Madurai Panthers vs Chepauk Super Gillies, 3rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's that from the first game. The next one isn't too far away either. Switch tabs and catch all the action between Salem Spartans and Nellai Royal Kings. See you there!!

NS Chaturved, Madurai Panthers skipper: We wanted to strike early with the ball and we did more than expected, We have really good depth in our squad and everyone played their part. Really happy with the win tonight.

Balchander Anirudh, Player of the Match: I felt we started well, lost three quick wickets and then my role was stay till the end and rotate the strike. I play number three for this side and it is important to keep the momentum going. Lucky it came off in the first game itself.

Kaushik Gandhi, Chepauk Super Gillies skipper: We did bowl well and we did comeback well with the bat, but we were 20 runs short. It was more of a shot selection that was the concern in the powerplay and we will look to improve on that. We have a ten-day break and we have enough time to reflect on our mistakes and come back stronger.

18:44 local: The chase never looked in doubt. Not with the Panthers' number three - Balchander Anirudh - steering the ship with a well-compiled fifty that included 7 fours and a six. The rest of the batters played around Anirudh, and despite losing a few quick wickets around the 10th over mark, the required rate was always under control. The Super Gillies were at least 20-30 short on this track. Stay tuned for the presentations...
