Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons, TNPL T20 2021, Today Match Prediction 25 July 2021

lkk vs dgd Match Prediction & Analysis

On July 25, the Lyca Kovai Kings will take on the Dindigul Dragons in the TNPL 2021. In the four seasons that the Dragons have competed in, they have failed to win the coveted TNPL trophy. In fact, the Dragons have advanced to the playoffs three times in a row but luck has eluded them each time. The Chepauk Super Gillies defeated them by 12 runs in the final the previous season after the Dragons failed to chase down 127 in their 20-over quota.

Dindigul Dragons finished first in the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2019 group stage after winning six and losing one of their matches. In the final, however, they got defeated.

The TNPL was last held in 2019, with the event being postponed several times last year before finally being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Kovai Kings finished fifth that season, failing to qualify for the playoffs. This year, they are aiming for a better finishing position.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Lyca Kovai Kings Preview

Murugan Ashwin has the potential to make the most of the TNPL 2021 site. The leg-spinner had a disappointing first half of the Indian Premier League with the Punjab Kings, but he is a regular threat in the TNPL, where he has eight wickets. He might prove to be a threat for the Dragons batsmen, especially if Lyca bowls second. Shahrukh Khan, who was named captain of the Kovai Kings for the TNPL 2021 season, will carry a lot of weight this season. After a promising debut season with the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League, the big-hitting all-rounder will try to showcase his cricketing skills in this season’s TNPL.
