Dindigul Dragons vs Siechem Madurai Panthers, 8th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Both games today saw comprehensive wins for Salem and Dindigul. Dindigul on the back of Indrajith's superb knock made easy work of the target of 123. They had initial hiccups but did well to overcome them. That is it. Good bye for now.

Ravi Ashwin: We saw a good display of fast bowling there. You have to give chances and hope they grab it with both hands. If you are consistent in these conditions, you will get wickets. I am also learning in this role. Nobody is ever bigger than this game.

Hari Nishanth: We have our heads up. We can come back in the tournament. We needed partnerships. Else we could have scored 170. We have to do our basics well.

Suboth Bhati, Player of the Match: I am happy that we have won back-to-back matches. This wicket, length balls were working. The previous wicket yorkers were working. Ashwin backed me, told me to go for wickets. You can't bowl freely if you don't have captain's working.

Indrajith: The bowlers set it up for us. The wicket was a little tacky. I would want to better this performance. It was not only about getting a fifty but I wanted to stay not out till the end. I had batted lower down the order in the previous years but have been given a role in the top-order this season and I am clear about my role.

22:31 Local Time, 17:01 GMT, 22:31 IST: Indrajith's knock has headlined this win for Dindigul. His 78 was full of some classy hits to the fence and over it. A target of 123 was never threatening but Gurjapneet Singh bowled his heart out and picked up three wickets in his first spell. That pegged back Dindigul but they recovered thanks to Indrajith and Ganesh. Both of them batted well as a pair to finish it off. None of the other bowlers from Madurai were able to put any form of pressure. Even Sundar went for 26 in his solitary over.
