Washington Sundar was the main pillar of the batting side as he smashed 56 runs in just 30 deliveries. The bowling side was led by Ajay Krishna and Murugan Ashwin who contributed with four and three wickets respectively.

On the other side, Ba11sy Trichy will look forward for the fifth time to getting their first win after losing their previous match to the Tiruppur Tamizhans by a 46-run margin. D Ferrario’s 42 runs off 40 deliveries and Jafar Jamal’s cameo of 30 runs in 14 balls are some of the positives that they should carry with them in the next match.

Match Prediction

SMP is a much more balanced side than RTW. Also, they have proven in their last match that they are capable of winning matches in any situation whether it be defending a below-average score or restricting opponents to a low scorer. Hence we fancy the Siechem Madhurai Panthers to win their third consecutive game in the Tamil Nadu T20 League.
