With the pitch likely to deteriorate, the sensible choice would be to bat first. Siechem Madurai Panthers were asked to after losing the toss in their last match and they may choose to off their own volition this time.

CSG Key Players
Hari Gopinath: The big-hitting opening batsman has recaptured his top form in this tournament. After some useful innings last season, he has taken it one step further now with back-to-back half-centuries against Karaikudi Kaalai and Lyca Kovai Kings.
Murugan Ashwin: Three wickets in this fixture last season and in the wickets overall this season too. The leg-spinner has lived up to his billing as one of the stand-out players in this tournament.
Ganga Sridhar Raju: The other opener has bounced back well from a duck in the first match, scoring a half-century in the win against Karaikudi Kaalai and scoring his runs quickly too to set things up well.

Madurai Panthers Team News & Playing 11
MAD Team News
As ever, there was a slight change in the Panthers’ line-up last time out, as R Nilesh Subramanian replaced SS Karnavar and reclaimed the gloves too. That freed Arun Karthik to concentrate on his batting only again.
MAD Key Players
KB Arun Karthik: His big-hitting form continued at the top of the order against Lyca Kovai Kings last time out as he set the tone for the Panthers by taking the attack to the opening bowlers. It was yet another decent knock for the opener.
L Kiran Akash: In the wickets throughout, with his right-arm pace proving useful so far. Prior to facing the Kings, he had eight wickets in four games.
Abhishek Tanwar: Showed what he is capable of, with bat and ball, in the super over against Ruby Trichy Warriors and the challenge is now to show himself more with both in the actual matches.
MAD Team Form
Prior to facing Lyca Kovai Kings, Siechem Madurai Panthers had got back to winning ways – though it took a super over for the defending champions to see off Ruby Trichy Warriors. Abhishek Tanwar shone with bat and ball after both teams had posted 142/6.
That result ended a two-game losing streak, in which the Panthers had finished 30 runs short of Dindigul Dragons’ 182/6 in the first of those games before failing to defend 138/9 in a seven-wicket defeat to VB Kanchi Veerans.
