That's it from the NPR college ground in Natham, Dindigul. We will be back for the Live commentary from the Lyca Kovai Kings vs Ruby Trichy Warriors tomorrow. Till then, this is Vignesh Ananthasubramanian signing off from Dindigul.
That's it. Dindigul Dragons beat VB Kanchi Veerans by seven wickets. A clinical performance by the home team today. With this, the have three wins in four matches.
11 runs, including a huge six that went outside the stadium, were taken in the 17th over bowled by Aushik Srinivas. This brings the equation down to 26 runs off 18 balls.
N Jagadeesan started off the over with a huge six over mid-wicket before Sanjay Yadav had the last laugh as he had Jaggi stumped leaving Dragons needing 37 to win from the last four overs.
Sunil Sam returns and strikes straightaway! What a catch! The 19-year-old wicketkeeper S Lokeshwar puts in a full-stretched dive to his left and held on to a brilliant catch to dismiss B Anirudh.
N Jagadeesan finally gets going as he hit a six off the last ball of the 13th over bowled by S Ashwath. Dragons need more of such shots from their skipper.
Yet another brilliant over from Aushik Srinivas, who concedes just three runs off the 10th over. Both Jagadeesan and Anirudh should get a move on here.
OUCH!!! What a way to get out! A full-toss from Aushik Srinivas and Nishaanth tried to clobber it for a six and ended up finding B Aparajith at the deep mid-wicket fence.
C Hari Nishaanth c B Aparajith b Aushik Srinivas 50 (33)
Just three runs were scored off the first five balls before a misfield from Silambarasan led to a boundary off the last ball. Seven runs came off the seventh over.
The Dindigul Dragons are off to a steady start in the first four overs as C Hari Nishaanth has raced to 25 off just 16 balls. N Jagadeesan is getting his eye in and will look to explode anytime soon.
VB Kanchi Veerans will feel confident after posting a total in excess of 160, especially after the start they got. Hari Nishaanth and N Jagadeesan come out to bat for Dindigul Dragons.
After losing four wickets inside the first six overs, Mokit Hariharan and Francis Rokins scored 77* and 64* respectively to take their team to a decent position.
J Kaushik into the attack and he concedes eight runs off the 18th over, thanks to a huge six from Francis Rokins that almost had the Star Sports Tamil commentary box.
A decent over for VBKV, getting 7 off it. Mokit looks to be in good touch as well, hitting a boundary. These two batsmen have got VBKV back into the game in style.
Yet another good over in which just three runs were conceded. Veerans are going at just over 4 runs per over and they need to start scoring runs, at least keep rotating the strike, in a bid to score in excess of 120.
Pathetic batting by VB Kanchi Veerans as Subramania Siva, facing his second ball in the innings, went for a wild slog and ended up getting caught by R Vivek at long-on. The coach will be furious with the way he got out.
J Kaushik comes into the attack and is welcomed by a six over the point fielder off his first ball. He came back brilliantly as he conceded just two runs off his next five balls. VBKV 22/2 after 5overs
Aparajith gone. He went for a wild slog and ended up getting the top-edge. he ball went up high in the air and Yazh Arun Mozhi pocketed it safely at mid-on.
Vishal Vaidya took off for a quick single after hitting the ball to the covers where R Silambarasan collected the ball and threw it directly at the stumps in the non-striker's end. Worst possible start for Veerans.
