Nellai Royal Kings won by 7 wickets and they meet Lyca Kovai Kings in the final

19.6

Bhati to Rithik Easwaran, SIX, sixth six seals the game. Attempted yorker gone wrong, knee high full toss and flicks nonchalantly over backward square leg for a huge one

19.5

Bhati to Ajitesh, 1 run, full toss on off, thumped straight and just one

19.4

Bhati to Ajitesh, no run, slower short ball on middle and leg, Ajitesh was ages early into the lull but was undone by the lack of pace

19.3

Bhati to Ajitesh, no run, slower ball on off, flummoxed the batter completely. Play and miss

19.2

Bhati to Rithik Easwaran, 1 run, full on off, drills down the ground

19.1

Bhati to Ajitesh, 1 run, slower ball on off stump, pushed to vacant cover for a single
