Presentation time...
Lyca Kovai Kings did not have a huge score to defend and failed to create any impact with the ball either. P Bhuvaneswaran, Ramesh Divakar, and Jhathavedh Subramanyan took a wicket each, but the Kings did not pose any challenge to the Tiruppur batters. Earlier today, Lyca Kovai Kings batted first and posted a below-par score of 137/9. A couple of their batters got decent starts, but none of them could go past the 30-run mark. B Sachin was the top scorer with 24 in what was a sorry-looking scorecard for the Kings. For Tiruppur, T Natarajan, Sai Kishore, and Esakkimuthu A were the pick of the bowlers, taking seven wickets between them. With this result, the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans are sitting well at second place while the Lyca Kovai Kings are reeling at the bottom and are pretty much out of the competition.
A clinical run-chase from the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans helps them defeat the Lyca Kovai Kings by seven wickets with more than three overs to spare. Chasing 138 for the win, the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans lost Tushar Raheja early, but Sai Kishore and Pradosh Ranjan Paul played handy knocks through the middle while Amith Sathvik carried on his good form and anchored the innings with an unbeaten 66 off 47 balls. Mohamed Ali came late and whacked a few lusty blows to close out the game for the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans.
