MPS vs IDTT Team Previews
Madurai Panthers
The Madurai Panthers’ 3-match winning streak was broken in their latest match, as they lost against the Lyca Kovai Kings on Sunday. As a result, the team is tied at points with the Chepauk Super Gillies but is 5th on the points table because of a lower NRR. While a win here will take the Panthers to the playoffs, a loss will eliminate them.
Washington Sundar and Suresh Lokeshwar will be looking to give the team a solid start here. Sundar has done a decent job with the bat, scoring 119 runs in 6 innings. Skipper Hari Nishaanth has led his team from the front and is the leading run-scorer for his team.
He, along with Jagatheesan Kousik, will be the key batsman for the Madurai Panthers in the middle order as others like Deeban Lingesh and Sri Abisek haven’t been very consistent. Gurjapneet Singh and Ajay Krishna will be leading the pace attack here.
Gurjapneet has been particularly impressive, picking up 11 wickets. Madurai has plenty of variety in its spin attack too, as Murugan Ashwin, Swapnil Singh, and P Saravanan are all in good form. With the bowling in good shape, the onus will be on the batsmen to perform well here.

Hari Nishanth, V Aditya, Jagatheesan Kousik, S Sri Abisek, Andrew Subikshan, Swapnil Singh, S Lokeshwar, Murugan Ashwin, P Saravanan, Gurjapneet Singh, Ajay Krishna.
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans
The Tiruppur Tamizhans have some talented players on their team, but unluckily, their standing on the points table doesn’t reflect that. They are 6th on the table with 4 points and still have a slim chance of making it to the knockouts. However, for that to happen, they will need to defeat Madurai by a huge margin here.
Tushar Raheja and S Radhakrishnan have done a good job for the team, giving them some brisk starts. Raheja is the leading run-scorer with 144 runs, while Radhakrishnan is close behind with 141. Balchander Anirudh and Vijay Shankar have batted well in patches and will lend stability to the middle order.
R Sai Kishore has been among the key players for the Tiruppur Tamizhans this season. He has put up an excellent all-round show, scoring 122 runs and also picking up 7 wickets. He will lead the spin attack along with S Gohulmoorthi and S Ajith Ram.
P Bhuvaneswaran has done a brilliant job with the new ball and is the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 13 wickets. Trilok Nag looked promising in the previous match where he picked up 2 wickets for 21 runs and can again play an important role here.

Pitch and Conditions
The track in Tirunelveli is well-balanced, providing equal opportunities to the batsmen and the bowlers. The average first-inning score here is around 165, and anything over that will be tricky to chase. The quicker bowlers will get some movement early on, while the spinners will come into play during the latter half.
There is a forecast of rain here which can lead to delays.
MPS vs IDTT Betting Tips
Both teams have lacked consistency and as a result, are still fighting to book a berth in the playoffs. While there isn’t much separating the two in terms of form, we feel that the Tiruppur Tamizhans have a slight edge here. They have a stronger batting line-up when compared to Madurai, and a couple of good all-rounders, who can play a key role here.
Bet on the iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The opening pair of Tushar Raheja and S Radhakrishnan has done a good job for their team so far. They are the top two scorers for the Tamizhans this season and we expect them to put up a strong opening partnership.
The Tamizhans have a lot of depth in their batting, thanks to all-rounders including R Sai Kishore and Vijay Shankar. On the other hand, the Madurai Panthers have a few batsmen who aren’t in the best of forms and may find it to play the big shots against a good bowling line-up.
S Radhakrishnan has an average of 28.20 this season and has scored 21 or more runs in 3 of his last 5 innings. We are therefore backing him to score over 20.5 runs here.
