Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the game, the Southern Super Stars staged a strong comeback, particularly with their spinners, limiting Toyam Hyderabad to 144. After a solid start with a 69-run partnership between Chadwick Walton and George Worker, Jeevan Mendis took crucial wickets to shift momentum. The Southern bowlers, led by Mendis, Jesal Karia, and Pawan Negi, effectively stifled the scoring in the latter half, while Shaun Marsh and Rikki Clarke struggled to find their rhythm. A late push towards the end helped Hyderabad reach a modest total.
The Southern Super Stars faced early turmoil in their innings, succumbing to pressure as they lost wickets at frequent intervals, leaving them in a precarious position at 44 for 4. However, Pawan Negi and Jesal Karia played a pivotal role in stabilizing the innings. They played careful shots while also accelerating the scoring rate. This eased the pressure from them for a while but the loss of Jesal Karia turned the tables around again! Later, the rain occurred in the game and helped the Southern Super Stars steal the game from them.
That's it! The rain has the final say in the game and the match has been CALLED OFF due to rain. Toyam Hyderabad beat Southern Super Stars by 5 runs (DLS method)! So, it was a thrilling victory for the Toyam Hyderabad, as they clinched the match by just 5 runs, aided by a timely rain interruption. The turning point was the crucial wicket of Jesal Karia, which revived their chances after a challenging phase. Shivakant Shukla emerged as the standout bowler, taking two wickets with an economical spell, while Bipul Sharma matched his tally with two wickets as well. Nuwan Pradeep got the wicket of all important Martin Guptill, as it removed a key threat from the opposition.
Update 11.31 pm IST (6.01 pm GMT) - The rain continues to fall steadily, and the outlook seems grim now. Also, we've already had a delayed start for this match.
Update 10.59 pm IST (5.29 pm GMT) - Oh no, it has started to rain here at Maulana Azad Stadium, Jammu and the umpires call for covers. Hopefully, it's just a passing shower, and we should be back soon. So as of now, the DLS par score stands at 103 runs, and the Southern Super Stars are trailing the DLS par score by five runs. Stay tuned for the regular updates.

OUT! STUMPED! Oh, my word! Rikki Clarke gets a wicket with his off spin! Lands it outside off, Chaturanga de Silva moves forward and looks to loft it but misses it completely. Chadwick Walton behind the stumps has a lot of time as he removes the bails off. This wicket has completely changed the dynamics of the game!
