Srikkanth Anirudha | Karaikudi Kaalai captain and Player of the Match: Our fielding could have been better, my keeping could have been a lot better. Catches win matches, had we taken our chances, we could have won it quite comfortably. I was just thinking 'two hits' and it happened. Haven't played golf for a while; it came in handy, hitting the ball extremely hard now.

Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore | Ruby Trichy Warriors captain: We gave 20 runs extra. Vijay played a good innings to get us here. He's a legend and played really well. I couldn't defend in the Super Over, pretty angry with myself. I take full responsibility for the loss. We played as a team, everyone gave 100% which is a good sign.

19:02 Local Time: The Karaikudi Kaalai players barge into the field in celebration. The climax turned out to be the battle between the skippers and it was Srikkanth Anirudha who won it convincingly with two big sixes. Sai Kishore wanted to bowl very quick and ended up doling out two freebies to his counterpart.

Ball 4: Sai Kishore to Anirudha, SIX, the skipper finishes off in style. Another one on the shorter side from Sai Kishore, Anirudha absolutely muscled the heave over deep mid-wicket. A mighty strike and Karaikudi Kaalai have won it. 13-0

Ball 1: Sai Kishore to Rajkumar, no run, back of a length delivery, into the pitch, the right-hander backed away to heave across the line, failed to make contact. 0-0

Karaikudi Kaalai will win this match if Super Over ends in a tie as they have hit more boundaries. So, technically the Kaalais need just 11 to win against Trichy's 11. Srikkanth Anirudha and R Rajkumar are the batsmen making their way out to the middle. Skipper Sai Kishore to bowl.

Ball 6: Sunil Sam to Murali Vijay, 2 runs and run-out! Another low full toss, Vijay heaved it to the right of long-on and raced back for the second run. The throw came to the bowler's end and missed the target. The batsmen decided to nab another run, but Vijay couldn't make his ground at the bowler's end. 11-2

Ball 3: Sunil Sam to Chandrasekar Ganapathy, OUT! A low full toss, Ganapathy toe-ends the lofted off-drive and Mohan treks back at mid-off to complete the catch. 3-1

Ball 2: Sunil Sam to Murali Vijay, 1 run, high full toss, Vijay throws the kitchen sink and carves it through the covers. He asks if it's above-waist, nothing from the umpire. Just a single, poor running. 3-0

Ball 1: Sunil Sam to Murali Vijay, 2 runs, low full toss, Vijay inside-halves the heave to deep square leg. 2-0

Trichy will bat first in the Super Over. Who will bowl for Karaikudi? Sunil Sam, it is. Murali Vijay and Chandrasekar Ganapathy are out in the middle. The former is on strike. Here we go..

Gee, this game has had everything. How crucial was that denied run from Murali Vijay in the penultimate over before he got out next ball? Trichy should have won this comfortably. Karaikudi have somehow managed to sneak through to tie the game. Vijay, who was very sedate for a good part of the chase, upped the ante and hit boundaries at will. It looked like he'd finish the game with 3-4 balls to spare at least, but he mis-hit one and Ganapathy, known for his striking, too was out next ball. Sai Kishore swung and missed thrice in the final over and that cost Trichy a straightforward victory.

Rajkumar to Sai Kishore, 2 runs, driven down the ground, Mani Bharathi is running to the bowler's end, Sai Kishore dives and is home before the keeper took the bails off. It's a Super Over

Two will be a Super Over

Rajkumar to Mani Bharathi, 1 run, edged but Anirudha dives to his right and stopped the ball, it went along the ground, the keeper did very well to save three runs
