Lyca Kovai Kings beat SKM Salem Spartans by 1 wicket
That is it from this game then! Another one follows and it is a big one,a clash between Trichy Grand Cholas and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans for the final spot left. That game will begin shortly, till then take care and goodbye!
Shahrukh Khan has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH!
Lyca Kovai Kings were in control for most parts of this gae. Yes, they lost a wicket early but after that, they managed to put up small partnerships which kept them ahead in the game. Shahrukh Khan then playd the innings which completely took the game away from SKM Salem Spartans! M Poiyamozhi though bowled a brilliant spell. He got 4 wickets in which he got the big one of Sharukh Khan. From nowhere, he got them back into the game but M. Siddharth held his nerve and took his side over the line.
What a game of cricket! That went right down to the wire. Who thought it would get so tense when Shahrukh Khan was hitting those sixes but they lost wickets in heaps and just the one wicket was remaining with them needing two. It was Lyca Kovai Kings though who held their nerve in the end and have come out on top.

FOUR! Off the outside edge and it goes down to the third man fence. It is Lyca Kovai Kings who come out on top! Outside off, M. Siddharth looks to cut but this flies off the outside edge and it goes down to the third man fence
Scores are level. An opportunity was there had the fielder hit the stumps on the striker's end but he missed. The keeper has come up to the stumps, but is this a good decision by him as a tailender is likely to throw his bat at it and an edge is never far away? Let's see what unfolds on the final delivery.

SCORES LEVEL! The single is taken. Length and around off, Jhatavedh Subramanyan plays it towards point and takes off. The fielder runs in, picks the ball and has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. M. Siddharth would have been in though. 1 needed in 1. Super Over anyone?
2 needed off the last 2 and SKM Salem Spartans will now feel they have a firm grip on proceedings.

BEATEN! Length and outside off, Jhatavedh Subramanyan looks to drive but misses. 2 in 2 now.
2 runs are still needed but now off just 3 balls. It is right on the knife edge.

On middle, length, this is worked to mid-wicket.
19.2
.
Around off, good length, this is driven to cover but the fielder is quite close so no chance of a run.
Jhatavedh Subramanyan walks out last to bat. Just 2 runs needed off the last 5 balls and Lyca Kovai Kings have just 1 wicket in the kitty.
OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, this is nail-bitting stuff. A run out and the drama continues. Still 2 needed and just the one wicket in hand. The last man is on strike too. This is full and outside off, it is driven through covers. They take one. Valliappan Yudheeswaran looks to go for the second. He turns and takes off but is sent back. The throw is to the keeper who takes the bails off. It is taken upstairs and replays show that the dive does not save him.

What a brilliant finish we have on our hands. Just 1 run came off the 19th and Lyca Kovai Kings now needs 3 off the last 6 balls. What will happen next? A mix-up, a big hit, or a wicket? Let's find out. Sunny Sandhu will bowl the final over.
