Salem Spartans are still searching for their first win of the season, losing all three of their games so far. Chepauk Super Gillies have had their own struggles, with just one win from their last three, but they hold a big edge over this exact opponent, having won every recent meeting between these two sides. Narayan Jagadeesan captains Chepauk, and S Abishiek leads a Salem side desperate to turn the corner. For the CSG vs SS Fantasy Team, these recent results and the performances of key players from both sides will be important factors to consider.

Their most recent win came last season, chasing down 160 comfortably. Salem Spartans will need something different to finally break that pattern.
CSG vs SS Squads
Chepauk Super Gillies: Narayan Jagadeesan captains the side and keeps wicket, leading the most successful team in TNPL history with four titles.

Full squad: S Abishiek (c), Rajendran Vivek, Eshwar M (wk), M Dinesh Vedaguru, R Kavin, Udaya Kumar M, C Hari Nishaanth, Boopathi Kumar, Nidhish S Rajagopal, Sunny Sandhu, Harish Kumar, M Poiyamozhi, B Iyappan, Rahil Shah, S Ajith Ram, VS Karthick Manikandan, ME Yazh Arun Mozhi, Mohammed Mohammed, Dev Rahul, Sudhan Kandepan.
Pitch Report
NPR College Ground continues to play as a strong batting pitch, with an average first innings score of 159 across 88 matches. The ground has leaned slightly towards the team bowling first this season, winning 53 percent of matches, and chasing has worked for both these sides in their recent games here.
Weather Report
This is a real concern for Wednesday. Forecasts show a rain chance of around 65 percent, with hot, humid conditions near 96°F (36°C). Check the toss closely before locking your fantasy team, since a delay or reduced overs game is a real possibility.

These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss, and rain could force late changes.
Key Player Battles
Narayan Jagadeesan vs M Poiyamozhi: Jagadeesan is one of the most consistent run scorers in TNPL history, and Poiyamozhi’s proven wicket taking record gives Salem their best shot at an early breakthrough.
Ashwanth Valthapa vs Sunny Sandhu: The auction’s biggest buy against Salem’s all round option in the middle overs.
Swapnil Singh vs S Abishiek: Swapnil’s left arm spin against Salem’s captain, who will want to lead by example with the bat and finally get his side on the board.
CSG vs SS Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicketkeepers: Narayan Jagadeesan (C), S Abishiek (VC), RS Mokit Hariharan,
Batters: Ashwanth Valthapa, Harish Kumar, Rajendran Vivek,
All-rounders: Sunny Sandhu, Swapnil Singh,
Bowlers: M Poiyamozhi, K Aashiq, Abhishek Tanwar,
Jagadeesan gets the captaincy as Chepauk’s most consistent batter and captain. Abishiek is vice captain as Salem’s captain, still searching for his side’s first win. The rest of the team mixes both batting orders with the main bowlers, since this ground has favoured chasing recently.
CSG vs SS Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicketkeepers: Narayan Jagadeesan, S Abishiek,
Batters: Ashwanth Valthapa (VC), VS Karthick Manikandan,
All-rounders: Rajendran Vivek, Swapnil Singh, Sunny Sandhu,
Bowlers: M Poiyamozhi (C), Prem Kumar, S Ajith Ram, Boopathi Kumar,
For grand leagues, try Poiyamozhi as captain. He’s a proven wicket taker who won’t be picked as much as the bigger batting names. Valthapa as vice captain gives you the auction’s most expensive buy, still with a point to prove. VS Karthick Manikandan and Boopathi Kumar are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.
Match Prediction
Chepauk Super Gillies have the recent head to head record firmly in their favour, having won every meeting between these two sides for the last five years running. Salem Spartans have shown some fight in their losses this season without quite getting over the line, and they’ll be desperate to finally open their account. Chepauk Super Gillies are the clear pick, though rain could easily disrupt how this one plays out.
