The Salem Spartans will meet the Siechem Madurai Panthers in a contest of underperformers in the 26th game of the ongoing edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League.
The Spartans are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just a solitary win from six games this season. The situation is not too different for the Madurai Panthers, who have managed to win just one more game than the Spartans.
The fortunes of Spartans will depend on Akshay Srinivasan and Vijay Shankar, while Jagatheesan Kousik and NS Chaturved will give batting impetus to the Madurai Panthers.
