14:48 PM IST || That is all we have in our live coverage of this SMAT Group B Match between Saurashtra and Tamil Nadu. This is Samanvaya Sharma signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arya. Goodbye!!!
14:25 PM IST || MATCH SUMMARY || Saurashtra won by 58 runs.
It all began with team Tamil Nadu winning the toss and deciding to bowl first on this good-looking batting surface. Team Saurashtra came out to bat and posted a humongous target on the board, with the help of their opening batter Harvik Desai, who made 55 runs off just 34 deliveries. Later on Prerak Mankad along with Ruchit Ahir and Sammar Gajjar, played some blistering knocks. From their bowling side, Chirag Jani bowled a match-winning spell today and ended up taking 3 crucial wickets. Ankur Panwar and Dharrmendrasinh Jadeja also contributed well in the middle overs by taking 2 wickets each.
After this Tamil Nadu came out to chase and they lost both their openers quite early. Boopathi Kumar and Mohamed Ali tried their best to take Tamil Nadu close to the target but they were unable to do so. Other than these no batter contributed to the team's total. In bowling, only Gurjapneet Singh took 3 wickets.
With all this, team Tamil Nadu is now out of this tournament, as they cannot qualify for the next stage with their current points on the table.
