In the first match of the double-header Sunday, Salem Spartans will be up against Ruby Trichy Warriors in Chennai. Warriors are in some decent form at the moment having won three out of the five matches that they have played.
They in fact rode on some fine bowling performance in the last match against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to restrict them to 110/8 in 20 overs and then clinch a victory by 7 wickets. Nidhish Rajagopal
And Adithya Ganesh were among some runs and the two players anchored the side to a win in the 18th over.
Spartans on the other side have suffered defeats in the two matches out of the four they have played. The Daryl Ferrario-led side witnessed a batting collapse against Dindigul Dragons after they were bundled out for 109 while chasing 186.
While the Ruby Trichy side would look to continue their form, Spartans would want their batting attack to go all guns blazing.

Pitch Report
The track in Chennai might favour the bowlers, especially spinners. The dew won’t be a factor in the day game so, if you win the toss, bat first and try to put a big total on the board.
