Kaushik Gandhi led side bounced back outstandingly after losing the inaugural game of the ongoing season. They won their last four games of the season on the trot and turn the table. Skipper K Gandhi had a very average season before the last game but he is back in form in time. He scored 50 runs in the previous game. He would be keen to carry on his form and lead the team from the front.
In the previous game, a contribution from U Sasidev (41 of 27 balls), Skipper K Gandhi (50 of 48 balls) and Harish Kumar (53 of 20 balls) piled the massive first inning score of 191 runs. Later, bowers did an excellent job to bowled out the batting heavy opponent on only 130 runs. H Gopinath has been in great form this season, he is top scorer for the side with 179 runs from 5 games at an average of 35. Besides, Sridhar Raju scored 138 runs at an average of 34.50.
Harish Kumar, arguably one of the best all-rounders in the ongoing season has been in great form. He was the star performer for the side for his blistering knock of 53 runs and 4 wickets. He will be eying for similar sort of performance versus the fearsome Madurai Panthers.
The bowling unit led by G Periyaswamy and R Alexander has been in excellent form in the ongoing tournament. G Periyaswamy is currently the leading wicket-taker in the season, bagged 9 wickets from 5 games. Besides R Alexander also supported equally well, he took 8 wickets from 5 games. A lot would depend on this bowling duo to deliver crucial breakthroughs.

Likewise the opponent, Madurai Panther will be coming to this game high on confidence following their two crucial successive wins in the previous games. The team got a good bunch of young talented and experienced player in the side.
The 32year-old wicket-keeper batsman, Arun Karthik, has been the vital cog in the batting unit. Currently is the leading run-scorer for the side, scored 242 runs from 5 games which also include the 102 runs knock from last game. He is a big match-winner for the side and will be keen to replicate the similar performances like he did last year.
However, other top-order batsmen AS Raj, A Giridhar, and R Mitun also need to step up and contribute with some decent knock. The middle-order batsmen would like to get some run under the belt to get the confidence back before the big games.
On the bowling front, L Kiran Akash has been the standout bowler for the side, picked 8 wickets from 5 games. N Selva Kumaran was brilliant in last game, he picked four crucial wickets and helped the team to defend the score. Bowling unit needs to be more accurate versus difficult Chepauk Super Gillies batting line-up.
Karthikeyan R, Sarath Raj A, R Nilesh Subramanian, L Kiran Akash, Rahil Shah, Jagatheesan Kousik, Arun Karthik, N Selva Kumaran, Shijit Chandran, Abhishek Tanwar, R Mithun

The track in Dindigul hasn't been a high scoring one this season. Not a lot of runs are being scored on this ground in the last few games and the same pattern is expected to follow.
Batting in the second innings could get a little trickier with the pitch slowing down. In the last 5 TNPL matches at the venue, the average score is 151. Out of last 5 games of TNPL, chasing team won-1, lost-2, Tie-2.
We anticipate the team winning toss will certainly look to bat first.
This will be a high-voltage encounter when the past TNPL champion sides take on each other. Chepauk Super Gillies, both batting and bowling unit doing their job to perfections. The side has many match winners. On the other hand, Madurai Panthers got good top order batsmen but they have vulnerabilities in the middle order batting. They will need to play out of their skin to win this contest. With a better team on paper and superb performance in the earlier game, Chepauk Super Gillies will have an edge over Madurai Panthers.
We predict Chepauk Super Gillies will win this match!
