SKM Salem Spartans

S Abishiek leads the Salem Spartans this season. Known for his calm temperament and tactical awareness, Abishiek has started the season with a win under his belt. He brings composure to the young side and leads from the front with smart cricketing decisions.

The Spartans boast a fairly deep batting lineup, with Hari Nishaanth and Nidhish Rajagopal offering strong top-order stability. Wicketkeeper R Kavin adds punch in the middle, while Abishiek and Rahil Shah contribute as reliable floaters. 

Rahil Shah, Ajith Ram, and M Poiyamozhi provide quality spin and pace options. The bowling unit thrives on tightening the screws in the middle overs and delivering under pressure at the death. Versatile all-rounders like Sunny Sandhu and Harish Kumar enhance the bowling mix with their adaptability.

Last time they met the Madurai Panthers, the Salem Spartans chased down 164 with ease to seal a convincing victory. Despite Madurai setting a decent total of 164/6, Salem responded with a composed chase, finishing at 167/4 in 18.4 overs. Hari Nishaanth starred with the bat, anchoring the innings brilliantly.

Trichy Grand Cholas

Suresh Kumar, a seasoned domestic player, captains the Trichy Grand Cholas and also keeps wickets. The team benefits greatly from his extensive experience and intelligent approach to the game. 

With Suresh Kumar, Sanjay Yadav, and Washington Sundar in the top and middle order, Trichy has capable batters who can pace their innings and accelerate when needed. Renowned for their late-innings impact, Jagatheesan Kousik and Antony Dhas are trusted finishers in the domestic T20 circuit. 

The bowling attack is led by Athisayaraj Davidson and Ganesh Moorthi, both of whom can deliver in the powerplay. Washington Sundar provides spin control, while Arya Yohan Menon and T Saran add depth to the bowling attack. 

In their first match against Nellai Royal Kings, Trichy posted a total of 157/8, courtesy of cameos from their middle order. However, their bowling couldn’t contain Nellai’s chase, as the Royal Kings reached the target in 19.2 overs with 5 wickets in hand. Sanjay Yadav showed promise, but the bowling unit lacked penetration in the latter stages.
