TEAMS PREVIEW

Nellai Royal Kings Preview

Baba Aparajith’s side had suffered a crashing defeat in their season opener, but the side made a strong comeback in the last game against the Chepauk Super Gillies winning it by 7 wickets. The side would be high on confidence with this win and Aparajith would want his players to take this momentum forward and win the game. 

Baba Aparajith played a captain’s knock in the last game and shall hope to provide another good start in company of Laxmesha Suryaprakash. Pradosh Ranjan Paul is also looking in good form and look to set up partnerships with Baba Indrajith and Sanjay Yadav. In Mohan Abhinav and NS Harish they have good hitters of the ball down the order. 

T Ajith Kumar and V Athisayaraj Davidson did well in the last game and shall look to make good use of the new ball in this game. NS Harish and Sharun Kumar also impressed, and this would give the side lot of confidence. They do have the bowling attack to defeat the Tamizhans in the next game.

Baba Aparajith (c), Laxmesha Suryaprakash, Pradosh Ranjan Paul, Baba Indrajith (wk), Mohan Abhinav, Sanjay Yadav, NS Harish, Arjun Murthy, Sharun Kumar, T Ajith Kumar, V Athisayaraj Davidson

IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Preview

M Mohammed’s side would be under pressure going into their third game of the season. Their first game was washed out and the side suffered a 16-run loss in the last game against the Salem Spartans. This is a must-win game for the team to improve its position on the points table and Mohammed would want his players to show their character here. 

S Dinesh and N Mohammed Ashik looked in poor form in the last game and the side would need a solid start from them here. In the middle order Maan Bafna, S Aravind and P Francis Rokins will have to anchor the innings. Rokins looked in good form in the last game and shall have to do the big hitting towards the end of the game with Tushar Raheja and M Mohammed. 

They would expect early wickets in the game from R Rajkumar and Thamarai Kannan as they will be up against a strong batting line-up. Aswin Crist looked good in the last game but the rest of the attack was ordinary and hence the side would like to see tight spells in the game from Mohan Prasath, Crist and Maan Bafna.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Chennai would be clear on July 26 and we expect to have a good game on our hands. The wicket here is expected to play well at the start but it would be on the slower side where the ball isn’t going to hit the bat hard. A score of 160 runs would be a good one on this surface.

Venue Details

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai is a good venue for T20 cricket offering good rewards to the bowlers and batsmen who spend time at the crease. Fast bowlers have done well on this surface in the past, but it is the spinners who enjoy these conditions where the ball can stop and surprise the batsmen.

Toss: To Bat

The wicket at Chennai is known for being a difficult surface to chase a score as the wicket tends to slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would aim to put up a good score on the board and defend it successfully.
