Salem Spartans (SS) will lock horns with Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) in the 15th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem on Saturday (June 24). It is worth mentioning that both teams suffered defeats in their previous encounters. While SS lost their last game to Nellai Royal Kings (NRK), SMP were defeated by Dindigul Dragons (DD).
Although Kaushik Gandhi played a resilient 52-run knock for SS in the rain-reduced 16-over match against NRK, his efforts went in vain, and SS lost the contest. Among bowlers, Abhishek Tanwar picked two wickets for the Spartans. On the other hand, Jagatheesan Kousik (45) was the top scorer for SMP in their match against DD. Gurjapneet Singh shined with the ball for them, picking up three wickets in the second innings. However, SMP couldn’t manage to pull off a win despite Kousik and Gurjapneet’s impressive performances.
SS are currently placed on the fifth position of the TNPL 2023 and would look to return to winning ways when they meet Panthers on Saturday. Meanwhile, SMP sits at the last spot with no wins and would eye their maiden victory against SMP,
