Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons Betting Tips

I will be really surprised if B Sachin doesn’t go on to score another half-century in the match, for he is one of the most consistent batters in the Lyca line-up beyond Sudharsan. Further, Varun Chakaravarthy is always a reliable performer with the ball and understands how to deceive the batters at their prey.

Lyca Kovai Kings Team Form

With six wins from seven games, Lyca Kovai Kings ended the group stage as the table-toppers and will be interested in carrying on that momentum forward into Salem so as to secure their berth in the final. They have been the most impressive and most consistent team in the TNPL 2023.

Baba Indrajith (wk), S Arun, Shivam Singh, P Saravana Kumar, Boopathi Kumar, Vimal Khumar, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), M Mathivannan, Varun Chakaravarthy, C Sarath Kumar, Suboth Bhati, G Kishoor, Adithya Ganesh, ME Tamil Dhileepan, Hemanth Kumar, Affan Khader, Rohan Bhutra, P Vignesh, VP Diran, Advaith Sharma

Predicted Playing XI

Dindigul Dragons Team Form

Dindigul Dragons’ run in TNPL 2023 was as good as it was with Lyca Kovai Kings. The Ravichandran Ashwin-led side secured six wins from seven games, and even though Ashwin has handed over the captaincy reins to Baba Indrajith to leave for national duty, the Dragons can rise to the occasion in their own sweet way.

Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons Head-To-Head

In their seven matches played so far, Lyca Kovai Kings have emerged victorious in four games, while Dindigul Dragons have won three games. This balanced head-to-head record between the two teams indicates a closely contested competition between them.

Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons Betting Odds

LKK to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

Even in the absence of B Sai Sudharsan, Lyca retains a strong ability to score quickly during the powerplay. Notably, they have maintained an impressive average of 56.76 in the powerplay during the group stage of TNPL 2023. This translates to a run rate of over 9 runs per over, injecting an exciting element into the overall narrative.

Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons Best Batters

Jayaraman Suresh Kumar to be LKK’s best batter (Parimatch)

Jayaraman Suresh Kumar has been very impressive this TNPL, having scored 197 runs in seven matches at a strike rate over 153.9. Even though he has only one half century, his balls per dismissal rate of 18.3 adds a different sense of purpose to the narrative. He has a balls per boundary rate of 4.2 whic is even more impressive.

Adithya Ganesh to be DD’s best batter (Parimatch)

Adithya Ganesh has established himself as a formidable batsman for the Dindigul Dragons this season, accumulating an impressive total of 173 runs at an average of 59. With a striking strike rate of over 140, he displays his resilient batting skills. Ganesh's outstanding performance has positioned him as the team's second-highest run-scorer in the ongoing season.

Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons Best Bowlers

Shahrukh Khan to be LKK’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Shahrukh Khan's multi-faceted skills make him a valuable asset. With 11 wickets, he ranks second in the tournament, right after P. Bhuvaneswaran. Khan's bowling average of eight and consistent breakthroughs showcase his effectiveness. His exceptional performance and versatility ensure no concerns in relying on him to make an impact.

Chakaravarthy to be DD’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Varun Chakravarthy has emerged as a standout performer for the Dindigul Dragons in 2023, partnering effectively with captain Ravichandran Ashwin. With 11 wickets in seven matches and an impressive average of 8.4, Chakravarthy displays his bowling prowess. His outstanding TNPL record, averaging 18.39 with an economy rate of 5.6, establishes him as a crucial asset for the team's success.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Lyca Kovai Kings

Even though B Sai Sudarshan is not a part of the Lyca batting attack this time around, there is a defined sense of purpose in the Lyca batting order, bolstered by the fact that B Sachin and Suresh Kumar are very good at taking on the Dindigul bowling attack well, which is considerably weak now after Ravichandran Ashwin’s departure. Hence, my bets are on Lyca Kovai Kings to dominate.

LKK to win @ 1.53 (Parimatch)

DD to win @ 2.40 (Parimatch)
