... Presentation...
Lyca Kovai Kings knew spinners will be key on this pitch and Shahrukh Khan used them as the pacers were taken to cleaners whenever given the ball. Lyca Kovai Kings were already short of runs and were not helped by the fielding as they dropped a couple of crucial catches. Earlier, the Lyca Kovai Kings had a bumpy road throughout the innings, losing wickets regularly and unable to establish any kind of momentum. However, the skipper, Shahrukh Khan, came up clutch with his fantastic 77, but it never looked like a troubling score for Siechem Madurai Panthers, who chased it down without breaking a sweat.
A comfortable, comfortable win for Siechem Madurai Panthers and they get off the mark this season. Chasing a par total, they needed one batter to play through. Ram Arvindh R played the big innings along with B Anirudh Sita Ram at the top as the duo added 88 runs for the first wicket and did half of the job. Ram Arvindh R was the aggressor, he slowed down a touch in the middle but Siechem Madurai Panthers had the required run rate in check throughout the chase. NS Chaturved played a handy unbeaten innings of 46 to put the icing on the cake.
