TN vs PUN Dream11 Team
Wicket-keeper: Dinesh Karthik should be an obvious choice here. He has been in a stellar form for India this season and he will look do the same while playing for his state team.
Batsmen: Punjab skipper Mandeep Singh has three 50’s to his name and has amassed 280 runs from 6 innings in this season. Jiwanjot Singh is also on a roll with the bat as he has got 234 runs from 8 innings with 124 being his top score so far.
Shubman Gill is also back in the side after scoring 110 runs in his only outing in this Ranji season. Meanwhile, for Tamil Nadu, Baba Indrajith and Abhinav Mukund have been doing the bulk of scoring with 326 and 281 runs respectively to their name from 7 innings.
With the return of Vijay Shankar, Tamil Nadu does possess some strength in their all-round department now, as he will be the most vital cog for the visitors.
Bowlers: With Mayank Markande unavailable, the impetus of Punjab’s bowling would be on the returning Siddharth Kaul who has 11 wickets to his name from 3 outings.
Rahil Shah, M Mohammad, and T Natrajan have 17, 15 and 13 wickets respectively to their name for Tamil Nadu. This trio is definitely to watch out for.
