DID vs LKK Team Previews
Dindigul Dragons
The Dindigul Dragons haven’t been consistent this season, winning just 2 of their 4 matches so far. As a result, the team is currently 5th on the points table. A win here will take them into the top half of the table.
The batting has been sort of a mixed bag for Dindigul so far. Baba Indrajith is the leading run-scorer for them with 115 runs and is the mainstay of the team’s middle order. Vimal Khumar and Boopathi Kumar have played well in patches, scoring a half-century each, but they lack consistency.
Shivam Singh was promoted to the opening slot in the last match but wasn’t able to make much of an impact. The team will need at least one of these batsmen to play a long inning if they want to put up a big score. The bowlers have been a big letdown.
Sandeep Warrier and Ravichandran Ashwin, who are two of the most experienced bowlers in the squad, have managed to pick up only 4 wickets each, while Varun Chakaravarthy has only 2 against his name.
Dindigul Dragons Playing 11
Ravichandran Ashwin, Shivam Singh S, R Vimal Khumar, Baba Indrajith, Boopathi V Kumar, SS Warrier, Dinesh Raj S, Suboth Bhati, Varun Chakravarthy, Vignesh Puthur, VP Diran.
Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings have been clinical in their performance this season, winning all 4 matches played so far. They are currently at the top of the points table and a win here will take them through to the next stage.
While B Sachin did not play the last match due to an injury, he remains the leading run-scorer for the team with 169. Even in his absence, Lyca boasts of a strong batting line-up thanks to the presence of S Sujay, U Mukilesh, Sai Sudharsan, and Suresh Kumar.
U Mukilesh was in particularly good form in the last match as he scored 63 runs in just 54 deliveries. Skipper Shahrukh Khan has led the team from the front, scoring 70 runs and also picking up 8 wickets.
He is the joint-highest wicket-taker for the team along with M Mohammed. J Subramanyan, Gowtham Thamarai, and V Yudheeswaran have bowled well in patches, giving good support from the other end.

J Suresh Kumar, S Sujay, Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, U Mukilesh, Ram Arvindh, Atheeq Ur Rahman, M Mohammed, Manimaran Siddharth, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Valliappan Yudheeswaran.

Bet on the Lyca Kovai Kings to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Lyca is expected to start its batting with S Sujay and Suresh Kumar. Both of them are in decent form and have scored a half-century each. On the other hand, Dindigul has shuffled a bit with its opening pair and is yet to find a stable combination.
U Mukilesh has played well this season and is averaging 53.50 in 3 innings. He is a consistent performer in the TNPL and has scored at least 13 runs in each of his last 5 innings and has scored 2 half-centuries in the process. Looking at his form, it is worth risking a punt on him.
