Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair where IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans got the better of Trichy Grand Cholas. However, the action does not stop in the TNPL 2025 here, as we have another game lined up for you, which is between Nellai Royal Kings and the hosts, SKM Salem Spartans. That game will begin shortly, and you can just switch tabs to enjoy all the coverage of that match. Cheers!
Tushar Raheja is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fabulous knock.
Presentation Time...
Trichy Grand Cholas will be disappointed with their overall showing, as they came up short in all departments. Their bowlers failed to strike early and leaked runs up front, which put them on the back foot straightaway. Although they managed to regain some control during the middle overs, the early damage had already tilted the game firmly in ITT’s favour. Impact Player K Easwaran picked up two wickets, and Sanjay Yadav, who impressed with the bat, also chipped in with a wicket - the few positives from an otherwise forgettable outing.
Earlier in the match, Trichy Grand Cholas managed to put up a competitive total, thanks largely to a determined half-century from Sanjay Yadav and a few handy contributions from others around him. Mohan Prasath led the charge with the ball for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, picking up two crucial wickets, while T Natarajan, Sai Kishore, and Ragupathy Silambarasan each chipped in with one apiece to keep things in check.
Tushar Raheja stole the spotlight once again with a stunning display of batting for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. After a watchful start, he shifted gears and took the attack to the bowlers, never looking back. The Tamizhans piled on over 70 runs in the Powerplay, effectively sealing the fate of the chase early on. Raheja hammered a brilliant 80 off just 36 balls, setting the perfect platform. Following his dismissal, Mohamed Ali and Pradosh Ranjan Paul kept their cool, stitched together a solid partnership of over 50 runs, and ensured there were no slip-ups, guiding ITT home with seven balls to spare.
A dominant all-round show from IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans! They were on top right from the word go and never let Trichy Grand Cholas settle into the contest. While the Cholas did have a few brief moments, they never truly looked like challenging the Tamizhans, who cruised to a convincing win. TGC, meanwhile, remains winless and will be desperate to turn things around.
