And in a big final, where the tussle is as much psychological as one of skills, Albert Tuti Patriots ticked all the boxes at the M.A. Peaking at the right time and taking the match by the scruff, Tuti Patriots vanquished Chepauk Super Gillies by 122 runs before a crowd of 22,000 in the inaugural edition of the India Cements-TNPL Twenty20 tournament. Tuti Patriots had amassed a stunning 215 for two with Abhinav Mukund (82 not out, 52b, 12x4, 1x6), Kaushik Gandhi (59, 43b, 6x4, 2x6) and Dinesh Karthik (55, 26b, 5x4, 4x6) dominating the bowling. Any faint hope that Super Gillies might have entertained on the chase was snuffed out by left-arm spinner Ganesh Moorthy. The scores:Albert Tuti Patriots 215 for two in 20 overs (Abhinav Mukund 82 not out, Kaushik Gandhi 59, Dinesh Karthik 55) bt Chepauk Super Gillies 93 in 18.5 overs (Vasanth Saravanan 30, Ganesh Moorthi four for 11).
