Ruby Trichy Warriors Team News & Playing 11
RTW Team News
After a disappointing batting performance against Lyca Kovai Kings, Ruby Trichy Warriors rang the changes last time out. K Mukunth and Adithya Ganesh came into the side. Mukunth could not influence the game, and Ganesh fell for a run-a-ball 24 with further improvement needed in the top and middle order. With Murali Vijay absent for the last two matches, the Trichy Warriors have missed their star man.
RTW Key Players
P Saravan Kumar: The medium-pace bowler was expensive last time out but he has already proved his wicket-taking worth with six in three matches so far. That includes 3-32 in the opening game against Karaikudi Kaalai.
Lakshminarayanan Vignesh: The paceman has picked up a wicket in each of the three matches so far and was particularly tidy last time out as he recorded figures of 1-12 from his three overs.
Murali Vijay: Ruby Trichy Warriors will be desperate for their star batsman to return after he hit 81 in the opening game. His recent T20 form has been good too – he only batted twice in the IPL, scoring 26 and 38, but he hit 77, 74 and 107 in his three innings for Tamil Nadu prior to that.
RTW Team Form
Ruby Trichy Warriors have lost all three matches they have played so far. Murali Vijay’s 81 helped them to 171/5 in their opening game – a tie with Karaikudi Kaalai – but they lost in the super over.Without Vijay, they were then restricted to just 107/9 in replay to Chepauk Super Gillies’ 148/6 and could only reach 135 all out in reply to Lyca Kovai Kings’ 161/6 in the match after that.
Ruby Trichy Warriors Predicted Playing 11
S Aravind, Aditya Barooah, Murali Vijay, Adithya Ganesh, Chandrasekar Ganapathy, Mani Bharathi (wk), Saravan Kumar, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh, Sai Kishore (c), M Poiyamozhi, Kannan Vignesh
Madurai Panthers Team News & Playing 11
MAD Team News
Siechem Madurai Panthers tweaked their starting 11 last time out, with Subramanian dropping out behind the stumps. They may revert to the same bowling attack that won the first game, however, after their tweaking in Tirunelveli did not pay off.
MAD Key Players
KB Arun Karthik: Struggled last time out, but his form in the first two matches – particularly the opener – showed exactly what he can do with the bat at the top of the order.
L Kiran Akash: The right-arm seamer has led the bowling so far, adding 1-18 last time out to the five wickets he had picked up in the first two games. He has been economical with the ball too.
R Mithun: The off-spinner has picked up four wickets so far and also proved he can be canny with the bat down the order too, with his breezy 20 in the second game.
MAD Team Form
Siechem Madurai Panthers started their title defence in dominant form but they have not backed it up. A nine-wicket thrashing of TUTI Patriots – which took just 12.2 overs to complete – did not end up setting the tone for their campaign.
Next up, they were punished with the ball as they conceded 182/6 against Dindigul Dragons and finished up 30 runs short of the target. Last time out, meanwhile, they posted 138/9 against VB Kanchi Veerans and lost by seven wickets with an over to spare.
Madurai Panthers Predicted Playing 11
Arun Karthik (wk), Sarath Raj, Shijit Chandran (c), Jagatheesan Kousik, Tushar Raheja, Akash Sumra, Abhishek Tanwar, R Mithun, Kiran Akash, Lokesh Raj, Rahil Shah
