Madurai Panthers vs Dindigul Dragons, 2nd Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - HighlightsMADURAI vs DGD, 2nd Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - Highlights

Ashwin to J Kousik, SIX, what a hit to finish things! The switch hit from Kousik and he clears third man with ease. The straighter one from Ashwin and it's been put away by Kousik who showed tremendous reflexes to connect it. Ensures a good flourish to the innings

Ashwin to Abhishek Tanwar, out Caught by Mohan Abhinav!! Second wicket in the over for Ashwin. His third scalp overall. Quicker one outside off, Tanwar tried to flat-bat it but ended up skewing it towards cover. Two fielders were going converge on it but Abhinav called for it and took it with ease. Abhishek Tanwar c Mohan Abhinav b Ashwin 7(5) [6s-1]

Ashwin to Abhishek Tanwar, SIX, smoked away! Tanwar has no issues hitting against the wind. Floated up around middle and leg, he gets across a bit and slog sweeps it comfortably over deep square leg. Lovely hit

Ashwin to Shijit Chandran, out Caught by M Mohammed!! Holes out to deep mid-wicket. Was tossed up generously by Ashwin and Chandran went for the slog. Hitting against the wind was always going to be a tough ask and he finds the fielder in the deep. Good start to the final over for the bowling side. Shijit Chandran c M Mohammed b Ashwin 35(20) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ramalingam Rohit to Shijit Chandran, 3 runs, dropped! Dragons' catching woes continue. Went high in the air at sweeper cover and Vivek never looked like getting under it. Eventually lunged forward but messed it up. Luckily for him, it slowed down inside the ropes, the batsmen ran three though. Fuller ball that was lifted high over the covers. What should have been taken, bleeds runs

Adithya Arun to Shijit Chandran, SIX, there is no stopping Chandran. Fuller ball well wide outside off, he made room to launch it inside out over extra cover. Knew that he was hitting with the wind and that helped him to clear the ropes

Adithya Arun to SP Nathan, out Caught by Hari Nishanth!! Gone this time! No fireworks from Nathan tonight. Low full toss, he went for the slog but couldn't get the distance on the stroke. Lot of height on it and Nishanth settles under it at long-on after a slight initial fumble. SP Nathan c Hari Nishanth b Adithya Arun 3(6)

Ramalingam Rohit to Shijit Chandran, FOUR, Chandran is effortlessly finding the fence. He knew that square leg is in the ring and manipulated the field accordingly. Good length ball well outside off, he shuffled across the sticks and helped it through backward square leg

Ashwin to Arun Karthik, out Caught by Ramalingam Rohit!! Gone this time! So, the drop doesn't cost the Dragons much. Flatter and skidding in from a shorter length, Karthik went for a big pull but could only mistime it to deep mid-wicket. Rohit is the man there and he shows his mate how it's done by pouching it with ease. Huge wicket. Ends a superb knock from Karthik. Ashwin has an animated chat with his boys in a huddle. Arun Karthik c Ramalingam Rohit b Ashwin 61(44) [4s-6 6s-2]

Ashwin to Arun Karthik, 2 runs, dropped! Arun the culprit at short third man. Ashwin just cannot believe it. What's worse is that there is an overthrow that leaks an extra run apart from the single taken at the time of the drop. Was the fastish off cutter and Karthik got a leading edge on the heave. Should have been taken but gets lucky. Dragons were sloppy last game with their catching and don't seem to have learnt their lesson

M Mohammed to Arun Karthik, FOUR, hammered away! Mohammed misses the wide yorker and doles out a full toss. Karthik reaches out to lift it comfortably over extra cover. No protection in the deep there

M Mohammed to Shijit Chandran, FOUR, deft touch from Chandran. Nothing much wrong with this ball, wide yorker but he ensures that he opens the bat face very late. Gets it very fine to the third man fence. There was a fielder there but was squarer

M Mohammed to Shijit Chandran, FOUR, slammed away. Chandran is off and running. Slower bouncer, he picks it early and smashes the pull to the deep mid-wicket fence. Ensured that he got it wide of the fielder near the fence

