Lyca Kovai Kings
Taking a loss would not have been such a big issue for Lyca Kovai Kings in their last game. But how they were beaten would have dented their morale. This game appeared to be in the pocket for them. However, there was an incredible turnaround in the last ten deliveries leaving the side shattered with an unexpected loss. However, there are several positive aspects to be collected from this match and they will look to implement them in their next match and bounce back. After having lost the toss LKK was asked to bat first.

Sai Sudarshan was once again the star of the show with 90 runs from 52 balls. Shahrukh Khan put the finishing touches on the LKK score with a cameo of 17 runs from 8 balls. This was a pretty big target on the track. Bowlers for LKK did begin well and had the game well and truly under control. But Ajitesh had other ideas.
Ajitesh hit a fabulous hundred that put a dent in the chances of LKK defending the target. Yet, with 21 runs required from 7 deliveries they would have fancied their chances of defending this score.
