SMP vs SS Probable Winners:

The Siechem Madurai Panthers and Salem Spartans both have a lot to prove this season in the TNPL. Siechem's batting unit has been revamped, and it appears that their bowling unit will have to carry the load. Salem, on the other hand, has remained with their core group and appears more settled overall. That gives them an advantage and makes them the best choice for this contest. Considering the team combination, Salem Spartans is expected to win this match.
