Lyca Kovai Kings vs VB Kanchi Veerans, Tamil Nadu Premier League 2019, Today Match Prediction 21 Jul 2019

lkk vs vkv Match Prediction & Analysis

Lyca Kovai Kings start their campaign with their match against VB Kanchi Veerans at NPR College Ground, Dindigul. Kovai Kings are led by experienced TN Player Abhinav Mukund. Abhinav Mukund and Shahrukh Khan will open the batting and are one of the best opening pair in the TNPL circuit. They both had a combined tally of almost 600 runs in the last TNPL season. Ravi Rohit, Anthony Dhas, and Ashwin Venkatramanan will form the middle order batting line-up and they need to score runs more consistently.

Kovai Kings have a very strong bowling line-up and in the last season, 3 bowlers featured in the top five wicket-takers list. T Natarjan and K Vignesh form a formidable left-right pace bowling combo and their ability to bowl cutters will trouble batsmen in the end overs.  Ajith Ram, S Manigandan, and Rajesh will control the middle overs with the spin bowling combination. Four bowlers from LYCA Kovai Kings took more than 10 wickets last season. 

VB Kanchi Veerans had a disastrous season last year with just a lone win out of their seven league matches. Baba Aparjith leads the side and his form will be vital to overturn his team`s fortunes this season. Their batting unit struggled to score freely last season and no batsmen crossed the total tally of 150 runs last season. Mokit Hariharan, Francois Rokins, Vishal Vaidhya, and Baba Aparjith all ended up having an average season and they just put up two 50+ scores in the entire season.

Aushik Srinivas was the lone bright spot in the bowling department last season and he took 9 wickets at an economy rate of 6.8 RPO. Diwakar fared better with the ball bowling in good areas and got some crucial wickets last season. Suni Sam, Debaesh Lingesh, and Sanjay Yadav were leaking runs at a high economy rate and did not get enough wickets to trouble the opposition batting.
