The Tamil Nadu Premier League will witness a midweek doubleheader for the first time in the 2021 season and the second match or the evening game of that doubleheader would be played between Siechem Madurai Panthers and Lyca Kovai Kings at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
While the Panthers from Madurai are second from the bottom having won one and lost one from the two games, the Kings fro0m Kovai haven’t done too well either sitting right at the edge of the Playoffs qualification at number four with three points from three games as one of their games washed out.
However, since both the teams are coming from a loss in their previous game, thus this game becomes a mouthwatering clash with both teams trying to up the ante and get going to take their chances of Playoffs qualification one notch up.
Match Number- 13
Date and Time: July 28, 2021, 07:30 pm IST and Local, 02:00 pm GMT
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Broadcast and Live Stream: Star Sports Network and Hotstar
The Chennai wicket has so far offered assistance to both pace and spin as bowlers, but as the number of matches is increasing, the pitches seem to be getting rougher and hence grip is going to be offered in great amount for the bowlers.
The forecast for July 28 suggests that there would be no interruptions in the game from rain although there would be enough cloud cover to provide support for swing bowlers. The temperatures would be ranging in the lower thirties and humidity around and about 60%.
