Karaikudi Kaalai vs Madurai Panthers, 26th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Abhishek Tanwar to Mohan Prasath, out Mukumthan Run Out!! 1 run completed. Slower ball bumper, miscued pull to the left of long-on. There's a slight mix-up and the batters decide to take the second. The long-on fielder was quick to release the ball and it was accurate too at the bowler's end. Tanwar doesn't err and Mukumthan is well short of his ground. Mukumthan run out (Karthikeyan/Abhishek Tanwar) 6(8)

Abhishek Tanwar to Mohan Prasath, 2 runs, dropped! Slower delivery off the back of the hand and Prasath was early to chase it. Slices it off the outside edge and the extra cover fielder put it down after moving to his right from extra cover

Kiran Akash to Sunil Sam, out Caught by J Kousik!! Sunil Sam goes for another biggie and perishes. A length ball on the stumps, Sam went for a big hoick across the line. Only got height on it as it came off the toe-end of the bat. Kousik settles under it at deep midwicket and snaffles calmly. Sunil Sam c J Kousik b Kiran Akash 8(4) [6s-1]

N Selva Kumaran to Sunil Sam, SIX, with a big backlift, Sam thumps this overpitched delivery over long-off

N Selva Kumaran to S Ganesh, out Stumped!! Ganesh premeditatively comes down the track to play a big shot over the covers. The bowler saw that and smartly tossed it up outside off. The turn takes it further away from the right-hander and Ganesh had no chance of making contact. He was way out of his crease and the keeper was quick to take the bails off. S Ganesh st Nilesh Subramanian b N Selva Kumaran 14(16) [4s-1]

Kiran Akash to Ashwin Kumar, out Lbw!! Another one bites the dust. Full and attacking the sticks, Ashwin Kumar shuffles across and misses the flick. The impact was on leg and it would have gone down the leg-side. However, the umpire thought otherwise. Ashwin Kumar lbw b Kiran Akash 0(1)

Kiran Akash to S Ganesh, FOUR, fuller than a good length ball, Ganesh walks across and scoops it fine of the man at short fine leg

Kiran Akash to Ashwin Balaji, out Caught by J Kousik!! Slower ball, full and outside off, Ashwin Balaji throws his bat at it to go over covers. However, there's no timing on it and the left-handed batsman ends up slicing it off the outer part of the bat. Kousik takes a couple of steps backwards from backward point to gobble it up. Ashwin Balaji c J Kousik b Kiran Akash 11(12) [6s-1]

N Selva Kumaran to Ashwin Balaji, SIX, overpitched, Ashwin Balaji gets down on a knee and nails the slog-sweep over cow corner

Rahil to Shajahan, out Caught&Bowled!! Shajahan comes down the track to work it through the on-side and in the process closes his bat-face early. Manages only a leading edge that goes straight into the hands of the bowler in his followthrough. Shajahan c and b Rahil 6(15)

R Mithun to Shajahan, leg byes, FOUR, that was spinning away, lands outside leg, Shajahan pushes at it and misses. The ball kisses the pads and misses everything to run away past the keeper for a four

R Mithun to Yo Mahesh, out Stumped!! Another one bites the dust. That was angled across, Yo Mahesh pushed at it and was beaten on the outer edge. The back foot was dragged out and according to third umpire was on the line when the keeper whipped the bails off. Yo Mahesh shakes his head as he walks off. Yo Mahesh st Nilesh Subramanian b R Mithun 7(8)

Rahil to Aditya, out Caught by R Mithun!! Slogged across the line and has been taken at deep long-on. Dragged it from outside off but only managed to hit it to the man in the deep. The KK unit continue to slide. The pressue of a poor run rate got to him and he has thrown it away. Aditya c R Mithun b Rahil 14(25) [4s-1]

Rahil to Maan Bafna, out Lbw!! And after two dropped catches something goes in favour of Rahil. That was shortish outside off, Maan Bafna looked to drag it on the on-side and missed it. The impact was outside off and Maan Bafna despite that was given out. Maan Bafna lbw b Rahil 1(8)

N Selva Kumaran to Anirudha, out Bowled!! The ball goes off the pads and into the sticks. That was a flatter delivery, Anirudha looks to clip the ball away and misses for the ball to ricochet off the pads into the sticks. Huge wicket for Madurai. Anirudha b N Selva Kumaran 13(17) [4s-2]

Kiran Akash to Anirudha, FOUR, fuller delivery outside off and Anirudha lofted it away. Didn't time it and the ball held up for a while. Rahil Shah at mid-off ran back, flew and got to it. But the ball hit his hands and went away into the fence. Full marks for the effort

Abhishek Tanwar to Anirudha, FOUR, on a length and Anirudha spanks it down the ground. Was pitched up and Anirudha drove it away nicely

Kiran Akash to Aditya, FOUR, short, wide, Aditya gets on top of the bounce and crashes the ball through the off-side for a four. Poor delivery and put away with a lot of panache
