Ruby Trichy Warriors vs Madurai Panthers, 16th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

We are done and dusted with another thriller here at the TNPL. Some breathtaking action and at the end of it, Madurai have picked up their second win after two losses. Trichy though continue to be winless. Until next time, goodbye!

Shijit Chandran: The credit goes to the fast bowlers. We have missed a few key players. It is important for a few of our players to take more responsibility.

Sai Kishore: Obviously I am disappointed. Pretty happy with the effort but not with the result. It was very inspiring for us to have Vijay in the side. We should learn a lot from him. Winning and losing is in the mindset. Today, we lost. We need to move on now. We should have scored more. We bowled short and that I feel cost us the match.

Abhishek Tanwar, Man of the Match: Pretty happy to have picked two wickets in the super over. I have been bowling well. Was disappointed not having used the two balls in the super over.

Trichy have once again lost in the super over. Their second defeat in the one over decider in this season. Heartbreaking indeed. The superstars of their respective sides - Arun Karthik and Murali Vijay - got out for blobs in the super over. That evened out things. But it were the heroics of Abhishek Tanwar which saw Madurai pipping the Trichy Warriors. Needing 13 to win in the super over, Trichy lost Vijay off the second ball and that kind of killed the chase. Earlier, Abhishek Tanwar belted two sixes to get 12 on the board for Madurai in the one over eliminator.

Ball 6: Abhishek Tanwar to Mani Bharathi, OUT, caught by Rahil Shah, low full toss and it went straight down the throat of the man at long-off. Abhishek Tanwar has done it in the super over for Madurai. Two sixes and now two wickets

Ball 5: Abhishek Tanwar to Adithya Ganesh, 1 run, slams the length delivery away and gets it down to deep mid for a single. Madurai are already celebrating. 10 needed now

Ball 4: Abhishek Tanwar to Mani Bharathi, 1 run, that was full and was bunted down to long-off. Only a single. Adithya wanted a second but was sent back. 11 needed now. Getting tougher

Ball 3: Abhishek Tanwar to Adithya Ganesh, 1 run, short ball and has been pulled away to deep mid for a single. Bowled to his plan and kept it short as the man at mid-on was in

Adithya Ganesh is the new man in. Still 13 to win. Huge task now for Trichy.

Ball 2: Abhishek Tanwar to Murali Vijay, OUT, caught by Mithun, whatta catch under pressure. That was wide and on a length, Vijay slammed the ball on the up but found the man at deep cover. He timed it well but found the fielder. Big wicket

Ball 1: Abhishek Tanwar to Murali Vijay, DOT, length delivery outside off and Vijay looks to heave it but misses outside off

Trichy will have Murali Vijay batting for sure. He rushed off after taking the catch. Who will bowl for Madurai? Arun Karthik was the first one out for Madurai with his keeping gloves on. Mani Bharathi will open alongside Vijay. Abhishek Tanwar will bowl.

Ball 4: Saravan Kumar to Abhishek Tanwar, OUT, caught by Vijay, was a length delivery and Abhishek toe-ended it for the ball to go straight up. Vijay at mid-off took an easy catch. 13 for Trichy to win this

Ball 3: Saravan Kumar to Abhishek Tanwar, SIX, length delivery and has disappeared. Was in the slot and Abhishek slammed it over deep mid. 12 already. Abhishek is all pumped up

Ball 2: Saravan Kumar to Abhishek Tanwar, SIX, looks to pull, gets a top-edge and the ball goes over deep fine leg for a sixer. Lucky but Abhishek will take it. J Kousik is the new man in

Ball 1: Saravan Kumar to Karthik, OUT, caught by S. Arvind, and the big man goes. Looks to pull and slams it straight to the man at deep mid. Huge wicket here for Trichy. Second time they are featuring in a super over

Madurai will bat first. Karthik will take strike. Has Abhishek Tanwar for company.

Arun Karthik and Abhishek Tanwar are the two batters out there for Madurai.

The match looked dead and buried when Arun Karthik was screaming fours and sixes. But Trichy got back into this after that wicket. Some good bowling and fielding helped them to level this. J Kousik stayed till the end but failed to push them over the line. With 8 needed in the final over, MS Sanjay fought a little bit of dew and a lot of nerves to ensure the game is still in a stalemate state. Madurai will bat again.
