Dindigul Dragons will take on IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in the second Qualifier on Friday. That match and the final will both take place at Chepauk in Chennai. That's all we have from here. Until next time, it's goodbye.
Ravichandran Ashwin, Dindigul Dragons captain and PoTM: Pressure does these things (on the near collapse), we'll have to have a chat, but the important thing was we closed the game. It was an imperfect game, despite our shoddy bowling and fielding, we kept them down to a low score. As an international and IPL player, the responsibility was with me to do well (with the bat). We haven't played the perfect game, hopefully we'll do well in the coming games. Thankful for the crowd for having turned up.
Baba Aparajith, CSG captain: I thought 157 was a good score, we didn't take our chances, Ashwin and Shivam Singh batted really well. Prem Kumar is a very promising bowler, coming in directly into the Eliminator and doing so well, he should do better next season. We have had a lot of positives, but we did leak too many runs at times.
22:43 Local Time, 17:13 GMT, 22:43 IST: They should've finished it off much sooner, but Dindigul Dragons eventually get the job done in the final over. They were cruising at one stage as Ashwin and Shivam put on 112 runs for the second wicket. Ashwin pushed himself up the order and went after the bowling in powerplay
