The Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) will square off against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) in the 3rd match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SNR College Cricket Ground in Coimbatore on Thursday (June 15). While N Jagadeesan will captain the Cheapuk-based side, the ITT will be led by Sai Kishore in the contest.
It is noteworthy that CSG started the league with a comprehensive 52 runs victory over Salem Spartans (SS), whereas ITT suffered a loss against Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK) in the tournament opener.
Pradosh Ranjan Paul was the standout performer for the Chepauk-based team in their clash against SS. The opening batter smashed a brilliant 88 runs off 55 balls and was well supported by Jagadeesan (35). On the other hand, despite Tushar Raheja’s resilient 33 runs knock and Vijay Shankar’s three wickets, ITT failed to pull off a win in their opening game against LKK.
CSG will now look to continue their momentum when they face ITT on Thursday. Meanwhile, Tiruppur Tamizhans will seek to register their maiden win of the tournament.
