LKK vs IDTT Team Previews
Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings began their title defense in style as they defeated the Chepauk Super Gillies in the season opener.
While it was undoubtedly a clinical win, the Kovai Kings will look to improve in a few areas as the tournament goes ahead. The opening pair of S Sujay and Suresh Kumar fell cheaply in the last match and will hope to put up a better performance this time around.
The team has a strong middle order consisting of batsmen like Shahrukh Khan, B Sachin, and U Mukilesh, while all-rounder Atheeq Ur Rahman adds depth to their batting. Sachin was in particularly good form in the last match as he scored 63 runs to get his team to a match-winning total.
The bowlers, particularly the spinners, bowled brilliantly on Friday. J Subramanyan and Shahrukh Khan gave away just 27 runs in 7 overs while also picking up a wicket each. Gowtham Thamarai, M Siddharth, and M Mohammed will lead the seam attack in this match.
Lyca Kovai Kings Playing 11
J Suresh Kumar, S Sujay, B Sachin, Shahrukh Khan, U Mukilesh, Ram Arvindh, Atheeq Ur Rahman, M Mohammed, Manimaran Siddharth, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Valliappan Yudheeswaran.
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans
The Tiruppur Tamizhans have failed to reach the knockout stages in each of the last 4 editions. They will now hope to get a good start and turn things around this season.
The franchise made plenty of noise in the pre-season auction, splurging 22 lakh rupees on Sai Kishore to strengthen the team. He is not only one of the best spinners in TNPL but also handy with the bat. Kishore will be joined by Ajith Ram in the spin department, making it a potent combination.
Another key buy for the team is T Natarajan, who bowls well during the death overs. Natarajan will feature in the seam department alongside P Bhuvaneswaran.
Coming to the batting, Vijay Shankar and Balchander Aniruddh will be the batsmen to watch out for in the middle order, while Tushar Raheja is likely to retain his place at the top of the order.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the SCF Stadium is well-balanced, offering help to both, the batsmen and the bowlers. The surface is hard, with very little grass. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing strokeplay. However, the bowlers will get help if they hit the right areas. A first-inning score of around 160 will be competitive on this surface.
The weather is likely to be humid with temperatures below 30 degrees. Dew might be a factor here since it is a D/N fixture.
