Tamil Nadu Premier League action will once again return to Dindigul when Ruby Trichy Warriors will take on Madurai Panthers on Wednesday, 31st July.

Both the sides have had a bad start to the tournament after having played three matches each but it is definitely Trichy Warriors who are under the pump after losing all their games so far. This would mean that the fixture against Madurai Panthers will be a virtual do or die match for them.

Playing XI Updates

Pitch Report

The pitches at Dindigul have been quite variable and one-sided. Teams have either struggled to post a good score batting first or struggled to defend any kind of total in the second inning. A look at the pitch before the game might give more indication as to how it will behave.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keepers- With Nilesh Subramanian missing out from the last game, the only possible option is K Mani Bharathi. If Subramaniam returns to the team, he can be picked without any hesitation.

Batsmen: KB Arun Karthik is one of the best batsmen in the league and he has to be picked at all costs. Madurai's new captain Shijit Chandran and Sarath Raj can also be picked for the Dream 11 side. From the Trichy Warriors' team, P Saravana Kumar and S Aravind will be good choices to beef up your batting stocks.

All-rounders: Both the all-rounder picks will be from Madurai. The experienced left-arm spinner Rahil Shah and J Kousik will be good choices.

Bowlers: In the last two games, Poiyamozhi has been a rare bright spot for the otherwise struggling Trichy Warriors. For Madurai, Kiran Akash and R Mithun have been consistently good so far and can be trusted for your team.

Captain: Arun Karthik will be a good option to be the captain of this side. Alternatives for captaincy options would be Saravana Kumar and J Kousik.
