Siechem Madurai Panthers will lock horns with Chepauk Super Gillies in the third fixture of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2022. The high-voltage clash will take place at Indian Cement Company Ground, Tirunelveli, on Saturday (June 25).
The defending champions Chepauk Super Gillies lost their opening game against Nellai Super Kings in a Super Over. Chasing 185 for victory, the Super Gillies finished on 184 for 7 in the allocated 20 overs.
In the Super Over, the Kaushik Gandhi-led side posted nine runs on the board, courtesy of the final ball-six from N. Jagadeesan. The Royal Kings chased down the total on the penultimate delivery to hand the Super Gillies their first defeat of the season.
Siechem Madurai Panthers, on the other hand, finished the last season at the sixth spot in the group stage with just two wins from the seven matches. Led by NS Chaturved, the Panthers would be keen to make a fresh start in this season of the TNPL.
