In the first match of the ACA Quadrangular Senior Men’s T20 League 2023, Andhra and Tamil Nadu will lock horns at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 24.
Team Andhra will be led by keeper-batter KS Bharat in this edition. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23, Andhra couldn’t create any impact despite having some big names in their squad.
They bagged just two wins in six games to finish at the fifth spot in Elite Group D. They would be looking for a change in fortunes in this four-team tournament.
On the other hand, Tamil Nadu finished in the third position in Elite Group E in the previous Syed Mushtaq Ali season with four wins. However, they couldn't advance to the semi-finals due to a poor net run rate.
They have pretty strong batting and bowling line-ups with very good IPL experience. They would be aiming for some big victories to start the tournament with.
