Ruby Trichy Warriors will be up against the Chepauk Super Gillies in Chennai on Sunday (August 15, 2021) in the final of the Tamil Nadu Premier league (TNPL).
The Warriors side had been in some good form especially against the Chepauk team in the recent encounters. The two sides met in the last group stage match and then in the Qualifier 1 where Ruby Trichy Warriors etched victory at both the occasions.
With the win in the Qualifier match, Trichy Warriors registered a berth for themselves in the final while Chepauk defeated Dindigul Dragons in the second qualifier to move ahead.
Chepauk did scalp some early wickets in the Qualifier 1 but Nidhish Rajagopal and Adithya Ganesh held the innings together and the two batsmen notched up individual half-centuries to anchor their side to a win.
The Super Gillies batting order would need to fire and put up a big total if they bat first.
