Dindigul Dragons will be up against Salem Spartans on Friday in Chennai. The Dragons didn’t really have a great start to the competition after they suffered a defeat in the first match but made a strong comeback to clinch victories in the second and third game respectively.
The Dragons' batting unit is looking in some good touch and they would look to continue the form going further ahead.
Spartans on the other hand, have tasted success only in one game out of the three that they have played while have lost the other two.
Despite picking up early wickets against Chepauk in their last encounter while defending 143, the Spartans stood at the losing end eventually after Uthirasamy Sasidev chipped in with a 30-ball 42 and a late surge from Harish Kumar who notched up an unbeaten 27 off 14 took Chepauk over the line.
Spartans failed to capitalise on the start they got with the ball and would look to turn the tables when they meet Dragons in the next clash.
