Lyca Kovai Kings skipper Shahrukh Khan won the toss and opted to bowl first. The Tamizhans got off to a solid start, scoring 56 at the end of the powerplay without losing a wicket.

Srikkanth Anirudha departed on 39 in the eighth over and his opening partner, S Aravind, was also dismissed on 27 in the 10th over. That led to a mini-collapse.

The Lyca Kovai Kings didn’t have the best of starts to the chase as they lost Ganga Sridhar Raju in the second over. Sai Sudharsan joined hands with J Suresh Kumar to start the recovery work. They played some excellent shots and the Tamizhans failed to create further in-roads.

Kumar and Sudharsan remained unbeaten on 83 and 68 respectively to help them chase down the total in the 16th over for a nine-wicket win. The Tamizhans didn’t have any answers to the pair as they failed to defend the total.
