LKK vs DID Team Previews
Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings have been clinical in their performance throughout this season. With just 1 loss so far, they have reached their 3rd consecutive TNPL finals.
Much will depend on the performance of Shahrukh Khan. He has been a brilliant all-rounder throughout this season, scoring 222 runs and also picking up 12 wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker for Lyca. That said there are a couple of other solid performers in the middle order in the form of Sai Sudharsan and U Mukilesh.
Sudharsan is the leading run-scorer for Lyca with 224 runs scored at a strike rate of 155.55. GV Vignesh and S Sujay are likely to open the batting for the team and will hope to give a brisk start. J Subramanyan and M Siddharth have supported Shahrukh Khan during the middle overs.
Gowtham Thamarai and M Mohammed will begin the attack with the new ball. The duo has picked up 15 wickets between them.
Lyca Kovai Kings Playing 11
J Suresh Kumar, S Sujay, Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, U Mukilesh, Ram Arvindh, Atheeq Ur Rahman, M Mohammed, Manimaran Siddharth, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Valliappan Yudheeswaran.
Dindigul Dragons
The Dindigul Dragons were rather inconsistent during the group stage but the team saw a late surge in form. They are coming into this finals after winning back-to-back knockout matches and will be feeling pretty confident.
Shivam Singh has been in excellent form with the bat and is the leading run-scorer of the season with 360 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin has promoted himself to the top of the order and has scored back-to-back half-centuries. Another batsman to watch out for is Baba Indrajith.
However, the batting other than the trio has been very ordinary, to say the least. Vimal Khumar, Boopathi Kumar, and Dinesh Raj have been rather inconsistent.
The spinners bowled brilliantly in the last match as Ashwin, Varun Chakaravarthy, and P Vignesh picked up 6 wickets between them, and will be hoping to do the same in this match. Sandeep Warrier is the joint-highest wicket-taker for Dindigul with 10 wickets while Subodh Bhati has picked up 7.
Dindigul Dragons Playing 11
Ravichandran Ashwin, Boopathi V Kumar, Baba Indrajith, Suboth Bhati, Varun Chakravarthy, Dinesh Raj S, Vignesh Puthur, SS Warrier, R Vimal Khumar, C Sarath Kumar, VP Diran.

Pitch and Conditions
In Qualifier 2, we saw that the surface at Chepauk Stadium was quite slow, and favored the slower bowlers. The ball grips the surface and turns quite a bit. The batsmen will need to settle down before they can start playing the big shots. The quick bowlers will get some seam movement with the new ball.
Things will improve for the batsmen in the second half. Nevertheless, anything over 160 will be a competitive total in a final match.
The weather is likely to be overcast and there is a high possibility of rain interrupting play on Sunday.
LKK vs DID Betting Tips
Both teams have earned their place in the Finals after playing some excellent cricket and we can expect more of the same. The Lyca Kovai Kings have an edge in this contest as this is their 3rd consecutive final and they will be able to soak the pressure. That said, Dindigul will not let them have an easy win.
Bet on the Lyca Kovai Kings to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Shahrukh Khan has been in excellent form with the bat this season. He has scored 4 half-centuries and has been the top batsman for his team in 4 of the 5 matches he has batted so far. With such lucrative odds on offer, this is an excellent bet to punt on.
As both teams have some in-form batsmen playing for them, we are expecting at least one of them to play a big knock. The pitch has favored runs and we think one of the batters might end up making merry.
