TEAMS PREVIEW

Chepauk Super Gillies Preview

Baba Aparajith’s side is in a bit of bother. They started the season with two consecutive wins and have lost three games since then. The side enters this contest with an 8-wicket loss against Nellai Royal Kings. They must pull their socks up and do well in this game to improve their position on the points table.  

They will look for a good start from Pradosh Paul and N Jagadeesan, as the pair can do well. Baba Aparajith played a captain’s knock in the last game, and he will need support from Sanjay Yadav and Lokesh Raj in the middle order. The side will need a good show from Harish Kumar and Uthirasamy Sasidev in the lower middle order.    

The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game, and they will need good spells from S Harish Kumar and Ramalingam Rohit with the new ball. Rahil Shah did well in the last game and has an important role here. M Silambarasan, Rocky Bhasker, and Aparajith must deliver good spells in the supporting role.

Siechem Madurai Panthers Preview

Hari Nishanth’s side comes into this game after a big win against the Salem Spartans. They bowled out their opponents for 98 runs in the last game and won it by 7 wickets. Nishanth would be aware of the pressure the Super Gillies face in this game and look to exploit it and move up on the points table.  

V Aaditya and Nishanth fell cheaply in the last game, and they must provide a solid start here. The middle order has done well, and the side will expect runs from Jagatheesan Kousik, Swapnil Singh, and S Sri Abisek. Washington Sundar and K Deeban Lingesh add firepower to their batting.  

Gurjapneet Singh and V Gowtham bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the pair will look to deliver the goods here. Washington Sundar and Murugan Ashwin must bowl good spells in the middle overs, as Chepauk Super Gillies have good hitters.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Salem would be partly cloudy. The wicket would be flat though the bowlers are expected to get some assistance at the start of the game. The side that bats first here shall look to put up 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

Venue Details

SCF Cricket Ground has been a good venue for batsmen as the shorter boundaries and a fast outfield have allowed them to score runs easily at this venue. The wicket can be tough on the fast bowlers as there isn’t much for them. Spinners have done well as the rough surface lets them turn the ball sharply. 

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket will be good to bat on and chasing scores has been the norm in this format of the game. Most sides have won games chasing targets. This trend shall continue, and the side winning the toss would bowl first.
