The surface has shown contrasting behaviors in the first two games played at the venue in Salem this season. Pacers have used the uneven bounce from the surface pretty well with spinners controlling the game in the middle. Batters can score runs once they are settled. The team winning the toss should bowl first as batting with a total in mind is easier. The first innings score is expected to be around 150.
There is no rain predicted during the match time in Salem ahead of this game.
There is no major news reported from both sides.
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Playing XI: Tushar Raheja (wk), NS Chaturved (c), S Radhakrishnan, Vijay Shankar, Rajendran Vivek, Balchander Anirudh, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, S Ajith Ram, Alliraj Karuppusamy, P Bhuvaneswaran, G Periyaswamy
Probable Impact Player: S Ganesh
Ba11sy Trichy Playing XI: Ganga Sridhar Raju (c), Jafar Jamal, Daryl Ferrario, Mani Bharathi (wk), R Rajkumar, Antony Dhas, Akshay Srinivasan, Karaparambil Monish, R Silambarasan, R Alexander, SP Vinod
Probable Impact Player: K Easwaran
Ganga Sridhar Raju: Ganga Sridhar Raju will be one of the safest captaincy picks for this game. He has been Trichy’s best batter so far as he is their highest run scorer with 112 runs in three games, including a half century in the last match. In addition, he was the highest run scorer at Salem last year and being an opener, there is a good chance he will come good on this surface.
Sai Kishore: Sai Kishore will be a safe captaincy choice considering the conditions in Salem. He has not been at his best but still a player to watch out for as he is too good a player to stay quiet for this long. In addition, Trichy has struggled against left arm spinners this season as they have 5 dismissals against them already.
Tushar Raheja: Tushar Raheja will be another great captaincy choice. He opens the batting for ITT and has been their best batter in the tournament so far. He is coming on the back of a brilliant 49, helping his team to get their first win of the season.
Ajith Ram: Ajith Ram will be the best differential pick going forward to this match. Trichy has not been the best team against left arm spinners this season. In addition, Ajith did well last season here at Salem, taking 4 wickets in 2 games.
K Easwaran: K Easwaran remains as one of the best differential picks from Trichy. The conditions at Salem are perfect for someone like him if given proper opportunity. He has been selected by only 25% of the teams as of writing this.
Antony Dhas: Antony Dhas is one of the first names in a significant number of teams as of writing this. However, he has not lived up to the expectation we had as someone who can contribute with both bat and ball. He will be a risky choice, therefore, it is advisable to avoid picking him in any of your XIs for this match.
If ITT bat first
Complete team with three of Silambarasan, Vinod, Alexander, Mani Bharathi
If BT bat first
Complete team with three of Ajith, Periyaswamy, Silambarasan, Rajkumar
If ITT bat first
Complete team with three of Silambarasan, Alexander, Rajkumar, Mani Bharathi
If BT bat first
Complete team with three of Radhakrishnan, Vivek, Bhuvneswaran, Periyaswamy
Both the teams are quite equal on paper. However, ITT’s bowling might have an edge over Trichy’s which makes them the favorites going into this game.
