Milestone
That's all we have for you from this fixture. Madurai Panthers were too good for Kovai Kings. Apart from Shahrukh Khan, none of the batters from the Kings turned up tonight and they lost the momentum in the first half. R Arvind and B Anirudh's opening stand of 88 took the game away from the Kings as they were always behind the 8-ball after that.
For now this is Ajay Pal Singh, signing off on behalf of my colleagues Arijit Kundu, Deepak Prakash, Paras Yadav. Goodnight.

NS Chaturved (SMP Captain): "Very happy today. Collective effort from our team - batting, bowling, and fielding. Great batting on a difficult wicket from us. Communication from the support staff about the wickets have been effective, helping us win the game today."
R Arvindh (POTM): "It was an important game for the team moving forward, glad I could contribute to the win.
The wicket was helping the spinners; they were bowling at a good pace. I just wanted to take my chances and it paid off."

Time for the post-match presentation...
Shahrukh Khan: "We had a good start. I think 169 was a good total, but we failed to take some catches. The wicket is slow and yes, definitely, 169 was a good total. Still, it's not that we are out of the tournament. We are in the tournament. We will try to come back from here. Nothing, the plan is simple. We are a process-oriented team, and we would want to stick to that going forward."

6 SIX RUNS!!!! Chaturved finishes things off in style!!! Full and tossed up outside off. Chaturved gets down on a knee and slogs it across the line. Gets it from the meaty part of his willow and the ball goes flying over deep mid wicket for a maximum. A 7-wicket thumping win for Madurai.
