Team Overview & Recent Performance of Salem Spartans and Trichy Cholas
SKM Salem Spartans
Salem Spartans enter this clash with a mixed record. In TNPL 2024, they secured a 7-wicket win against Dindigul Dragons (Match 6) 8, showcasing their chasing prowess. However, they also suffered a loss to Lyca Kovai Kings, scoring 171/4 but falling short in defense 9. Their 2025 campaign has been inconsistent, with fluctuating batting performances. Key players like their middle-order batters will need to step up to stabilize innings.
Trichy Grand Cholas
Trichy Grand Cholas struggled in TNPL 2024, finishing at the bottom of the standings 3. Their recent form in 2025 remains shaky, highlighted by a low score of 122/10 in 16.5 overs against an unnamed opponent 10. Despite a 35-run win over Salem Spartans in a previous encounter 2, their batting lineup lacks consistency, and their bowling attack has failed to dominate.
Current Standings of Salem Spartans and Trichy Cholas
As of Match 7, TNPL 2025 standings are not explicitly stated, but historical context reveals Salem Spartans’ tendency to hover around mid-table, while Trichy remain perennial strugglers. A win here could boost Salem’s playoff hopes, whereas Trichy desperately need points to avoid another cellar finish.

The surface at the SNR College Cricket Ground is expected to favour teams batting second while offering a clear advantage in chasing. The spinners are likely to find assistance throughout the match and the overall scoring might remain modest.
