Right then, that is it from this one-sided affair where Chepauk gets their second win of the season. However, the action in the Tamil Nadu T20 League continues on 16th June where Kovai will take on Nellai at 7.15 pm IST (1.45 pm GMT), but you can always join us early for the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
S Harish Kumar is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his all-round performance.
Earlier in the game, after electing to bat first Tiruppur did not get going at all. They lost three wickets in the Powerplay to put them on the back foot. However, Sundararaman Radhakrishnan, Vijay Shankar and Rajendran Vivek got them to a respectable total but it was still well under par. For Chepauk, S Harish Kumar and Rahil Shah were the top bowlers with two wickets each while Baba Aparajith got one. While defending, S Ajith Ram picked up two scalps with S Mohamed Ali getting one but the total was way too low and they faced defeat in the end.
Chepauk got off to a good start but lost Narayan Jagadeesan early on. However, Pradosh Ranjan Paul and Baba Aparajith made sure to take the game close as they were chasing a low target. The former did get out but Aparajith remained unbeaten on 46 and along with Sanjay Yadav and S Harish Kumar finished the game with 26 balls to spare.
Chepauk makes it two wins out of two and in convincing fashion as well. They looked more hungry from the start and register a 7-wicket win to go on top.
