Tamil Nadu emerged as the champions in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021-22. They defeated Karnataka by four wickets in the title decider at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

After being inserted into bat, Karnataka posted a score of 151/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Tamil Nadu chased down the target off the very last delivery to defend their title.

R Sai Kishore (3/12) starred with the ball for the Vijay Shankar-led side as his early blows put Karnataka on the back foot. However, Manish Pandey's side recovered through the efforts of Abhinav Manohar (46 off 37) and Praveen Dubey (33 off 25) to put up a fighting total.

4-0-12-3 some numbers for Sai Kishore in the finals of SMAT. All three wickets were Karnataka's top order batsmen. Pretty sure guy's gonna go for a good price & probably will find himself in the starting XI of some team next season. https://t.co/5iHr8a44Lu

Chasing 152, Tamil Nadu seemed to be struggling when they lost the wickets of Vijay Shankar and Narayan Jagadeesan off consecutive deliveries in the 16th over when they still required 57 runs. Shahrukh Khan then took his side home with an unbeaten 33 off 15 deliveries, including a last-ball six.

WHAT. A. FINISH! 👌 👌

A last-ball SIX from @shahrukh_35 does the trick! 💪 💪

Tamil Nadu hold their nerve & beat the spirited Karnataka side by 4 wickets to seal the title-clinching victory. 👏 👏 #TNvKAR #SyedMushtaqAliT20 #Final
