TUTI Patriots vs Chepauk Super Gillies, Tamil Nadu Premier League 2019, Today Match Prediction 09 Aug 2019

tp vs csg Match Prediction & Analysis

TUTI Patriots are out of contention for playoffs after their loss to Ruby Trichy Warriors in their last match. A Srinivasan waged a lone battle scoring 63 runs in the chase of 178 runs and eventually failed to win the match for his team. Skipper Subramania Siva and A Srinivasan are the only batsmen to make a 50+ score for their team this season. All the other batsmen have failed miserably and have no good contributions till now.

Athiyasaraj Davidson bowled a good spell the last match taking 4 wickets and he was the only wicket-taker for TUTI Patriots in that match. Tamil Kumaran and A Davidson have leaked runs at an economy rate of over 9 RPO. Ganesh Moorthi, A Venkatesh, and S Senthilnathan did not make any impact with their bowling this season and their wickets column reflects the same. 

Chepauk Super Gillies are assured of a spot in playoffs with 8 points from 6 matches. They will look to advance to Qualifiers 1 to get two chances to qualify for finals. Chepauk Super Gillie 4-match winning streak was halted by Madurai panthers the last match. Gopinath and U Sasidev played fighting knocks after their team was stunned to 12/3 in 3 overs. Ganga Sridgahr Raju and Harish Kumar have played some important cameos this season and are amongst the runs.

Their bowling unit is their biggest strength and three of the top four wicket-takers of the season are from Chepauk Super Gillies team. Pacers Harish Kumar and G Periyasamy are joint leading wicket-takers with 11 wickets so far. R Alexander follows them very closely with 10 wickets at an unbelievable economy rate of just 4.5 RPO.  M Ashwin too has chipped in 7 wickets and has an economy rate of below 6 RPO.

Weather Conditions

Tirunelveli Pitch is a good batting pitch where batsmen will find it easier to score runs. We can expect scores in the range of 160-180 runs here. The weather looks dark and cloudy but has just 20-30% chances of rain.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams batting second have won 3 out of the last 4 matches here. Any score of fewer than 160 runs is easily chased able here. We can expect teams to bowl first and restrict the opposition.
