The next ball was the effort delivery, dug-in on a good length, bouncing and shaping into the right-hander beautifully to take the inside edge. Chanel was placed at short square-leg exactly for that.
He had to run forward and across for it. But it was dropping slowly. He put in a dive - which Suresh Rain on commentary said wasn't needed - but timed it horribly wrong to allow the ball to spill out. I PL final is the last match of I PL and is the title decider match. The top four teams in the table after the league stage qualify for the playoffs. Two teams play the Qualifier 1, winner of which directly gets a place in I PL final match.
The third and fourth-placed teams play the eliminator, and the winning team face the losing team of Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2. The winning team of Qualifier 2 goes to the final.
