Key Factors
In the Tamil Nadu Premier League encounter at the NPR College Ground here on Friday, Aashiq (98, 56b, 6×4, 7×6) put on a show in his ‘home venue’ and in front of his proud parents, piloting Super Gillies to 205 for eight. But he ended up on the losing side as Tushar (102, 52b, 5×4, 8×6) outshone him with his maiden TNPL century in Tamizhans’ seven-wicket victory, which was earned with two overs to spare. It defeated Dindigul Dragons by six wickets, with multiple players, including skipper Sonu Yadav (three for 24 and 19 n.o.), stepping up to bag the team’s second win on the bounce.
In the night match, it was Nellai Royal Kings’ day out.
