The 24th Match match of Tamil Nadu Premier League season 2022 is scheduled to be held at SCF Cricket Ground, Salem. The pitch here at this venue is flat and good for batting as there is no bounce and pace. Out-field on this venue is very fast and the ball will travel to the boundary very quickly. It also has a lot of help for the spin bowlers but almost all teams in this tournament have a strong batting order so this does not matter. According to the live cricket score, a total of 180 runs should be a par score.

The weather forecast in Salem is good for a cricket match. The forecast is predicting almost no chances of rain on match day and we will have a full match to enjoy.
