TNPL 2021: Match 7 – IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Salem Spartans Preview, predicted XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

The IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans are set to take on the Salem Spartans in the seventh match of TNPL 2021 on Saturday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The Spartans had their opening TNPL match against the Lyca Kovai Kings washed off due to rain. Their bowlers had a tough time, as they conceded 168 runs in 18 overs. Fast bowler G Periyaswamy impressed, picking up two wickets at an economy rate of six.

Their other bowlers struggled, as Sai Sudharsan’s 43-ball 87 kept them at bay. The Spartans need to be more penetrative to make an impact in the TNPL. B. Praneesh had an off-day last time, leaking 38 runs off three overs at an economy rate of 12.7.

The Tamizhans, meanwhile, faced the Lyca Kovai Kings in their last TNPL game. Even their match got washed off after rain played spoilsport. Their batters didn’t have a great outing, as the team was reduced to 36/7 in 8.2 overs.

Rajagopal Satish picked up a five-wicket haul and ran through their batting order. The Tamizhans need to improve on their batting to go deep at TNPL 2021. Their bowlers are yet to be tested and are likely to face a stern challenge in the upcoming encounter.
