Teams Preview

Dindigul Dragons

Dindigul Dragons have a star player, R Ashwin, who is also leading the side. He got an enormous success at the international level. Also, he led the KXIP side in IPL and was also very successful in the league. His promotion in the batting helped Dindigul dragon for their first win in the season. He scored quick firepower inning of 37 runs. He would be looking to contribute in both batting and bowling in this season.

Wicket-keeper batsman Narayan Jagadeesan was in outstanding form in season three. With 396 runs at a healthy average of 66 and steady strike-rate of 130.69, the right-hander ended up as the second-highest run-scorer in the previous season. Though he just scored 17 runs in the first game, he is the biggest threat for the opponent. He would be looking to score big and get back in form. He is the key player in Dindigul batting line-up and his good form is very imperative for team success.

The middle-order batsmen, R Vivek, smashed three fifty-plus scores in the previous season with an astonishing strike-rate of 209.60. He can take the game away from the opponent with his power-hitting ability. On the bowling front, M Mohammed and Jagannathan Kaushik were impressive in the first game, both picked two wickets. Spinner R Ashwin and M Silambarasan are the quality spinner in the side.

Madurai Panthers

Skipper A Karthik led team will be looking to put another clinical performance to get the second victory of the season. The team is relying heavily on their skipper Arun Karthik in the batting department. He was instrumental in helping his side win the 2018 tournament. In the previous season, he scored 472 runs in 10 games at a staggering average of about 79. He would be looking to carry on his form and lead the team from the front.  Another opener, A Sarath Raj also played an impact inning of 33 runs in the previous game. He along with partner Arun Karthik would be eying to provide solid platform upfront.

On the bowling front, Kiran Akash and R Mithun were remarkable to restrict the opponent to just score of 124. Both picked 3 wickets in the game. Abhishek Tanwar and R Sahil also supported very well, both bowled economical spell.  Abhishek Tanwar was a leading wicket-taker of the tournament in the previous season. He took 15 wickets by an average of 22.06 in TNPL 2018. Once again the onus will be on him to deliver with the ball.

Toss Prediction

The records are equally in favour of both batting and bowling first side. However as this is the first match of the fourth season at this venue, it would be wise to chase the score after winning the toss.  We anticipate the team winning toss will certainly look to bowl first.

Winning Prediction

We expect to be a thrilling game as defending champion will take on the runner-up team in the last season. Madurai Panthers Skipper Arun Karthik’s superb form from the last season continues in this season as well.  On the other hand, though Dindigul Dragon got the star player R Ashwin in their side, the other batsmen failed to make an impact in the first game. So, Madurai Panthers will have an edge considering their performances in the last season and the previous game. We predict Madurai Panthers will win this match.
