In what is anticipated to be a thrilling tie, Madurai Super Giants take on Chepauk Super Gillies, in Match 21 of the ongoing Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2016 at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on Saturday, as the live cricket streaming of the game is available on starsports.com and Hotstar, while the live telecast of the match is available on Star Sports 1 and Star Sports HD1. The Giants are currently placed at the thi4rd spot with six points, while the gillies are placed at the bottom of the table, as they are yet to win the opening game, having played five matches already, they have virtually been ruled out of a playoffs spot.
In what is an important game for Chepauk Super Gillies in the TNPL, they will be up against Madurai Super Giants at the NPR College Ground at Natham on Saturday. Giants, who play two afternoon games on consecutive days, have a huge task at hand to beat Gillies. Of course, Gillies are the favourites for this one as they gained confidence thanks to a close win over table-toppers Dindigul Dragons in their previous game. That six-run win at Natham ensured that Gillies would in all probability qualify for the play-offs. They were superb in both batting and bowling and also made comebacks during crucial moments.

Their openers had a good game as Gopinath continued his run-scoring spree, and Thalaivan Sargunam also hitting form at the opportune moment. But the middle-order is an area of concern and Gillies will aim to fix it before the business end of the tournament starts. Even their bowling needs improvement as they left it till the last over to win against Dragons. Antony Dhas, who had a good start to the tournament, will aim to regain his wicket-taking form. Even R Alexander and Sai Kishore – the two left arm spinners – will be crucial in the later stages. It may be noted that the left-arm spinners are having a gala time so far in the tournament.
