The Presentation ceremony…
Earlier in the innings, we saw the Siechem Madurai Panthers struggling in the initial overs losing many wickets in the process. However, the batters lower down the order took the onslaught to the bowlers. Sri Abisek, Uthirasamy Sasidev, and Swapnil Singh batted brilliantly and added a lot of runs to the board. The bowlers did well in the middle overs but couldn’t keep the pressure on towards the death. Ajay Chetan was the star for the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans with his three wickets. Amith Sathvik V P shone in the field with his three stunning catches.
The Siechem Madurai Panthers had a great start to their innings. Gurjapneet Singh and L Kiran Akash struck early to dismiss the openers. However they were put under attack by the next two batters. It was the spin magic of Murugan Ashwin which saved them and he got 4 quick wickets. However, their poor bowling and fielding didn’t help their side. The bowlers tried hard but the batters were sensible enough to not take any further risks. They failed to defend the total and an extra 10-15 runs in the first innings might have helped their side.
The IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans had a shaky start to their innings as they lost two quick wickets. However, Amith Sathvik V P and B Anirudh Sita Ram, the impact player stabilized the innings and put up a great stand. They got their team ahead of the required run rate but after their wickets, they again fell behind the eight-ball mark. S Mohamed Ali and Sai Kishore again had the responsibility of releasing the pressure. The explosive batting in the middle overs helped their team not be under immense pressure when wickets fell. That helped them stay ahead of the run rate and in a comfortable position. With the finishing shot by S Mohamed Ali they earned themselves the first points in this season.
S Mohamed Ali deals the knockout blow to the Siechem Madurai Panthers and gets his team their first victory of the season. That was a brilliant batting performance by the middle order of IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to get themselves over the finish line.

On a length around the pads, Mathivannan M looks for the push and run but the ball was too close to the bowler on his follow-through.

On a length around off, Mathivannan M guides this towards dee third and runs a couple. Another poor effort in the field as this should have been just one.

It keeps getting worse for the fielding side. Pitched up around middle and leg, S Mohamed Ali gets an inside edge on his pads and rolls near the imaginary silly point. Gurjapneet Singh fields this off his bowling and throws at the non-striking end but misses by a mile. The batters run one. What should have been a wicket turns into a single for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans.

Siechem Madurai Panthers are having a bad day in the field as they gift another extra run. On a length around the pads, S Mohamed Ali blocks this away for one but a poor throw at the non-strikers end gifts the batting side an extra run.
