Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Nellai Royal Kings Match 14 Match Commentary: Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2024

10.59pm  That’s it then, just the 32 legal balls is what we could witness in this game as the rain kept arriving and in the end, decided to play spoilsport. Both sides share a point each. TNPL action continues on July 16, Tuesday. Lyca Kovai Kings will be taking on Trichy Grand Cholas. That game will begin at 7.15 pm IST (1.45 pm GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care.

10.51pm  UPDATE - 10.51 pm IST (5.21 pm GMT) - IT'S OFFICIAL! THE MATCH HAS BEEN CALLED OFF DUE TO RAIN! Handshakes all around as persistent rain has resulted in the match ending in a no result. Both teams will take a point each from this encounter. As a result, Siechem Madurai Panthers who were at the bottom before the start of the game, have climbed to 5th in the standings while Nellai Royal Kings have leapt a couple of places to go to 2nd in the standings.

10.44pm  UPDATE - 10.44 pm IST (5.14 pm GMT) - Live visuals show the ground staff sitting near the edge of the covers placed on the square. While it is still raining, the two on-field umpires are out for a chat with the chief of the ground staff. It looks like we will be getting an official update soon regarding the future of this game, as Arun Karthik and Hari Nishaanth have made their way out to the middle. Uh oh, the two captains are shaking hands, and we might be done for the night. We are waiting for official confirmation though. Stay tuned.

10.26pm  UPDATE - 10.26 pm IST (4.56 pm GMT) - The rain continues to fall and the covers are still in place! The chances of this game resuming are reducing with each passing minute. The good thing is, the drainage is good and as soon as the rain stops, we can get back on.

10.04pm  UPDATE - 10.04 pm IST (4.34 pm GMT) - While we wait for the rain to relent in Coimbatore, you can switch tabs and follow the action from the Lanka Premier League, where Galle have been rolled over for 138. In reply, Colombo are currently 32/1 at the end of 3 overs, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Muhammad Waseem out in the middle. Mind you, Galle are already through to the playoffs, as are Jaffna, and if Colombo do get over the line here, they will be the third team to make it to the playoffs. It will then leave Kandy and Dambulla jostling for the last remaining playoff spot.

9.45pm  UPDATE - 9.45 pm IST (4.15 pm GMT) - We are off again! This is frustrating but it has been that kind of a night so far! The umpires have tried their level best to keep them out but the intensity of the rain has gone up. They need to come off again.
