Match & Dream 11 Prediction, Betting Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Analysis - Jul 21, 2019
The last two remaining teams of TNPL 2019 are about to play their first game. The Lyca Kovai Kings are going to be taking on the VB Kanchi Veerans. Neither of these two teams was able to make it to the playoffs in 2018 and will be hoping that this year the story is different.
VB Kanchi Veerans finished second last and had only two wins to show for their efforts. The Lyca Kovai Kings had the same number of wins as the teams that qualified but their net run-rate let them down.
Both teams know the value of a good start to the TNPL and will approach this first game with full intensity.
Lyca Kovai Kings vs VB Kanchi Veerans is going to be played at the NPR College Ground, Dindigul on the 21st of July 2019.
LKK vs VKV Team Previews
Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings have a good bowling attack thanks to the likes of T Natrajan, Shahrukh Khan, and Rangarajan on their side. This is their biggest strength and the manner in which they can win their games.
The matches in Dindigul have been low-scoring so far and there is nothing to suggest that things are going to turn around. This means that the bowlers have to be consistent with their lines and length so that they can keep the runs down.
Most of the runs have come with the new ball so the Lyca Kovai Kings will want to keep things quiet during the powerplay.
The batting is going to depend on Abhinav Mukund and Ashwin Venkatraman. There is not too much to follow although their middle and lower order does have some handy all-rounders.
The game plan for the Lyca Kovai Kings must be simple. They must not aim for too many runs and bank on their bowling to help win them the game.
Lyca Kovai Kings Playing 11
Abhinav Mukund, B Anirudh Sita Ram, Akkil Srinaath, S Manigandan, Pradosh Ranjan Paul, Malolan Rangarajan, Shahrukh Khan, S Ajith Ram, Antony Dhas, T Natarajan, Krishnamoorthy Vignesh.
VB Kanchi Veerans
The VB Kanchi Veerans have one of the most talented youngsters from Tamil Nadu leading them in the form of Baba Aparajith. The problem for them has been that Baba AParajith has not been able to master T20 cricket in TNPL like he has the Ranji Trophy.
How long can a player of Baba Aparajith’s caliber continue to fail at a level cricket he would expect himself to dominate?
We think this is the year when Baba Aparajith turns things around. The kind of wicket he is going to get at Dindigul is not to his liking, though, and that may work against him.
There is very little batting talent in the side apart from him. Players like Rajgopal Sathish, AUshik Srinivas, and Sanjay Yadav are some of the ones that the VB Kanchi Veerans will look towards to keep them in the game but this season is looking like another uphill battle for them.
VB Kanchi Veerans Playing 11
B Aparajith, Rajagopal Sathish, S Lokeshwar, R Silambarasan, R Sanjay Yadav, K Vishal Vaidhya, S Arun, P Francis Rokins, U Mukilesh, NS Harish, Rangaraj Suthesh.
Pitch and Conditions
Luca Kovai Kings vs VB Kanchi Veerans TNPL 2019 is going to be played at the NPR College Ground, Dindigul. There is some rain around in Dindigul but it typically stops by the time the match is scheduled to start in the evening.
The pitch at Dindigul has been disappointing. It does not have any pace and the bounce is very low as well. That does not allow for attractive cricket to be played as the big shots are very rare. We expect another game where 120-130 is a winning total.
