csg vs lkk Match Prediction & Analysis

The competition is getting stiffer in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2022 and we will see a tough contest between the Chepauk Super Gillies and the Lyca Kovai Kings in the 17th game. Both sides come into this game with a win, and this would make them confident. The Super Gillies defeated the Ruby Tricky Warriors while the Lyca Kovai Kings also defeated the same opponent in their last game.  

The Lyca Kovai Kings have struggled against the Super Gillies in the past and have won only once against them in five games. This would play on their minds as the side goes into the next game.  The Super Gilles come here with a confident batting line-up, and we are likely to see a battle of nerves that is expected to go down the wire. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Chepauk Super Gillies Preview

Kaushik Gandhi’s side got the monkey off its back with a strong performance in the last game. They batted extremely well to defeat the Ruby Trichy Warriors by 44 runs winning their first game of the season. Having tasted success, the side would look to drive its momentum forward and win this game against a tough opponent.  

N Jagadeesan and Kaushik Gandhi shall need to set up a good opening wicket stand in the game as they have looked in good touch.  S Radhakrishnan and Uthirasamy Sasidev shared a 117-run stand in the last game and the side would have big expectations from them. The lower middle order has looked rusty, and the side would expect to see a better show from the likes of Rajagopal Sathish, Harish Kumar, and Sonu Yadav.  

Their bowling attack did a good job in the last game and the new ball pair of Manimaran Siddharth and Sandeep Warrier shall look to strike early in this game. S Harish Kumar and R Alexander did well in the last game and the same would be expected from them here. Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore and Satish were slightly off the mark in the last game, and they would like to bowl better lines.

Lyca Kovai Kings Preview

It has been two wins in a row and Shahrukh Khan’s side has found its form. It was a comprehensive victory for the team against the Ruby Trichy Warriors as they won by 5 wickets. Their bowling has looked good in the last two games, and this would make the side confident. Khan would be aiming for the third consecutive win which would place them in a comfortable position on the points table.  

Openers Ganga Sridhar Raju and Suresh Kumar are scoring runs, and this would be a confidence booster for the team. In Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, and Shijit Chandran, the side has good players in the middle order and the side would like to see partnerships between them. Abhishek Tanwar, U Mukilesh, and Balu Surya can strike the ball and add to the side’s batting depth.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Coimbatore would be partly cloudy on July 12. The wicket is fresh, and we expect it to be a good batting surface and batsmen would be able to play their strokes without any fear. The side batting first would need 180 runs as the wicket doesn’t have much for the bowlers.

Venue Details

SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore is a small ground with shorter square boundaries which makes it a high-scoring venue. It is a tough wicket for the fast bowlers as the wicket doesn’t assist this kind of bowling. Spinners have done well in the past as there is turn available for them.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing the score has been the winning mantra in this edition of the tournament as few teams have won games batting first. We don’t expect this to change much in the coming games considering the nature of the tracks and hence the side winning the toss would have no hesitation in bowling first.
