SS vs CSG: Team Previews
Salem Spartans
Salem Spartans have emerged as the worst team of TNPL 2024 season as it tumbled down to the bottom of the table following a 35 run loss to Trichy Grand Cholas.
Sanjay Yadav’s 68 off 33 balls knock set up a 199-run target for Salem. However, in the chase, the Spartans wasted good starts and gifted crucial wickets at regular intervals before eventually getting bowled out for 163 runs.
With that, Salem Spartans lost their third game and are seated at the bottom with 2 points in four games. A comeback into the playoffs from here is not impossible but surely challenging.
Chepauk Super Gillies
On the other hand, Chepauk Super Gillies have somehow stayed alive in the playoff contention with 4 points in 4 games. The previous victory against Dindigul Dragons proved to be a massive boost and a blessing at the same time.
In a rain-hit game that was reduced to 7 overs per side, the Dragons posted 64 runs on the board in the first innings despite a blazing 45 (20) start from captain Ravichandran Ashwin.
Meanwhile, Jagadeesan and Baba Aparajith came out all guns blazing in the chase to wrap up a 9-wicket victory inside 5 overs. Both batters scored over 30 runs each in 14 deliveries.
Courtesy of the dominant victory, Chepauk climbed to the fourth spot on the fiercely competitive points table.
