The reigning champions Madurai Panthers will start their TNPL 2019 campaign against Jone Tuti Patriots at NPR College Ground, Dindigul tomorrow.
Madurai Panthers – who couldn’t win a single game in first two seasons stunned everyone as they clinched the trophy with a thumping 7 wickets win over Dindigul Dragons in the last final.
Tuti Patriots, on the opposite, failed to make it to the playoffs and finished fifth in the table with four wins and three defeats in seven encounters.
The clash will begin at 07:15 PM IST.
Head to Head
Last three encounters
Tuti Patriots – 2
Madurai Panthers – 1
The NPR Ground in Dindigul is a perfect T20 wicket. It is a high-scoring venue due to shorter boundaries and offers help to batters as well as spinners.
However, expect the surface getting slower in the game as it will host two back to back games.
