In the last game of the league stage, the Ruby Trichy Warriors will lock horns with the Chepauk Super Gillies. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the game. Two strong sides will compete against each other and it promises to be a cracker of a contest.

It’s a clash between the table-toppers. The Super Gillies are placed at the top of the table with nine points and the Ruby Trichy Warriors are placed at the second position with eight points. Chepauk Super Gillies are on a roll in the competition. After losing their second game, they have won all their next four matches to ensure that they qualify for the playoffs.

The Super Gillies’ batsmen have been brilliant for them with each of them contributing to the team’s success. We witnessed a sensational knock from Rajagopal Sathish in the previous game as they outplayed the Lyca Kovai Kings in all departments. They will be eager to keep the winning momentum behind them and finish at the top of the table with a win against the Warriors.

The Ruby Trichy Warriors, on the other hand, have a great chance of replacing the Super Gillies at the top of the table with a win against them. Having already qualified for the playoffs, they will be eyeing finishing in the top two. They will go into this game after a dominant win against the Salem Spartans after they registered their fourth win of the competition.

They have a strong bowling lineup. The spin department is led by their skipper Rahil Shah and supported nicely by young gun Mathivannan. Poiyamozhi has been good with his pace and they have the ability to restrict the opposition to a low total. Everyone needs to fire in unison to help the team finish the league stages with a win.
