That's it from the coverage of today's encounter between Trichy Grand Cholas and Lyca Kovai Kings. Stay tuned for more cricketing action coming up!

I, Aditya Agarwal signing off on the behalf of my co-commentators Saptak Sanyal and Ayan Chatterjee alongside scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar who brought you all actions of the event. Till then BYE!

Shahrukh Khan (Lyca Kovai Kings Captain and Player of the Match): "It's a very tricky one. I did bowling in the academy. Then there was a limp in shoulder. But then I had to bowl due to the requirement of the team. I don't practise a lot. It is a double edged sword for me. I want to hold back and want to bowl at left handers. I think I want to bowl more and more I bowl the better it will be for me. I am happy with the team as to how they are responding to the roles given to them. The management stuff is backing me a lot as well and roles are defined. Thank You."

Time for the post-match presentations.

Antony Dhas (Trichy Grand Cholas Captain): "Actually Sanjay and Jafar played really well. The wicket was slow and because of rain it played slowly and we struggled. The top order failed and we lacked responsibility today. We have the best bowling unit. Missed Sanjay Yadav and Easwaran. We missed them, but the others were off. They tried defending a paltry total but could not. Batting let us down big time."

22:21 IST and Local Time | Lyca Kovai Kings win the match comprehensively despite the early stutter, by 8 wickets and 23 balls to spare and they have now moved up to 8 points and sit comfortably at the top of the points table.

Here's a review of what happened in the match.

Lyca Kovai Kings won the toss and put Trichy Grand Cholas to bat first. Trichy Grand Cholas lost their opener Arjun Murthy early of a run out in the second over itself. Waseem Ahmed then started his onslaught from the other end but his innings was cut short by Shahrukh Khan as he departed on 17 runs. Shahrukh Khan then got the better of his opposite counterpart and got him out on a golden duck. Trichy Grand Cholas never recovered from there as their wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals.

They were 35-6, then Sanjay Yadav combined with Jafar Jamal to put up a 56 run stand for the seventh wicket. Some lusty blows by Jafar Jamal in the last over as he scored 41 runs in 28 balls, helped his team to post a score of 124.

Shahrukh Khan was the pick of the bowler for the Kings as he finished with 13 for 3 in 4 overs.

Chasing 125, Lyca Kovai Kings lost J Suresh Kumar and the experienced Sai Sudharsan in the very first over of the innings, thanks to good bowling of V Davidson.

They were in a spot of bother, in walked U Mukilesh and he combined with S Sujay to put up a match winning and an unbeaten 118 run partnership for the third wicket and helped their team to get over the line with 8 wickets remaining.

U Mukilesh was the top batter for his side and of the match as he scored 63 runs in 54 balls.

16.1 Kumar to S Sujay

4 FOUR!! Sujay ends the game in style! Fuller than length at the outside off stump line. Sujay gets the width and drives it through the covers for a four and he punches the air in delight.
