Commentary

It's been a one way street this morning, and we hope the second semi final is a more competitive one. Tamil Nadu have booked one slot, and for the other one, it will be Karnataka battling it out with Vidarbha. The second semi final will start at 1 pm IST, so don't forget to join us then! That's it from this game, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, bringing it to you. Along with my fellow textpert, Sooryanarayanan Sesha, I have been Ankit Sharma, as I bid you a goodbye! Do take care and stay safe!

A pretty one sided affair, and a pretty comfortable chase it has been for Tamil Nadu. They march onto their third consecutive final, and will be aiming for a second trophy in as many years. They've outplayed their opposition today, and gave nothing away, with ball or with bat. They started off in a perfect manner, with Saravana Kumar picking up 4 wickets in the powerplay, a blow that was too brutal to recover from.

The bowlers did their job well, as they restricting the awestruck batting unit of Hyderabad for just 90, and bowled them out inside 19 overs. For a stellar batting order as the one Tamil Nadu have, chasing 91 would never have been a big task, and they've shown it just why. They might have taken their own sweet time to chase this down, as they took it into the 15th over, but they played to what the game required.

Hyderabad did not go down without a fight. Rakkhsann Readdi picked up a couple of early wickets, in his second over, and sent both the threatening openers back into the hut within 3 deliveries. Jagadeesan had faced only a couple of deliveries till then, and picked up a run, but he was undone by the slower one, that he edged to slip.

His partner in crime, Hari Nishaant was off to a flier, with a maximum and a boundary, to show intent, and the way he is going to go about the chase. He was next to depart, after a quickfire dozen runs on the board. He wanted to chase this down quickly, as it was seen with his intent, but he'll have to make it up in the finals!

Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar had the onus to steady the ship, and calm things down, out in the middle. Both did exactly that, as they took a few deliveries to settle in, get a feel of the pitch, and then open up to a few strokes here and there to pick up the ones and twos. The benefit they had, was that they had no scoreboard pressure to deal with, making things easier for them.

The spinners came into the attack, and tried to force a wicket, but both the batter's played some smart shots, to ensure no further wickets fall, and Tamil Nadu ease through that win. Shankar did display a couple of swanky shots at the end to seal the deal, but that was only because he was settled and he got a couple of nice pacy short balls.

Barring Readdi, no other bowlers managed to trouble the Tamil Nadu batters today. In all fairness, the bowlers cannot be blamed, as they did not have enough runs on the board to play with. It was always going to be Tamil Nadu's game today, unless they replicate Hyderabad's batting efforts, which would have been shameful.

Nevertheless, Tamil Nadu do pull through, comfortably as well, and will wait to see who joins them in the finals.

So much for not taking charge, and not going after the bowlers. Vijay Shankar was waiting for some pace, that's all. Readdi charges in and Shankar goes after him. A boundary through deep mid wicket, and a maximum, over backwards square leg to clinch the game. Tamil Nadu book their place in the final, and will have a chance at becoming back to back champions.

15.0

14.2 Rakshann Readdi to Vijay Shankar, SIX! SHANKAR FINISHES IT OFF IN STYLE! Shorter this time and angled into middle and leg, he lifts his front foot and helps it with the bounce over long leg as the ball just clears the ropes. Barely a reaction from the TN skipper - it has been that comprehensive a victory for the defending champions. Tamil Nadu beat Hyderabad by 8 wickets to make their third consecutive Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final!

14.1 Rakshann Readdi to Vijay Shankar, FOUR! PUMPED OVER MID-WICKET! Short of a length at the stumps, the skipper stands tall for a short-arm pull over mid-wicket to pick out the vacant real estate in the deep. Just one hit away now are Tamil Nadu!

Rakshann Readdi (3.0-0-13-2), right arm medium, comes back into the attack

Running between the wickets is how Sudharsan and Shankar prefer to chase this down. Neither of them interested in going big, and losing a wicket if they micue it. Nothing to rush about, as the finish line is within touching distance. Tamil Nadu need 9 runs to win from 36 deliveries.

13.6 Bavanaka Sandeep to B Sai Sudharsan, on a good length that drifts into the off-stump, Sudharsan rocks back to knock it along the ground towards silly mid-on.

13.5 Bavanaka Sandeep to Vijay Shankar, another slider on a good length on middle and leg, Shankar camps back to knock it down to long on as he crosses over.

13.4 Bavanaka Sandeep to Vijay Shankar, with the arm around the wicket and drifting into the stumps, Shankar rocks back to work it through mid-wicket before tearing back to his end for the second.

13.3 Bavanaka Sandeep to B Sai Sudharsan, too short but spinning into the batter from just outside off, Sudharsan hangs back and nudges it square on the leg-side for a single.

13.2 Bavanaka Sandeep to Vijay Shankar, quicker on a length outside off, Shankar stands his ground to cream it towards deep point for a single.

13.1 Bavanaka Sandeep to B Sai Sudharsan, with the arm and full on middle and leg, Sudharsan lunges forward to turn it off his wrists towards backward square leg for one.

Bavanaka Sandeep, left arm orthodox, comes into the attack

No big shots this time, as the two batter's pick up just four singles from the over. They are within touching distance of the target here, and could be tempted to finish this in a hurry. Both have done well to build a good partnership, after losing two quick wickets. These two should see the game through from here now!
