Lyca Kovai Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, 16th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Abhishek Tanwar to Crist, FOUR, the boundary comes because of Abhishek Tanwar's poor execution. Short and slower outside off, with short third inside the ring, Crist slashes and gets it over the fielder inside the ring

R Divakar to Rajkumar, FOUR, smashed. Rajkumar gets outside off and picks the slower delivery, long-on is very wide and Rajkumar hit it well wide of him

R Divakar to A Karuppusamy, out Caught by N Selva Kumaran!! The wide line working for a pumped-up R Divakar. Slower and shorter outside off, A Karuppusamy can only get a thick edge on the cut, lobs to short third. A Karuppusamy c N Selva Kumaran b R Divakar 4(2) [4s-1]

R Divakar to A Karuppusamy, FOUR, thumped. Low full-toss on the stumps, A Karuppusamy stays deep and swings it wide of deep mid-wicket. Good start

R Divakar to M Mohammed, out Caught by S Ajith Ram!! Good catch. Two wickets in two balls. And M Mohammed is gone as well. A slower ball angled across full from round the wicket, M Mohammed almost got it all the way but long-off judges the catch well with his feet close to the cushions. M Mohammed c S Ajith Ram b R Divakar 33(25) [4s-2 6s-2]

Abhishek Tanwar to Francis Rokins, out Caught by Raju!! Caught on the second attempt. Full and Francis Rokins sliced the square drive, backward point took it on the second chance, End of a good knock. Abhishek Tanwar is a happy man. Francis Rokins c Raju b Abhishek Tanwar 38(27) [4s-2 6s-2]

Abhishek Tanwar to M Mohammed, FOUR, unlucky. Abhishek Tanwar goes very full outside off, M Mohammed throws his bat at that, the ball takes the inside edge and runs away beating short fine chasing

Abhishek Tanwar to Francis Rokins, FOUR, slashed away. Backs away and gives it all to this shortish ball. Over backward point

Raju to M Mohammed, SIX, 23 off the over. A big one for ITT. Raju keeps tossing them up and the batsmen are loving it. This time M Mohammed sits down and slog-sweeps into the wide long-on fence

Raju to Francis Rokins, SIX, consecutive sixes. This is a better shot. Was tossed up outside off, Francis Rokins drags the slog-sweep and manages to clear the deep mid-wicket fence. SRK looks a bit down

Raju to Francis Rokins, SIX, massive hit. Just massive. Right in the slot on the stumps, Francis Rokins swings it into the empty stands at wide long-on

R Divakar to M Mohammed, SIX, that's six all the way. The slower delivery on the stumps, M Mohammed sits down and heaves it way back into the mid-wicket stands. Cleared his front leg to muscle that

R Divakar to Francis Rokins, 1 run, good length on off and middle, clipped to deep square leg

R Divakar to M Mohammed, FOUR, poor ball and put away. Short fine inside and he digs it in short, M Mohammed swivels and pulls over the man

N Selva Kumaran to Francis Rokins, FOUR, top shot! Overpitched from Kumaran and Rokins makes a hint of room before launching it over extra cover. Sublime inside out stroke and a much-needed boundary for Tiruppur

U Mukilesh to M Rooban Raj, out Bowled!! The procession is well and truly on now! Raj falls for a golden duck. Sits back to one that was probably a touch fuller and it skids off the deck to beat his attempted defensive push. Timber! From nowhere, Tiruppur are now in danger of being reduced to a paltry score. They desperately need a partnership now. Still almost half the overs left in the tank. M Rooban Raj b U Mukilesh 0(1)

U Mukilesh to Maan Bafna, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! Another big strike! Both set batsmen gone in rather quick succession and Tiruppur have been dented big time here! Craftily bowled by Mukilesh, floated this up outside off, inviting the big shot and Bafna sliced this straight down towards long-off. Didn't get hold of it at all. The momentum has certainly flipped now in Lyca's favour. Maan Bafna c Shahrukh Khan b U Mukilesh 14(16) [4s-1]

S Ajith Ram to S Dinesh, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! Ram breaks the partnership! Soft dismissal for Dinesh and he should be kicking himself here. Was loopy and fuller around off stump, he reached out to chip this straight down long-off's throat. Wasn't even a full-blooded stroke, nor was it a chip stroke that was placed well. Has thrown it away and Lyca are certainly not complaining. They have an end to work with now. S Dinesh c Shahrukh Khan b S Ajith Ram 39(30) [4s-5 6s-1]

S Ajith Ram to S Dinesh, FOUR, great awareness from Dinesh! Knows that the shorter one is coming, sits back and cuts it away behind point. Nobody sweeping on that side and it's another boundary

S Ajith Ram to S Dinesh, FOUR, straight as an arrow! Ram bowls this flat and full, in the slot for Dinesh who launches it back over the bowler's head. Nicely done!

S Ajith Ram to S Dinesh, 1 run, flatter and outside off, Dinesh punches it off the back foot, just beating the extra cover fielder to his left. Slight hesitation between the batters, but they get the single eventually

V Yudheeswaran to S Dinesh, FOUR, this is sloppy fielding! Gifting away a boundary to the opposition. Was a fuller ball on middle and leg, Dinesh once again glanced it away but found the short fine leg perfectly this time. However, the man in the ring let it through his legs. Seems like the Kings are getting a bit edgy now

V Yudheeswaran to S Dinesh, no ball, FOUR, runs flowing for Tiruppur now! Dinesh gives the charge, gets one that is leg-lined and shorter, and pounces on it. Whips it away wide of the short fine leg fielder, beating him comfortably to his right. Now then, seems like Yudheeswaran has overstepped! Free-hit coming up!

V Yudheeswaran to Maan Bafna, FOUR, beautifully timed! Shortish and on the hips, Bafna shuffles to clip it away through the square leg region. Picks the gap and made a sweet connection to send it whistling away to the fence

N Selva Kumaran to S Dinesh, SIX, clean strike! Kumaran errs on the fuller side and Dinesh makes room to launch this over the wide long-off region. With mid-off up, it was always a percentage stroke and he made the perfect connection. Some momentum for Tiruppur now

V Yudheeswaran to S Dinesh, FOUR, much-needed for Dinesh and Tiruppur! A tad too straight in line and he picks this up over mid-wicket. Cleanly struck and it races away to the fence in no time

Abhishek Tanwar to S Siddharth, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! That's the end of Siddharth! Never really looked settled at the crease and with the way he was going hard at anything and everything, this was on the cards. Looks to go over mid-on with a cross-batted heave but this sticks on the deck a fraction from the shorter length, inducing the mishit. A dolly for Shahrukh who makes no mistake. S Siddharth c Shahrukh Khan b Abhishek Tanwar 11(11) [4s-1]

Abhishek Tanwar to S Siddharth, FOUR, belted away! Not all that full but Siddharth reaches out and thumps this on the up, connecting well and getting it wider of mid-off. Lovely stroke!
