Singh chipped in with one each. However, the damage had been done early, with too many runs conceded in the Powerplay, and despite their best efforts, SMP simply did not have enough on the board to defend.

Panthers find a way back - Earlier in the game, Siechem Madurai Panthers were in deep trouble at 76/7 after IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans had made an excellent start with the ball, reducing them to 45/3 in the Powerplay. But just when a low total had seemed likely, Rohan Bhutra and Atheeq Rahman launched a stunning counter-attack, adding 73 in quick time. The Panthers smashed 56 in the final five overs to finish with something to defend, while ITT rued not finishing the job after Mathivannan M ’s 3/18 and two wickets apiece for Mohan Prasath and T Natarajan.

ITT overcome the wobble - Despite losing Amit Sathvik early, IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans made a flying start, with skipper Tushar Raheja leading the charge. He went after the bowling from the outset, smashing five sixes in an over from Rohan Bhutra, as ITT raced to 81/2 in the Powerplay. Raheja fell for a stunning 48 off just 17, triggering a mini-collapse to 91/5, but Pradosh Ranjan Paul held firm at one end. He found a willing partner in Ganesh S, with the pair adding 38 to break the back of the chase. Ganesh fell before the finish, but Paul completed a fine half-century and saw ITT home in style.

A Dream Start for Raheja - An excellent start to life as captain for Tushar Raheja in the absence of Sai Kishore, who begins his stint with a fantastic win that takes IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to the top of the table and strengthens their playoff hopes. For Siechem Madurai Panthers, it is a second straight defeat at the wrong stage of the campaign, leaving them desperate for a win in their final game to keep their playoff fate in their own hands.
