Chepauk Super Gillies Team News & Playing 11
CSG Team News
Chepauk Super Gillies responded to their opening defeat by shuffling their batting order but they stuck with the same XI and were rewarded with victory last time out. Captain Kaushik Gandhi is due some runs after two failures, but his leadership position means it will take more than that for him to lose his opening spot.
CSG Key Players
R Alexander: The left-arm spinner is one on the stand-out bowlers of the tournament so far, having taken 3-11 in the opening game and then an outstanding, match-winning 5-9 last time out. The wickets included four of the top five.
Murugan Ashwin: The Kings XI Punjab bowler took 2-15 in the first game and an economical 0-15 last time out, while his batting is relied on more in the TNPL than it is in the IPL too – he has hit 34 runs in his two innings.
S Harish Kumar: Two useful innings so far down the order, including his 39 from 23 balls last time out – a knock which included four sixes. He can also contribute with his right-arm seam, which brought seven wickets in last season’s competition.
CSG Team Form
Chepauk Super Gillies fell short on the opening night, posting a limp 105/9 in reply to Dindigul Dragons’ 115/9. The Gillies bounced back last time out, however – R Alexander took 5-9 as, defending 148/6, Chepauk Super Gillies restricted Ruby Trichy Warriors to 107/9.

Karaikudi Kaalai Team News & Playing 11
KK Team News
Vijaykumar Yo Mahesh was dismissed first ball having replaced S Swaminathan in the starting line-up. Swaminathan had not bowled in the win against Ruby Trichy Warriors. It remains to be seen if the swing-bowling all-rounder will retain his place after the heavy defeat last time out.
KK Key Players
Srikkanth Anirudha: The hero of the first game, Karaikudi Kaalai learned what they miss when the captain and wicket-keeper-batsman does not score – he fell cheaply last time out, but his form in the opening game, hitting 58 from 36 balls, showed his capabilities.
R Rajkumar: Tidy with the ball and capable of some lusty blows with the bat, the all-rounder hit an unbeaten 28 from 13 balls in the first game and took 0-28 with the ball – the most economical bowler – last time out.
Sunil Sam: Took two wickets in each of the two matches so far, including 2-38 last time out, and also bowled the super over as Karaikudi Kaalai beat Ruby Trichy Warriors.
KK Team Form
Karaikudi Kaalai had captain Srikkanth Anirudha to thank for victory in their opening game, after he hit 58 from 36 balls in a total of 171/5, and then led them to victory in the super over after Ruby Trichy Warriors posted the exact same score.They fell well short last time, however – replying to 177/4, Karaikudi Kaalai lost four wickets while on 31 and eventually folded for a miserable 67 all out.
