MPS vs LKK Team Previews
Madurai Panthers
Barring the win against the Salem Spartans in the opening match, the Madurai Panthers have struggled throughout this season. With just 1 point to show in the last 3 matches, the team is currently 7th on the points table. If they lose here, Madurai will face a high probability of getting knocked out.
It has been a poor performance from all departments of the team. While Jagatheesan Kousik and S Lokeshwar have scored a half-century each, they have lacked consistency and that has put the already struggling middle order under a lot of pressure.
That said, there are quite a few experienced batsmen playing in the team including Hari Nishanth, U Sasidev, and NS Chaturved. But none of them have been able to make much of a difference to the team’s fortunes.
The poor form continues with the bowlers as well. Murugan Ashwin is the leading wicket-taker with 7 wickets but has received very little support at the other end.
Gurjapneet Singh, who was in brilliant form with the new ball last season, has struggled this year and so has Kiran Akash.
Madurai Panthers Playing 11
Hari Nishanth, S Lokeshwar, Jagatheesan Kousik, NS Chaturved, Uthirasamy Sasidev, Karthick Manikandan, Murugan Ashwin, Gurjapneet Singh, Ajay K Krishna, Ramadoss Alexandar, R Mithun.
Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings faced their first defeat of the season on Sunday at the hands of the Dindigul Dragons.
Nevertheless, they are still at the top of the points table and a win here will take them to the playoffs.<br /> The injury to B Sachin has left a dent in Lyca’s batting and they will hope that their top-scorer for the season becomes available soon.
In the meanwhile, all hopes will be pinned on U Mukilesh and Shahrukh Khan. The latter is in brilliant form with the bat as well as the ball. Shahrukh Khan has scored 121 runs at a strike rate of 168.05 and has also picked up 10 wickets.
While there are plenty of quality batsmen in the team like Sai Sudharsan, S Sujay, and Suresh Kumar, the team will need at least one of them to play a big knock.
Coming to the bowling, Shahrukh Khan has been supported by J Subramanyan and M Siddharth in the spin department, while Gowtham Thamarai, M Mohammed, and V Yudheeshwaran will feature in the pace attack.

Pitch and Conditions
Tirunelveli has offered good batting tracks throughout the season and we expect no different for this match as well. The average first-inning score here is around 170. The surface is firm and flat and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. That said, there are a few patches of grass and some cracks that can help the bowlers.
The weather is likely to be cloudy with temperatures of around 31 degrees.
