TNPL 2022 | CSG vs ITT | Match Preview & CREX XI
A mouth-watering contest awaits cricket fanatics as the three-time champions Chepauk Super Gillies will have a go at IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in the 25th match of the TNPL 2022.
The exhilarating encounter will take place at SCF Cricket Ground, Salem, on Friday, July 22. This will be the last group stage game for both teams, but the fate of IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans lies in this match.
The Chepauk Super Gillies had a dismal start to their campaign this year, losing their first two games. However, the Kaushik Gandhi-led side has managed to win their next four matches on the trot and is positioned second in the points table.
They are just a win away from officially qualifying for the playoffs and book a berth alongside league leaders Nellai Royal Kings.
Speaking of IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, the side has won three of their six games and is currently placed fifth in the points table.
They can't afford to lose this game, as a loss here for the S Anirudha-led side will see them pack their bags as they will be virtually knocked out of the tournament.

Pitch Report
The pitch at SCF Cricket Ground has been on the slower side, with little more assistance for the bowlers. Batters can look to utilize the power plays as pacers aren't getting much movement with the new ball.
Spinners, however, can push the batters on the backfoot, as we have seen in the last couple of games. Both teams will ideally look to bowl first after winning the toss, with dew likely to come into play later.
