With TNPL nearing the end of the tournament, Madurai Super Giants (MSG) and Ruby Kanchi Warriors (RKW) are set to lock horns for Match 19 of TNPL at NPR College Ground in Dindigul. The live cricket streaming of the TNPL match will be available on Hotstar, whereas the live telecast will be available on Star Sports 1 and Star Sports 1 HD. Both teams are bottom-ranked in the TNPL points table. MSG have not won a game yet while RKW have solitary victory to their side. MSDG have tried out various strategies to gain victory in TNPL, none have worked in their favour. The batting has not been to the mark and that has been the drawback for the side.

The only players who have stood out for MSG are Shijit Chandran, Arun Karthik and S Thiyagarajan. Rest have been below the level in the series. Even the bowling faltered in many places. MSG have to work on these aspects if they want to win the games left on hands here on. Muruganantham and M. Raja have shone with regards to bowlers. The chances of elimination are high for MSG, hopefully they will look to avenge this and prove their mettle in this TNPL match.
As for RKW, they have faltered after winning their other game in the super over. Though wicketkeeper batsman Nilesh Subramanium has got them off to good starts still the middle-order hasn’t given them adequate support. If RKW can depend on anyone it will be Bharath Shankar and Baba Indrajith. Shahrukh Khan can also convert his starts to big scores. With the training session under Brett Lee’s guidance, M Prabhu, R Jesuraj and J Kousik along with Alagh Pratibhan and L Ganesh need to pull their sleeves. RKW have three games on their hand and they need to win every game in order to qualify for the play-offs.
