TNPL 2022 | RTW vs CSG | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Ruby Trichy Warriors (RTW) will be battling it out against the defending champions Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) in the 12th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2022 on Wednesday, July 6 at NPR College Ground, Dindigul.  

Ruby Trichy Warriors started their season with a dominating 8-wicket win over Dindigul Dragons. However, they failed to keep the winning momentum going as the Rahil Shah-led side succumbed to a 4 wickets defeat in their second game to find themselves swirling at the fourth spot in the TNPL standings. 

Chepauk Super Gillies, on the contrary, are yet to win a match in the tournament. They lost two of their opening fixtures and are currently reeling at the second last spot of the points table. With both teams eager to claim a win and move up the points ladder, a mouthwatering clash beckons in Dindigul.

Pitch Report:

A relatively high-scoring game is on the cards, considering how the surface turned out in the last fixture. There was very little help available for the bowlers. The average first-innings score at this venue has been around 160 runs in the last 4 games played at this venue. Both captains will look to bowl first after winning the toss.  

Key Performers:

Ruby Trichy Warriors

Nidhish S Rajagopal: He played a stunning knock of unbeaten 68 off 48 balls in the opening fixture against Dindigul Dragons. However, he failed to emulate it in the second game, scoring just 2 runs. He would look to come good with the bat in this match.  

P Saravan Kumar: The right-arm quick bagged a three-wicket haul in the previous game against ITT. However, he was pretty expensive with his spell, conceding 44 runs in 3.5 overs. He will be a key player in this match.

Chepauk Super Gillies 

Uthirasamy Sasidev: The left-handed batter from CSG was in sublime form with the bat in the previous match scoring 58 runs off just 43 balls. He will be the player to watch out for Chepauk in this contest. 

Kaushik Gandhi: The star skipper banged 64 runs off 42 balls in their opening encounter against Nellai Royal Kings. He has also got one wicket to his name. Heading into their next, he will be a vital player for the defending champions.
