MPS vs LKK Team Previews

Madurai Panthers

A victory in this game will take the Siechem Madurai Panthers pretty close to a place in the playoffs. Looking at their performances in the recent games, the Panthers are likely to provide a major challenge to the Lyca side. They have the bowlers that can trouble the Kovai Kings' batting order. They have bowlers such as Gurjanpreet Singh, M Ashwin, and P Saravanan who have provided vital breakthroughs in all their last 3 outings. These are all consistent bowlers and make the Madurai Panthers a formidable force.

The wicket on offer at the India Cement Company venue is a flat one and it will assist both bowlers and batters. Spinners from both sides might not get help from the wicket. This will be a big challenge for the Madurai Panthers to make suitable plans for these conditions. The opposition is coming in hot after a couple of great performances with the bat. Madurai Panthers have made use of several spinners during their earlier games. They might even consider bringing in fast bowlers to support Gurjanpreet Singh in this game.

You can find some high-quality batsmen in this batting lineup such as Swapnil Singh and Jagatheesan Kousik. These middle-order batsmen can make vital contributions to their innings. The Madurai openers have not fired during their recent matches. This may be due to the tough batting conditions at this venue where Madurai played their last few matches. The captain Hari Nisanth and Suresh Lokeshwar will be looking to get the Madurai team off to a good start. They can also get help in the middle order from Washington Sundar who can hit the ball a long way.

Lyca Kovai Kings

The Lyca Kovai Kings team will be keen to finish the league stages with a victory. They have succeeded in winning the last four matches back-to-back and all their significant players are in terrific form. Although the good position the Lyca team finds itself in at the moment is primarily due to their batters, their bowlers have also bowled consistently. Kings while batting first scored 199 and 206 runs in their last couple of games. There is a range of alternatives available in the bowling department for the Lyca Kovai Kings.

This variety in their bowling attack provides Shahrukh Khan with several alternatives to choose from. He can also rotate the bowlers around in a match. The condition of the surface will regulate the performance of fast bowlers such as Thamarai Kannan as they will manage to extract pace and bounce from the wicket. The key batsmen in the Lyca batting order are Sai Sudarshan and S Sujay. These batters have performed a good consistent job at the top of the order. Other batters such as Ram Arvind and Atheeq Ur Rahman have done a decent job at the number 4 and number 5 positions.

Shahrukh Khan also plays the role of a finisher in the team's lower order. He can also use the long handle to clear the boundaries easily. The depth in the batting order and the consistency of their significant players make this to be a formidable and tough side to beat in TNPL. Lyca played their last game against Salem Spartans. They won this match easily by a margin of 79 runs. Batting first, Lyca Kovai Kings scored 199 runs for the loss of 8 wickets from their 20 overs. Salem was bowled out for 120 runs from 19 overs.
