Commentary

That would be all from our side as we close our coverage of the second semi-final of the Kerala Cricket League 2024. For now, it's Sarbik Dutta signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Hiren Kumar and our Scorer/Analyst Dushyant Madhukar Kumar. See you soon!

Sachin Baby (Aries Kollam Sailors Captain): "First of all, I'll thank God. It was a very tough game. Credit to our bowlers for taking us over the line. The 2nd innings was not gripping as much as the first innings but we're happy that we could pull through.

Thrissur have a great batting line-up so we needed the extra cushion of runs and thankfully we got.
We've to play our best cricket tomorrow (in the final). Like I say, 1 more to go. Keep supporting us (to the fans) and we'll not let you down."

Varun Nayanar (Thrissur Titans Captain): "Superb effort from the players. No one thought we would reach here and it was great for us. Yeah, it was a good wicket to bat. It is part of the game. I think the RUNOUT changed the game for them. We have played some extremely good cricket. Thanks to KCA, Players and everyone. We will look to come back strongly in the next season. It was new experience for all of us."

Player of the Match: Abhishek J Nair

Welcome for the post match presentations.

It's Calicut Globstars vs Aries Kollam Sailors in the final of KCL T20 2024.

22:16 IST & Local Time | Aries Kollam Sailors restrict the Thrissur Titans to 194/8 and they win by 16 runs to reach the Final. They will take on the Calicut Globstars in the final.

A 200+ chase was never going to be easy in a semi-final but Vishnu Vinod got the Titans off to a great start in the powerplay. But the Sailors came back strong to take four quick wickets and get full control of the match.

Akshay Manohar and Varun Nayanar staged a strong comeback in the middle overs with a 69-run partnership but after Nayanar's run out it was all downhill for the Titans.

Basil NP with 3 wickets and Biju Narayanan with 2 wickets were the standout bowlers for the Sailors.

A late onslaught from Nidheesh bought the Titans close to the target but he ran out of partners. In the end, the Sailors had the last laugh as the Titans crashed out of the tournament.
