VB Kanchi Veerans vs Ruby Trichy Warriors, Tamil Nadu Premier League 2019, Today Match Prediction 09 Aug 2019

vkv vs rtw Match Prediction & Analysis

VB Kanchi Veerans team needs to win this game to qualify for the playoff stage of the tournament. They lost their last two games and made the qualification scenario difficult for themselves. Vishal Vaidhya and Rajagopal Sathish were the only players to make a substantial score in their last two matches. Skipper Baba Aparjith, Suresh Lokeshwar, and Sanjay Yadav have played crucial knocks and helped their team to win this season earlier.

Their batting unit needs to re-group after two disappointing below par performances in the last two matches. Their bowling unit took just 6 wickets in the last two matches and is not able to create any pressure on the opposition. Thamarai Kannan is their leading wicket-taker but is taken for runs at 10 RPO this season. R Sathish, R Silambarsan, and R Suthesh have taken crucial wickets and have bowled with a good economy rate of below 7 RPO. 

Ruby Trichy Warriors have finally won a game this season by defeating TUTI patriots in their last match. Murali Vijay was the top performer with the bat scoring his first century this season. Aditya Ganesh played a good hand with a well compiled half-century. Both Vijay and Ganesh stitched together a massive 140-run partnership which took the team total to 177 runs.

Their bowlers then came to the party with all the five bowlers claiming at least a wicket each. Skipper Sai Kishore bowled a very tight spell of 4-0-26-1 and never allowed any momentum in the middle overs. M Poiyamozhi and M Saravan Kumar held their nerves in the final overs to seal the match in their favour.
