Salem Spartans
With just 1 win in 4 matches, the Salem Spartans are struggling at the moment. They are currently placed at the bottom of the points table and are coming into this contest on the back of 2 consecutive losses.
Barring R Kavin, Vishal Vaidhya, and R Vivek, the batting has been pretty average for the Spartans. Kavin is the leading run-scorer for the team, scoring 145 runs and averaging 36.25. S Abisheik, Shijit Chandran, and Adnan Khan have plenty of experience playing in the TNPL but have been unable to make a winning contribution so far with the bat.
Sunny Sandhu will feature as an all-rounder and has scored 53 runs while also picking up 5 wickets. Coming to the bowling, M Poiyamozhi is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 7 wickets but has gone for over 9 runs per over. He will feature in the pace department alongside Sunny and Harish Kumar.
Yazh Arun Mozhi has bowled a couple of decent spells to pick up 4 wickets and will bowl during the middle overs.

Chepauk Super Gillies
After losing a couple of games at the start of the season, the Chepauk Super Gillies seem to have found some sort of rhythm as they have won back-to-back matches. As a result, the team has climbed up to the 4th place and also enjoys a positive NRR.
N Jagadeesan and Baba Aparajith are in good form with the bat and their partnership of 65 runs in just 28 deliveries helped the team score a huge win in their latest outing. Jagadeesan is 3rd on the list of top run-getters for the season and has received excellent support from Aparajith and Pradosh Ranjan Paul.
However, the other batsmen including Santhosh Kumar, Daryl Ferrario, and Andre Siddharth do seem to be struggling a bit. Abhishek Tanwar and G Periyaswamy put up a brilliant display of fast bowling in the previous game picking up 4 wickets between them.
Daryl Ferrario has bowled well too, with Rahil Shah, Balu Surya, and Aswin Crist playing a supporting role.

The wicket at Coimbatore is a bit sticky as it has been raining there over the last few days. The quicker bowlers will get some assistance. Also, since the ground has hosted quite a few matches in the last few days, there are some rough patches that the spinners can exploit.

Jagadeesan has been in good form of late and has scored at least 32 runs in each of his last 3 innings. He was the top batsman for his team in two of those matches and we are backing him to play a good knock here.
R Kavin is the leading run-scorer for the Salem Spartans this year. He is also one of the most consistent batsmen for the team and has scored at least 18 runs in 4 of his last 6 TNPL matches.
