Salem Spartans have not had a great tournament and their chances of reaching the playoffs look grim. Spartans have played four matches so far but have suffered defeats in three of the matches They lost to Madurai Panthers in the last game and are on the verge of early exit from the tournament.
Meanwhile, Lyca Kovai Kings are placed at the top of the table after a stellar run in TNPL. The team has played five games, winning four and losing just one. Kings thrashed Dindigul Dragons by 59 runs in the last game.
The surface has been a good one to bat with teams posting big scores. There is very little help for the pacers but spinners are getting the ball to grip and turn.
The weather will be cloudy, with temperature ranging between 34 and 24 degrees. There is no threat of rain though.

The teams are expected to field the same XI. Kovai Kings have done well as a unit and won’t be keen on changing the combination. Spartans, even though extremely tough, have an outside chance of qualifying so they will have to back the combination they have played so far.
Salem Spartans have won 3 off the 5 matches played against Lyca Kovai Kings.

Sai Sudarsan has been in top form in TNPL. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 330 runs in five matches. Sudarsan has scored 4 fifties in the tournament so far. He scored blazing 83 in the last game against the Dragons.
Shahrukh Khan is also a top choice for the fantasy team. Khan bats down the order so he does not get many balls to face but given that he bowls as well and hit can hit a few lusty blows in the end, he is a good player to have. He has taken 9 wickets in 5 matches so far.
The pacer has not had a great start, with just 6 wickets in five matches. However, he is a good bowler and is expected to do well in the games to come.
Kaushik Gandhi has not shown the form he showed last year but he recently scored a half-century and that may help him get back his form. A good knock is expected from Kaushik Gandhi in the coming game.
He is a good all-round option. Even though the tournament has not gone the way he would have liked, he is still a good player and can turn the tables anytime soon.
