The Siechem Madurai Panthers will take on the Salem Spartans in Match 4 of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 on June 8 at the Sri Ramakrishna College in Coimbatore. Both teams are eager to kick off their campaigns with a win after disappointing finishes last season, with Madurai and Salem occupying the seventh and eighth spots respectively in the 2024 standings. The Panthers will be banking on the likes of Gurjapneet Singh, P Saravanan, and Karthik Meiyappan, while the Spartans will look to key players such as Boopathi Kumar, Nidish Rajagopal, and M Poiyamozhi, the latter being last season’s top wicket-taker.
SMP vs SS, TNPL 2025: Match 4
- Date and time: June 08; 9:45 am GMT/ 03:15 pm local
- Venue: SNR College Cricket Ground
SNR College Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The SNR College Cricket Ground is known for assisting bowlers, featuring a slow and low surface that can be tricky for batters due to its occasional double-paced bounce. Early in the game, seamers are able to generate movement with the new ball, while spinners come into play as the pitch starts to grip and wear down. The dryness of the wicket enhances turn, making it challenging for batters to get comfortable at the crease. However, dew later in the evening—though not excessive—can lessen the effectiveness of spin and make it harder for bowlers to maintain their grip on the ball. Considering these factors, the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