Mohan Abhinav to Sargunam, wide, out Stumped!! Clever from Abhinav! He did concede a big six off the first ball and knew that Sargunam would try it again, so dragged this well wide outside off. It was slightly flatter too and Sargunam couldn't reach it after walking down the track. Easiest of stumpings for Jagadeesan. Timely breakthrough for the Dragons. They need to keep chipping away at the wickets. Sargunam st N Jagadeesan b Mohan Abhinav 26(26) [6s-2]

Mohan Abhinav to Sargunam, SIX, what a huge hit! That's gone way into the stands. Loopy leg break, Sargunam danced down the track and chose the safest spot on the ground - straight and he mauled it. Sheer power from Sargunam. Brings up the 50-run stand

Mohan Abhinav to Arun Karthik, SIX, smeared over long-on! Much straighter this time and it's fifty for Karthik! It's the first half century by a batsman in this season. Floated up around middle, he went for the straight drilled stroke and powered it away

Mohan Abhinav to Sargunam, SIX, connects this time and it's biggggggggggg! Loopy leg break wider outside off, tempts Sargunam into the slog sweep and uses his reach to send it deep over the long-on fence

Adithya Arun to Arun Karthik, FOUR, clubbed away! There is a man at long-on but this was placed well wide of him and hit really hard. Fuller ball well outside off, Karthik drags it with a strong bottom hand to propel it to the fence

Adithya Arun to Arun Karthik, FOUR, poor effort from Vivek at long-on, raced to his right and should have put in a dive but instead tried stopping with his feet. Not surprisingly, let it through for a boundary. Short of a length ball outside off, Karthik muscles the pull with a lot of power. Gets a bonus boundary

Ramalingam Rohit to D Rohit, out Bowled!! Got him! Much needed breakthrough for the Dragons because these two were threatening to run away with things. Rohit gets Rohit. Excellent yorker, the Panthers' skipper wanted to go across the line but realized very late that he cannot. Ends up playing all around it, finds his stumps disturbed. Fiery start but this wicket might just slow things down. D Rohit b Ramalingam Rohit 24(16) [4s-2 6s-2]

Ramalingam Rohit to D Rohit, FOUR, streaky runs. It's all going the Panthers' way at the moment. Fuller ball around off, Rohit wanted to hit across the line but this trickled off a thick inside edge to the fine leg fence. 50 up in a flash for the Panthers

Trilok Nag to Arun Karthik, FOUR, both batsmen are having a ball at the moment, looking ominous. Nag misses the yorker and it's a widish low full toss, Karthik slaps it hard down the ground, beating mid-off with ease

Trilok Nag to D Rohit, SIX, there he goes again! Nag hasn't started well and is bleeding sixes. Short and wide, similar to the previous ball and Rohit repeats the upper cut. Slashed harder this time and went deeper over the point fence

Trilok Nag to D Rohit, SIX, carved away! Short and wide outside off, Rohit didn't bother keeping it down as he went for the upper cut. Terrific connection to send it over deep backward point

M Mohammed to Arun Karthik, FOUR, drilled away! Slower ball too many from Mohammed, Karthik picks it early and powers it wide of the man at mid-on who could barely move across

M Mohammed to Arun Karthik, SIX, drop-kicked over the fence! Effortless stuff from Karthik. Got one angled into the pads and he nonchalantly chipped it over square leg with his wristy bottom hand. Hit it with the wind and that helped his cause as well

Ramalingam Rohit to Arun Karthik, FOUR, crashed away! This time the deep mid-wicket fielder couldn't do much as it sped away past him. Short again but not high enough to threaten Karthik who nailed the pull with more power this time

M Mohammed to D Rohit, FOUR, chipped over extra cover! Nice touch play from Rohit, it wasn't a half volley but he leant into nicely before lifting it well wide of the man at mid-off. Just wanted to get it over the infield and did so with ease
