RTW vs LKK Team Previews
Ruby Trichy Warriors
The Lyca Kovai Kings have been clinical in their performance this season. With 3 wins in as many matches, the team is currently sitting at the top of the points table. Another win here will take them tantalizingly close to the playoffs.
The batting has been one of the highlights of Lyca’s performance this year. B Sachin is in red-hot form, scoring 2 half-centuries, and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. His knock of 76 runs was instrumental in helping the team win a top-of-the-table clash against Nellai on Saturday.
However, he has to retire hurt due to a niggle and hopefully should be fine in time for this match. Suresh Kumar and Shahrukh Khan have scored half-centuries as well, and will once again play a key role in this game. Shahrukh Khan is also the joint-highest wicket-taker for Lyca with 5 wickets.
He will feature in the spin department along with J Subramanyan and M Siddharth, while Gowtham Thamarai and M Mohammed will begin the attack with the new ball.

Lyca Kovai Kings
The Trichy Grand Cholas lost their season opener but have since bounced back. They are coming into this contest on the back of two consecutive wins, and are placed second on the points table. They also enjoy the best NRR among all teams in the league.
Sanjay Yadav has been in brilliant form with the bat and is the top run-scorer for the team. He has scored 2 half-centuries so far, including one in the last match. He has also picked up 3 wickets and is a handy spinner. Yadav has received excellent support from Waseem Ahmed, Jafar Jamal, and Shyam Sundar, all of whom are capable of playing big innings.
Coming to the bowling, K Easwaran is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 7 wickets. However, barring his 6-for, he hasn’t bowled well in the other two games. The other seamers, including Saravana Kumar, R Rajkumar, and Athisayaraj Davidson have bowled well too, picking up 14 wickets between them.
Overall, the Grand Cholas have a strong squad but need to be a bit more consistent.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Sanjay Yadav is the leading run-scorer for Trichy this season and is averaging 76.00. He has scored half-centuries in each of his last two innings and was the top batsman of the team in the previous game. Looking at his good form and the lucrative odds being offered, it is a good bet to wager on.
Lyca and Trichy have two of the strongest batting line-ups in the league. As the pitch in Coimbatore is good to bat on, and with plenty of in-form batsmen, we are quite likely to see at least one big inning in this match.
