SMS vs LKK Team Previews
Salem Spartans
The Salem Spartans will be devastated by the way their team has performed as for the 6th consecutive time, they have failed to make it to the playoffs. This year, the team has managed to win only 1 of the 6 matches played and is at the bottom of the points table.
While there have been some good individual performances for Salem, they have failed to do well as a unit and that has cost them matches. R Kavin is the leading run-scorer for the team with 160 and an average of 32.00. However, he is likely to be rested for this match and will be replaced by Adnan Khan.
The other batsmen like Vishal Vaidhya, Harish Kumar, and R Vivek have got some good starts but haven’t been able to convert them into big knocks. Sunny Sandhu, who is the best all-rounder in the squad, has often failed to give the boost they need during the death overs.
Coming to the bowling, M Poiyamozhi has been the stand-out performer, picking up 12 wickets, and is the leading wicket-taker of the season. With skipper Shijit Chandran insisting on giving the youngsters some game time, we are likely to see the omission of some regulars like Yazh Arun Mozhi and R Aushik.

Lyca Kovai Kings
The Lyca Kovai Kings are the best-performing team this season. They have won 5 of their 6 matches and are the first to qualify for the playoffs. If they win here, Lyca will certainly finish in the top two on the table.
Shahrukh Khan has led his team from the front and is the leading run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for the team. S Sujay and Suresh Kumar are likely to open the batting for Lyca in this match and have done a decent job so far.
However, the team’s biggest strength lies in its middle-order batting. Shahrukh Khan has received good support from U Mukilesh, Ram Arvindh, and Sai Sudharsan. Gowtham Thamarai bowled an excellent spell in the last match, picking up 4 wickets.
He, along with M Mohammed and V Yudheeshwaran makes up for a strong pace attack while Shahrukh Khan will be supported by J Subramanyan and M Siddharth in the spin department.
