IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) will square off against Salem Spartans (SS) in the 22nd match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the Indian Cement Company Ground in Tirunelveli on Saturday (July 1). Both ITT and SS suffered defeats in their previous encounters against Dindigul Dragons (DD) and Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK).
Sai Kishore was the top scorer for ITT in their match against DD. The all-rounder scored impressive 45 runs off 35 deliveries in the clash. He even bagged two wickets in the second innings, but his efforts went in vain as ITT eventually lost the game. On the other hand, despite Sunny Sandhu’s three wickets in the first innings, SS batters failed terribly to chase the target set by LKK and suffered a big 79-run defeat.
ITT are currently placed on the sixth position of the TNPL 2023 points table and will be looking to win all their remaining matches to stay alive in the playoffs race. Meanwhile, SS will also search for their second win in the tournament.
