The Tamil Nadu Premier League is slowly but steadily leading towards its business end as things are getting heated up, the concerts are now having more meaning than ever before. In such conditions, two teams that have varying results in their last two encounters would come together to fight out and get as close as possible to the Playoffs qualification.
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, who won their last game and are currently sitting at fifth place with similar points to fourth-placed Kovai Kings, would take on Siechem Madurai Panthers, who are seventh in the table and whose last game got abandoned due to rain.
Thus it is a game of utmost interest for both the teams and more so for Madurai who would look to win and get into the qualification mix.
Match Number: 20
Date: Friday, August 01, 2021
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
The Chennai pitch is wearing out slowly and high scoring games are becoming rare to find. Although with humidity and ample rain, some replenishing of the wear and tear is being done, even after being mostly optimistic, the wicket would remain slow and a tight match with scores in the range of 150-65 would be in the sight.
The sky would remain mostly cloudy, but there are not many chances of rain, in fact, that cloud is only going to add to humidity as the temperatures would remain in the mid-thirties throughout the duration of the game. The humidity will help the slower bowlers as not much dew would be found on the ground.
