That's it from the coverage of this game. Join us back tomorrow for more cricketing actions across the globe and across formats,. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Soumarya Dutta alongside scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!  
Shahrukh Khan (Lyca Kovai Kings Captain): " Yes, feels good and follow the process. We were on the back foot but came back well with the ball. Nothing much. Powerplay, they scored a lot of runs. Middle overs we came back well and then did well in the death. Happy with it. The crowd always comes in huge numbers and hope to do well in the rest of the tournament."   
 B Sachin - "I had my plans in place and I tried to play accordingly. We tried to get a partnership going in our favor. There was no secret to my success and I just trusted and followed the process. Glad to have this win on the board."

Arun Karthik (Nellai Royal Kings Captain): "There was lot of dew and we had to use blue towel. Cannot control nature. Bowlers failed to grip the ball and the fielders dropped the catch. I think we had issues with shot selection. Ajitesh, myself did badly with shots and we need to learn from it. Hats off to Lyca bowlers who bowled back of a length and shot making was difficult. Shahrukh was also good with the ball. Thank You very much."   
23:11 IST and Local Time- Shahrukh Khan finishes off in style and Lyca Kovai Kings win by 9 wickets with 9 balls to spare. This has been a thoroughly dominating performance from them and the pair of Suresh Kumar and Sachin B ensured that they chased down this tricky total of 168 runs with ease in the end. 

The Lyca Kovai Kings didn't have the best of starts as they lost their star batter Sudharsan early on in the piece. But the pair of Suresh Kumar and B Sachin did really well. They picked up the boundaries at regular intervals in the powerplay and they got themselves ahead of the DLS par score before the rains interrupted for a brief period of 10 minutes.

They came back after the rain break but the flow of runs didn't stop. The spinners found it tough as two set batters took them to the cleaners. They brought up the 50 run partnership and ended up with 87/1 at the halfway stage of the innings with the required run rate well within their grasp.

Nellai Royal Kings made a bit of a comeback as they managed to take the game deep and stayed in the contest with 45 runs needed to win from the final five overs of the game. We had another brief rain delay, the second one in the innings and once again, the batters lost their tempo a bit. However Sachin B launched an onslaught and made things easy for his side in the end. He retired hurt on 76 but the job was done by that time. 

The bowlers had a really tough time as Cherian was the only one to get a wicket. Lakshay Jain was tidy but the rest of the bowlers were all expensive. The dropped chances in the field didn't help their cause either as they gave far too many opportunities to the batters. Overall it was a really poor effort from the Nellai Royal Kings and they will have much to ponder on for their upcoming encounters. 
18.3 E Cherian to S Khan
6 SIX! Shahrukh Khan finishes things off in style with the maximum as Lyca Kovai Kings win this game by 9 wickets with 9 balls to spare to go top of the points table with 3 wins from 3 games. Fuller length wide outside off, Shahrukh takes it on and goes inside out over extra covers as the ball sails over the ropes for the maximum to end the game. 
18.2 E Cherian to S Khan
0 Back of a length around off, Shahrukh drives it down to mid-off fielder. 
18.1 E Cherian to Kumar
1 Short of a length, Kumar pulls it away to the midwicket region for a single. 
Just three runs needed to win for the Lyca Kovai Kings from 12 balls and it will be a formality from here on.
