Ground Stat:

Average 1st Innings Total at NPR College, Dindigul (Tamil Nadu Premier League) - 159

Average 2nd Innings Total at NPR College, Dindigul (Tamil Nadu Premier League) - 145

Current Form Salem Spartans:

Salem Spartans finished at the 5th position on points table after league stages and barely missed out on the Playoffs spot in the last edition.

The top run scorer for Salem Spartans in the last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League was Nidhish Rajagopal with 252 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Salem Spartans in the last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League was M Mohammed with 12 scalps under his belt.

Salem Spartans are a very strong side this year. They have couple of match winners in their side like Rajendran Vivek and Abhishek Tanwar. They are expected to do very well in the tournament.

Players to look out for:

1. Nidhish Rajagopal - He is one of the best batters for Salem Spartans. Rajagopal can pace his innings very well in the middle overs and get his team a great base for a nice finish.

2. Abhishek Tanwar - He is pure wicket taker, who tricks the batters with vast range of variations. The batters find it highly difficult to get under his medium paced balls.

Current Form Lyca Kovai Kings:

Lyca Kovai Kings performed poorly in the last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League. They finished at the 6th position after league stages and failed to qualify for the Playoffs.

The top run scorer for Lyca Kovai Kings in the last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League was Balasubramaniam Sachin with 254 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Lyca Kovai Kings in the last edition of Tamil Nadu Premier League was R Divakar with 7 scalps under his belt.

Lyca Kovai Kings are a star studded side but apart from a few senior players, the team lacks experience and it would be a huge factor going forward in the tournament.

Players to look out for:

1. Shahrukh Khan - He doesn't need much introduction in Tamil Nadu cricket. Shahrukh Khan is a legendary right handed middle order batter. He is expected to score plenty of runs in the tournament.

2. M Mohammed - He is one of the best T20 bowlers in Tamil Nadu cricket. Mohammed can bowl with a lot of control and he asserts a lot of pressure on to the opposition batters with his consistency.
