Time to conclude our coverage from the qualifier-1 of TNPL 2025. iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans have defeated the Chepauk Super Gillies by 79 runs to qualify for the final for the first time in the history. They will be back on Sunday for the summit clash and CSG will get another chance on Friday to qualify there.
Tomorrow at this venue, Dindigul Dragons will lock horns with Trichy Grand Cholas. The winner of that eliminator game will qualify for the qualifier-2 to play against CSG and the loser will get knocked out.
For now, this is Saptak Sanyal, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and our scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal. Good night.
Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore (iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Captain):"We are very happy. First final- means a lot for us. We are trying for 8-9 years. The wicket was good for batting. 170-180 was a good score here.
I am just reacting well to the ball and playing for the team to express myself at number 3. A team performance will give you a confidence any day. Our strength is that we play as an unit. Any team that has players who keep their ego aside, is always set to do something great.
Now we have four days before the final match. We will keep our body fresh for it."
Uthirasamy Sasidev (Player of the Match):"I am very happy to contribute. Not because of my fifty but because it came in winning cause. We lost two wickets and decided to see two overs after that. Our bowling was so good that we were confident of defending 185-190 too.
Team atmosphere is super. First time we qualified for the finals. We are happy."
