Having not won a single match in this edition’s Tamil Nadu Premier League, Salem Spartans are going through a very bad patch. In the 2021 edition, Salem won just two matches out of seven and it looks like this year will also prove to be a forgettable season for them.
With a chance to taste a win for the very first time, Salem Spartans go again against Ruby Trichy Warriors in the 24th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2022.
Let’s look at all the details for the upcoming TNPL match.
Tamil Nadu Premier League: Salem Spartans vs Ruby Trichy Warriors
Salem Spartans are currently positioned at eighth spot on the league table with zero points out of five matches. Ruby Trichy Warriors are also performing poorly, having won just one of their five matches. They stay at seventh in the table with two points.
Salem Spartans: SS lost their last match against CSG after batting really poorly in the first innings. The SS team were able to only produce 113/6 in 20 overs. Their bowling was similarly poor and they gave away the match in 14.5 overs.
If they are to win this game, their batting would need to improve massively.
Ruby Trichy Warriors: After winning their very first match, the RTW team has joined the Salem Spartan’s team and mirrored their performance. Their last four matches have resulted in a loss and they remain at seventh with just two points. They lost their last match against the table topper Nellai Royal Kings by a huge 66 runs margin. They would need to come up with good performance if they are to win the next match.
It would be a competitive game as both teams are rather poor in the batting department.
Salem Spartans Probable XI: Gopinath, S Abishiek, R Kavin (wk), Daryl Ferrario, S Ganesh, Jafar Jamal, Murugan Ashwin (c), Ravi Karthikeyan, G Kishoor, M Ganesh Moorthi, G Periyaswamy
Ruby Trichy Warriors Probable XI: Amith Sathvik VP, Murali Vijay, Nidish Rajagopal, Adithya Ganesh, Muhammad Adnan Khan, Antony Dhas, Ajay Krishana, Mathivannan M, P Saravan Kumar, Rahil Shah (c), M Poiyamozhi
Pitch Report:
This would be the third match on the Salem Cricket Ground Foundation Stadium in Salem. The first match between Salem Spartans and Chepauk Super Gillies ended in a CSG win. It was a low-scoring game but that was due to Salem’s poor batting and CSG’s good bowling. The pitch is expected to help bowlers. The average score on this ground is 115. The weather report suggests light rain.
