TND vs KEL Team Previews

Tamil Nadu

Thanks to their superb local talent, Tamil Nadu have had a superb tournament up until now and that was expected of them as well. Not only are they the defending champions, but they also did a fantastic job in the group stage, accumulating 16 points, thanks to four fantastic wins.

Their only loss came against Goa, which was rather an aberration and not a norm. Led by Vijay Shankar, they finished at the second spot in the Elite Group A. They are coming off a win massive win over Punjab with Narayan Jagadeesan and Vijay Shankar scoring superb fifties to take them through while chasing a total of 145.

On paper, Tamil Nadu have a fantastic side that is well rich in experience and is coming into the match on the back of a terrific run. They have a terrific set of bowlers coupled with an experienced batting unit. If they are able to play to their potential, there's no reason why they won't be able to progress in this competition.

Tamil Nadu Playing 11

B Sai Sudharsan, Sanjay Yadav, Murugan Ashwin, Ravisrinivasan S Kishore, Narayan Jagadeesan, C Hari Nishanth, Sandeep Warrier, V Shankar, Shahrukh Khan, M Mohammed, Saravana Kumar P.


Kerala Knights

Kerala were one of the underdogs when the tournament started, but the way their run has panned out has clearly surprised one and all. They did not have a clinical run in the group stage, but they just managed to sneak through into the knockouts. They ended up with 12 points and a decent net run rate of 0.363 before meeting Himachal Pradesh in their first knockout.

Against Himachal Pradesh, Kerala's bowlers did a fantastic job before the likes of Sanju Samson and Mohammad Azharuddin did a stellar job to pull off a one-sided win. Sanju Samson has been the chief architect of Kerala's run up until now, but the other batsmen have not disappointed either. So good have the Kerala batsmen been with the bat that they have only lost a total of six wickets combined in their last three matches.

On paper, Kerala do look a little over-reliant on Sanju Samson and Mohammad Azharuddin, but they do have other players as well who can do that job. This is a tough game for them and if Sanju Samson is able to produce something special, Kerala should be able to surprise Tamil Nadu in this upcoming fixture.

Kerala Knights Playing 11

Sachin Baby, Unnikrishnan Manukrishnan, Jalaj Saxena, Sanju Samson, Akhil M S, Sudhesan Midhun, Vishweshwar A Suresh, Rohan Kunnummal, Mohammed Azharuddeen, KM Asif, Vishnu Vinod.

TND vs KEL Betting Tips

This is a South Indian derby and a cracker of a contest is certainly on the cards. Both these sides have a different style of play and it would be interesting to see who emerges out on top. While Tamil Nadu have some fantastic players available at their disposal, Kerala have Sanju Samson in terrific form. While Tamil Nadu are a better side between the two, stopping Sanju Samson is not going to be easy. For that reason and the odds on offer, betting on a Kerala win should be the way to go here.
