This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the 14th game of the TNPL between the Ruby Trichy Warriors and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans that is scheduled to take place on the 29th of July 2021.
The Ruby Trichy Warriors led by Rahil Shah will want to get back to their winning ways when they take on the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans on Thursday at the Chepauk. This will be Trichy Warriors’ 5th game while it is only game 4 for the Tamizhans.
After winning 2 of their first 3 games, the Ruby Warriors suffered their 2nd defeat of the competition when they lost to the Dindigul Dragons by 5 wickets on Tuesday. Batting first, the Trichy team made 145/5 with Nidhish Rajagopal who made 45 being the top-scorer of the innings. But they couldn’t defend as the Dragons chased it in the final over of the game.
On the other hand, the Tiruppur team registered their 1st win of the competition in the previous game against the Nellai Royal Kings. After restricting them to 148 thanks to 3/23 from its skipper M Mohammad, and 3/42 from Rajkumar, the Tamizhans chased it down with a ball to spare and by 3 wickets. Maan Bafna made 72 off 51, while S Siddharth scored 41, and these were the only 2 significant contributions that led them to a win.
Match Details
Venue: M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Pitch and Weather: The pitch of M Chidambaram Stadium has looked unpredictable so far. Few games have been low-scoring, while there have high-scoring ones as well. This Chennai surface has something for everyone involved. Batsman got runs after getting in, while the pacers have found assistance due to overcast conditions and spinners get help here most of the time. It will be another game between a total of 140-150. The weather will be cloudy, humid with no chances of rain and temperatures will be close to 31 during match time.
Date & Time: July 29, 7.30 PM IST
Probable Playing XIs
The Ruby Trichy Warriors despite the loss may not want to change the side but they would want to work batting pace during the powerplays. As its openers, Amit Sathvik and Sumant Jain batted less than a 100 strike rate and this resulted in them scoring only 145. This could have been more, had the openers given them a quick start, the total could have been more.
Similarly, the Tiruppur Tamizhans, despite their successful chase of 149, would be worried about the form of their batters. Except for Bafna and Siddharth, none of the others reached double figures in their innings.
