TNPL 2022 | SS vs CSG | Preview, CREX XI

A resurgent Chepauk Super Gillies will look to extend their three-match winning streak when they take on the bottom-placed Salem Spartans in the 22nd match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2022 in Salem on Tuesday, July 19. 


The journey so far: 


After a sloppy start to their campaign, the defending champions Chepauk Super Gillies have made an incredible comeback by winning their previous 3 matches back-to-back. 


With 6 points in their bank, CSG are currently placed fourth in the TNPL points table and seems a far-better outfit. Taking up their next challenge, the Super Gillies will be keen to extend their winning streak and improve their standing.  


The Salem Spartans, on the other hand, are currently groping in the dark in pursuit of their first win of the season after four successive losses. 


Sitting at the bottom of the points ladder, the only thing that all the Spartans' players will be playing for in their remaining matches is ‘pride’ as their qualification chances have been quite diluted with back-to-back failures.  


Key Performers: 

  • Uthirasamy Sasidev has been the in-form batter for Chepauk Super Gillies, scoring 154 runs in just 5 innings at an average of 30.80 and a strike rate of 136.28. 

  • Narayan Jagadeesan is another good option to put a bet on from CSG, having scored 147 runs in 5 innings at an average of 29.40 and a strike rate of 131.25.  

  • Ramadoss Alexander has bowled with a good rhythm and picked up 7 wickets in 5 innings at a terrific strike rate of 12.8. The left-arm spinner is expected to come good in this match as well.

  • G Kishoor is the leading wicket-taker for Salem Spartans, having picked 6 wickets in 3 innings, including a three-wicket haul against Siechem Madurai Panthers.
