TEAMS PREVIEW

IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Preview

The Tamizhans must gather steam and show consistency as they play the most crucial game of the season. Srikkanth Anirudha’s side went down by 9 wickets in the last game against the Lyca Kovai Kings even though the side had a good score on the board. The Panthers have done well and Anirudha’s team shall have to be at its best and play aggressive cricket to win this game.  

S Aravind and Srikkanth Anirudha shall have to set up a good opening wicket stand for the side to be in a comfortable position. Dinesh Karthik's presence in the middle order is a big boost and he needs to steer the middle order along with Tushar Raheja and R Rajkumar. Subramanian Anand, Maan Bafna, and M Mohammed shall have to play important knocks down the order in this game.  

Their bowlers would look to get over the nightmare in the last game. S Mohan Prasath and Lakshmi Sathiyannaarayan must deliver the goods with the new ball in this game.

NS Chaturved’s side is nearly through to the next round. They played well in the last game against the Salem Spartans winning it by 39 runs.

Arun Karthik and K Rajkumar have done well as a pair especially Karthik who is among the top run-getters in the season. They will look to make a positive start in this game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Salem would be partly cloudy and we might see rain during the game on July 20. 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 here is expected to be hard as we have seen in most games. Chasing scores has been the norm in this format of the game. Most sides have won games chasing targets. This trend is expected to continue and the side winning the toss shall have no hesitation in bowling first.
