Salem Spartans

The Salem Spartans had a terrible run in the last season, where they managed to win just 1 of their 7 fixtures and finished at the bottom of the points table. They haven’t had the best of starts this season too as they lost their opening match against the Chepauk Super Gillies.

In a surprise move, the Salem Spartans sent bowling all-rounder Akash Sumra to open the batting in the last match, along with Amit Sathvik. The former seemed to be middling the ball well and we might yet again see him in the opening role.

The Spartans have roped in Kaushik Gandhi, who led the Super Gillies to the Finals in the last season, and he will play an important role in the middle order. He will be supported by the likes of S Aravind and Mokit Hariharan, as well as all-rounders Maan Bafna and S Abishiek. Adnan Khan played a brilliant cameo of 47 off just 15 deliveries in the last match but that wasn’t nearly enough to see them through.

Talking about the bowling, the seam attack will be led by Abhishek Tanwar, who was the leading wicket-taker for the last season. He will be supported by Sunny Sandhu and Sachin Rathi. The spin duties will be performed by G Ganesh Moorthi as well as all-rounders Mokit Hariharan and Akash Sumra.

Ruby Trichy Warriors

Much like their opponents, Ba11sy Trichy too had a terrible outing last time around, finishing second-last on the table and they too will be looking to make amends here. However, things didn’t go according to the plan in the season opener as they lost to the Dindigul Dragons by 6 wickets.

Skipper Ganga Sridhar Raju was excellent with the bat in that match, playing a gritty knock of 48 runs. However, he received no support from the other end because as many as 5 of the top 7 players were dismissed for single-digit scores.

All-rounder R Rajkumar put up good resistance but it was too little too late for Trichy as they were dismissed for a modest total of 120. The team has some capable batsmen including Akshay Srinivasan, Jafar Jamal, Daryl Ferrario, and Mani Bharthi. They will need to step up here if Trichy wants to win. M Shajahan, Anthony Dhas, and Rajkumar provide depth to the batting which can be an advantage here.

T Natarajan, who had a decent outing in the recently concluded IPL, will lead the pace attack here along with Ma Silambarasan, while R Alexander and S Boopalan will take care of the spin. Again, having plenty of all-rounders gives the captain a good amount of flexibility to shuffle between the bowlers.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the NPR Cricket Ground is well-balanced, providing equal opportunities to the batsmen as well as the bowlers. The average first-inning score here is around 160. The quicker bowlers will get some movement off the seam here. The outfield here is pretty quick, which is an advantage for the batsmen.

The weather is expected to be warm and we may see some showers interrupting the play. If the DLS method does come into play, it will be an advantage for the chasing team. 

 

SMS vs RTW Betting Tips

Both teams haven’t had the best of starts to the season and have struggled to perform in all departments. However, looking at the on-paper strengths and weaknesses, we feel that Ba11sy Trichy has a slight edge here. They have a pretty deep batting line-up and also have some quality bowlers on their side.

Bet on Ba11sy Trichy to win.
