The 12th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League will feature Salem Spartans going up against Trichy Grand Cholas to recover from their inconsistent start. After three games played, Salem have only managed two points courtesy of their win against Dindigul Dragons. Meanwhile, Trichy overcame their losing start to the season to pick up a 67-run victory over Madurai Panthers. The result has significantly improved the Net Run Rate (NRR) for Trichy.
In the past, this fixture has been a rich source of points for Trichy with four wins in the last five meetings. However, Salem Spartans managed to overturn a poor head-to-head record and pick up a five-wicket victory in the last meeting during the 2023 campaign. It could be a key game for both teams who are stuck on two points each. A victory in this game could give them the chance to catch Nellai Royal Kings or Lyca Kovai Kings.

Salem Spartans started the new campaign with a disappointing loss against Madurai Panthers. It was a game in which the middle and lower order batsmen did not offer much to the team’s cause. Thankfully, it was not an issue in the recent win over Dindigul Dragons, as the team did not lose more than three wickets in the entire innings.
The form of R Kavin has been spectacular throughout the season and his presence is a major boost for a team badly in need of a victory. After his 70 runs in the first game, the 27-year-old has scored 62 runs in the last two games put up an overall tally of 132 runs – the highest of any player so far this season.
Salem Spartans have not been receiving a lot of from the lower order. Shijit Chandran’s 20 runs against Nellai Royal Kings is the best performance amongst many of the middle and lower batsmen over the three matches.
Sunny Sandhu is the top wicket-taker for Salem Spartans. The 20-year-old has impressed immensely in the early stages of the 2024 season. He has picked up a wicket in all three innings and his tight bowling was a major factor in keeping Dindigul Dragons in check.
R Kavin has been in solid touch throughout the TNPL 2024 season, scoring 70, 46, and 16 runs in his three matches. With the batter-friendly pitch at SNR Ground, we expect Kavin to continue his hot streak and score over 13.5 runs.

Trichy Grand Cholas were left disappointed to have started the new season with a loss but the team quickly rectified matters with a big win over Madurai Panthers. The big victory has provided a significant boost to the NRR figures and the team finds itself in third place as a result. Trichy are still two points away from the table leaders – Nellai Royal Kings and Kovai Kings.
Waseem Ahmed is the top scorer for Trichy with 96 runs from his two innings. Despite starting the campaign with just six runs from his first game, the 23-year-old came close to hitting a first century in the Tamil Nadu Premier League. Sanjay Yadav, though, was the star of the show against the Dindigul Dragons. His 60 runs helped Trichy post a big score, while he was equally brilliant with the ball after picking up three wickets to his name. Sanjay Yadav now has 84 runs from his two innings.
K Easwaran has been the pick of the bunch for Trichy Grand Cholas with seven wickets so far. He is the top wicket taker in the 2024 season although he is heavily assisted by the figures of 6/32 in the game against Dindigul Dragons. Rajkumar was one of the impressive bowlers against Madurai Panthers.
Playing in the middle order, Shyam Sundar has been impactful for Trichy with consistent scores of 23 and 30* in his last two matches. Given his current form, we expect Shyam Sundar to score over 18.5 runs against Salem.

The weather conditions are likely to be mostly cloudy on Sunday. The game will be played in higher-than-average wind conditions. The wind speed is expected to be around 25 km/h. The pitch has been conducive towards batting on most occasions. However, three out of the last four first innings score on this ground has been less than 150.
The SNR College Cricket Stadium gets ready to host only its second Tamil Nadu Premier League game of the season. Just a day after hosting the game between Madurai Panthers and Tiruppur Tamizhans, the ground prepares to host its 18th TNPL game. The average first innings score stands at 152 while the average second innings score is 143.
The team which wins the toss will be keen on bowling first. There have been four consecutive games in which the chasing team has come out on top. The last time a team batting first emerged victorious on this ground was in June 2023.
This game is likely to be a thrilling encounter between two teams who have had their share of inconsistencies at the start of the season. Salem Spartans are still struggling with their middle and lower order. The bowling attack is also not as great compared to the bowling attack of Trichy Grand Cholas. Ultimately, the strength in the batting order coupled with a better bowling attack should help Trichy pick up a victory.
Our prediction is for Trichy Grand Cholas to win
