Lyca Kovai Kings will square off against Salem Spartans in the season opener of the TNPL 2021 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Lyca Kovai Kings will have high expectations from Punjab Kings all-rounder Shahrukh to deliver with both bat and ball. However, the Kings will miss the services of yorker specialist T Natarajan. The other pacers will have to come good if the club wants to start their campaign with a victory.
Salem's pacer G Periyaswamy is a player to watch out for in the season opener. He was the highest wicket-taker in TNPL 2019 and picked up a five-wicket haul in the final as well. Murugan Ashwin and Vijay Shankar are two key players who have played in the IPL and will look to help the Spartans to the trophy with inspirational performances.

Pitch Report
The side batting first must make the best use of the given conditions as the pitch is likely to slow down as the game progresses, making it difficult to chase targets at this venue. For the bowlers, there is a lot of spin on purchase and thus both teams will look to play three spinners on this track.
The captains will want to choose to bat first if they win the toss in the TNPL 2021 season opener.
