Man of the Match
Rajendran Vivek
Commentry
That's it from this game then! TNPL action continues on Tuesday. It is a clash between Madurai and Trichy. That game begins at 1915 IST (1345 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Rajendran Vivek has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
The Dragons weren't at their best with the ball! Especially the likes of Diran and Kishoor. The fifth bowler cost them runs and that is where the game drifted away from them. Also, they'll be disappointed the big names couldn't get more wickets for them. They were just outplayed in this game.
Game, set and match and that is a brilliant run chase by SKM Salem Spartans! The start was slow but they did not lose a wicket. However, when they looked to accelerate, they lost Abishiek Selvakumar. Then came the stand which took them ahead in the game. The stand between Kavin and Vivek. The two batted bravely and took on the bowlers and smashed them to all the parts. Kavin fell but Vivek ensured he took his side over the line with a fine innings.
