Sundar's dream night - S Shyam Sundar walks away with the Player of the Match award after a sensational 104* off 57 balls. He was the glue that held the Cholas' innings together, featuring in five crucial partnerships, an aspect where Tiruppur's batting fell short and perhaps proved the difference between the two sides. A delighted Sundar reveals he only learned this morning that he was playing, but made sure he was prepared and focused when the opportunity arrived. He says scoring a hundred has always been something he visualised, making the achievement feel surreal, and admits he is still trying to take it all in. Sundar says he never chased milestones during his innings, preferring to stay in his zone and remain calm. He also reflects fondly on his time with the CSK setup, calling it a wonderful experience, and dedicates the success to his parents, family and friends for their unwavering support.

Gold dust with the ball - Athisayaraj Davidson and K Easwaran set the tone with an excellent new-ball spell before returning to deliver at the death. Sanjay Yadav's double strike in the 16th over proved equally pivotal, just when Tiruppur were beginning to sense momentum. The Cholas' attack took a few blows along the way, but when the pressure peaked, they found their radar and hit the right areas. Their fielding was another standout, with the Cholas holding on to everything that came their way. A complete effort when it mattered most.

Game of nerves -  Tiruppur's chase was largely a one-man show, with Tushar Raheja's superb knock and his century stand keeping them in the hunt. The Cholas were outstanding with the new ball, bowling so tightly that Tiruppur had to wait until the fifth over for their first boundary. At 38/2 after the Powerplay, the chase was already wobbling, but that big partnership suddenly swung the momentum Tiruppur's way. Just when the game seemed to be slipping, Trichy found another gear at the death, dismantling the chase and sealing their third straight win.

Cholas turn it around - A terrific chase seemed to be unfolding when Tushar Raheja and Pradosh Ranjan Paul put together a commanding 127-run stand. Tiruppur looked firmly in control, but the Cholas saved their best for the business end. The 15th over saw the departure of Tushar and then a couple of wickets fell in the 16th over, which included another set batter in Paul. The chase nosedived for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans from there and they fell short of the target.

The slower ball to finish it. A length delivery outside off, Prasath swings early and misses by some distance. That's it - Trichy Grand Cholas win by 17 runs.

Fuller and on off, Sasidev again uses his feet and pushes it to covers. The fielder fumbles and they cross.

Advances down the track and forces a full ball to wide long off, takes two runs.

No run. Swing and a miss! The batter swings hard at that one but does not connect.

SIX! Sasidev spots the opportunity and makes it count. A full delivery on middle sits right in the slot, and he swings cleanly through the line, sending it soaring over mid-wicket and beyond the boundary. Sai Kishore rises from the dugout to applaud the effort.

Around leg, Sasidev is early into the shot. It goes off his pads to the on side. Denies the run.

Leg bye, the batter looks to play that but is comprehensively beaten. It goes off his pads towards the keeper, to his right.

FOUR! Full and on middle, Uthirasamy Sasidev swings across the line, sends it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

32 needed off 8 balls. Can someone do a Rithik Easwaran?

1 run, that is pushed away for a single.

OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Athisayaraj Davidson seals another blow for the Cholas. Coming around the wicket with that awkward slinging action, he fires in a 127 kph yorker and Esakkimuthu Ayyakutti has no answer. He throws the bat down in an attempt to dig it out, but misses completely as the ball crashes into the stumps. The timber is shattered, and so are Tiruppur's hopes of pulling off this chase. Mohan Prasath is the new batter.

Full and wide outside off, Esakkimuthu Ayyakutti throws everything at it but misses.

1 run, the batter goes back in the crease and flicks it away through mid wicket for a single.

Swing and a miss. Length ball on middle and leg, Esakkimuthu Ayyakutti tries to heave but misses. Gets struck on the thigh pad. 8 runs from the over, 34 needed off 12 balls.

Esakkimuthu Ayyakutti comes in next.

OUT! LBW! Easwaran responds immediately! He goes full and straight, attacking the stumps, and Mathivannan is caught on the back foot as he looks to heave across the line. He misses completely and is struck flush on the pads. The finger goes up, and Tiruppur review the decision, but Ball Tracking returns three reds. No escape this time. The chase sees another wicket falling.

SIX! GOES THE DISTANCE! Could there be a twist in this chase? Easwaran takes pace off and serves it full on off, but Mathivannan M throws everything into the loft. He gets underneath it cleanly and clears long off with ease. A much-needed maximum for Tiruppur. 34 needed off 14 balls.

No run. Swing and a miss! The batter swings hard at that one but does not connect.

Mathivannan M arrives in the middle, 40 needed off 16 balls.

OUT! CAUGHT! The wheels are coming off rapidly for Tiruppur. Easwaran takes pace off with a back-of-the-hand delivery, landing it on a length around middle. Anovankar clears his front leg and swings hard across the line, but gets far more elevation than distance. Saravana Kumar settles under it at deep mid-wicket and completes the catch comfortably. Another wicket, and the chase is slipping away.

Fuller and on middle, sliced over covers for a couple.

Easwaran comes back to bowl at the death.

No run. Swing and a miss! The batter swings hard at that one but does not connect.

FOUR! SMASHED! Sasidev gets one right in his hitting arc, a touch too full on off. He stays in the crease and drives it firmly back past the bowler, sending it straight down the ground for another boundary in the over. Much cleaner contact this time. 42 needed off 19 balls.

1 run, the batter lofts this in the air and gets a run for the team.
