Commentary

That's all from us then! This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Bidipto Datta! See you soon!

Warriors 123/2 in 8.5 overs
Natarajan K 63*(20) | Megharajan 2/31
Marimuthu Vigneshwaram 51*(25)

What an unbelievable run chase from the Warriors and they have done it with an over to spare! Vignesh Marimuthu finished it off in style with a boundary and also brought up his 50 in the process! They didn't really get off to the most auspicious of starts as they were reeling at 32/2 after 4 overs but once Natarajan K came into the middle, he took control of the game and started a massive counter attack! The Warriors got their two experienced batters to put on a record partnership and it eventually got them over the line!

The Titans bowlers just couldn't come back in the game once Natarajan K started with his Bliztkreig! The only bowler who could take some wickets for them was Megharajan but he was expensive too as he went for 27 in his final over! The pick of the bowlers was perhaps Yogesh Kaushik as he escaped unscathed amidst the carnage!

Overall, this is a massive win for the Warriors and in a tight contest it was the team contributions that turned out to be game changing for them! The Titans had only one man, Surende B, scoring all the runs for them and they didn't have any contributions from the other end, that cost them in the end.

8.5 Mariyappan P to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, FOUR RUNS! AND THAT IS VICTORY TO WARRIORS! THEY MAKE THE SEMI-FINALS! Full outside off-stump. Vigneshwaran holds his shape and drives it firmly through the covers to find the gap and pick up the boundary!

8.5 Mariyappan P to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, full and slow outside off-stump but this is too WIDE, according to the umpire!

8.4 Mariyappan P to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, SIX MORE! Full toss around off-stump. Vigneshwaran goes down on one knee and slogs it over deep backward square-leg for a maximum!

8.3 Mariyappan P to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, fuller on off-stump. Scythed to deep cover from the front foot for a single.

8.2 Mariyappan P to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, SIX RUNS! Full toss on off-and-middle. Natarajan takes a couple of steps forward and slams it over the top and into the sight screen!

8.1 Mariyappan P to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, over the wicket, full and slow outside off-stump. The big heave across the line gets missed from inside the crease. Dot ball.

Meriyappan P [1.0-0-11-0] comes back into the attack.

Natarajan K completed his fifty with a six of the first ball of that over and that's exactly what the Warriors need at this stage! The run rate is down to below 10 runs per over and it should be easy for them from here on.

7.6 Yogesh Kaushik to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, good length ball on middle-stump. Natarajan puts the charge again on the bowler but does not find the gap past mid-off with his drive. One run only.

7.5 Yogesh Kaushik to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, really full on middle-stump. Driven down to mid-off from the back foot for another single here.

7.4 Yogesh Kaushik to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, fuller on leg-stump. Natarajan steps out and yorks himself. But he manages to drill it down to extra cover for a single.

7.3 Yogesh Kaushik to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, good length ball on middle-and-leg. Shoveled around to square-leg's right for a single from the crease.

7.2 Yogesh Kaushik to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, good length ball around off-stump. Thumped off the back foot to long-on for a single only.

50 for Natarajan K and this has been some innings from him! He has played the most decisive knock of the game so far.

7.1 Yogesh Kaushik to Natarajan Kuzhandaivelu, over the wicket, SIX! Short around off-stump. Flat-batted off the back foot by backing away and the ball carries all the way over the rope into the sight screen!

Yogesh Kaushik, [1.0-0-2-0] comes back into the attack.

The run feast continued in that over for the Warriors as Natarajan K was in no mood to spare Surender B! The required rate has gone down to below 10 now and the Warriors have the upper hand here.

6.6 Baskaran Surendar to Marimuthu Vigneshwaran, full and wide outside off-stump. Vigneshwaran shuffles across and tries a cute sweep shot but fails to put bat on ball. Dot ball.
