Nellai Royal Kings vs Siechem Madurai Panthers, Eliminator - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all from the Eliminator folks! We'll be back with the live coverage of the second qualifier in a couple of days. Ciao for now!

23:32 Local Time, 18:02 GMT, 23:32 IST: After posting a massive total of 211/6, Nellai Royal Kings have managed to topple their opposition. Just like Nellai, even Siechem Madurai Panthers had a few players who made significant contributions, but the team batting first has managed to defend the total eventually. The bowlers from both the teams proved to expensive tonight, but it were the Nellai bowlers who conceded a couple of boundaries lesser than their opposition and that's what made the difference. The match went all down to the wire, but it were the Kings' bowlers who came out on top eventually. Plenty of useful knocks and bowling contributions, but Nidhish Rajagopal's innings proved to be the decisive one...
