Salem Spartans vs Ba11sy Trichy, 7th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Salem have bounced back and have done so in style. They were humbled in their first win but have done well to recover. Trichy never had the runs and their bowlers also couldn't muster anything magical. In the end was an easy win. There are two games slated for the day. Hop tabs and move to game number 2!

Kaushik Gandhi: Very important to win this game. We had lost our first game. So was crucial for us. I am very happy. Have been playing since the start of the tournament. Credit goes to the skipper.

18:25 Local Time, 12:55 GMT, 18:25 IST: Salem have won this easily. Gandhi batted beautifully and hit some timely blows to lay the foundation of a solid win for Salem. They were thumped by CSG in their first game but have helped their NRR for sure with their first win of the tournament. Trichy never got enough runs and were poor in the defence as well. Everyone in the top five for Salem got off to starts but it was only Gandhi who batted till the end and hit some lusty blows towards the end to bring about a quick end to the chase. Earlier, Trichy had huffed and puffed to 139.
