The conditions on offer at the Salem Cricket Ground are definitely not suited to the normal T20 pitches that are generally flat in nature. The wicket is dry, slow and batting gets tough as the game progresses. Spinners will come into play from the first ball and will enjoy bowling on this surface.
The temperature is expected to be around 33°C with hot and humid conditions to loom throughout the day. Humidity levels are predicted to be between 60-70%.

LKK vs NRK: Dream 11 Top Picks
Balu Surya: Although 4 matches is not a huge sample size, the pitch at Salem has shown us enough to understand how it behaves. Batters have struggled to get going and new batters on the crease are extremely uncomfortable and take time to understand the conditions. Surya has been amongst the wickets throughout the tournament and his slow right arm off break will definitely be a thorn in every batters game.
Sanjay Yadav: Fresh off a match defining century in the previous game, Sanjay will have a different set of challenge on the slow and difficult pitch at Salem. Scoring here has been extremely difficult with batter unable to press the pedal and accelerate but Royal Kings will bank on their batter to stay on the crease and play smart, something he has done throughout the tournament and also why he is highest scorer in the tournament.
