Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) will lock horns with Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) in the 18th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem on Monday (June 26). CSG faced a defeat in their previous encounter against Nellai Royal Kings (NRK), whereas SMP registered a win over Salem Spartans (SS) in their last match.
Although Baba Aparajith played a brilliant knock of 79 runs for CSG in their clash against NRK, his efforts went in vain as Chepauk bowlers failed to defend the target set by their batters. On the other hand, Gurjapneet Singh shined for SMP in their victory over SS. Gurjapneet bagged three crucial wickets for the Panthers and was also adjudged Player of the Match for his exceptional performance.
CSG are placed on the fourth position in the TNPL 2023 points table and will eye a spot in the top three by winning against Panthers on Monday. Meanwhile, SMP sit at sixth place and will try to register their second win in the contest.
Pitch report:
The SCF Cricket Ground in Salem is known for favouring bowlers. If a team wins the coin toss, they would probably opt to bowl first, considering the ground’s characteristics and past matches. Although the pitch conditions are expected to be advantageous for fast bowlers, spinners will also have an important role to play as the game unfolds.
