Madurai Panthers are favorites to win
Madurai Panthers and Lyca Kovai Kings go head to head in the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League on Thursday evening. The Panthers beat Chepauk Super Gillies in their only game so far this tournament. Lyca Kovai Kings lost to Dindigul Dragons by 5 wickets on Sunday in Tirunelveli. This match begins at The NPR College Ground, Dindigul at 19:15 local time.
Madurai Panthers got the win but produced a rollercoaster of a game against Chepauk Super Gillies. They will need to be more consistent across the entire 40 overs if they are to win this match.
Lyca Kovai Kings could well have come out as winners against Dindigul Dragons but none of their batters were able to build on encouraging starts. They will be looking for some higher individual scores in this game.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports 1.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney Hotstar.
Although the humidity levels will increase as the game develops, it won’t be enough to make a huge difference to the playing conditions. That said, we still expect both captains to choose to field first in this match.
There will be wickets for the pace bowlers on this pitch but overall it will be better suited to the spin bowlers. We expect a par score between 185-200.
A little but not a huge amount of cloud cover with the temperature above 30 degrees throughout.

The Panthers selected a strong XI for Match 3 of the tournament against the 2021 TNPL Champions, Chepauk Super Gillies. It was by no means the perfect performance, but with five of the six bowlers used taking wickets and the run-chase succeeding with 11 balls remaining, we do not envisage any changes to the side.
The Panthers have won two of their last five games in the TNPL. Although there were a few wobbles in their last game, they emerged with a comfortable victory.

With four of the top five batters in the Lyca Kovai Kings’ batting order making scores between 30 and 49, you would have thought that they would have posted a defendable total. However, the bowling was not consistent enough to do so. There will be suggestions of changes to the bowling attack but we expect to see the same XI.
The Kovai Kings struggled towards the end of last season and their defeat in their opening game means they have won only one of their last five matches.
Ganga Sridhar Raju, Suresh Kumar (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Shijit Chandran, U Mukilesh, Shahrukh Khan, Mohan Abhinav, Ajith Ram, R Divakar, M Raja, Valliappan Yudheeswaran
Before the two sides met in the 2021 TNPL, both teams had beaten each other twice. Last year’s game saw Lyca Kovai Kings win by 19 runs after they had posted 172-5. There were half-centuries for Sai Sudharsan (61) and Shahrukh Khan (58 not-out) before Ajith Ram and R Divakar both took 3 wickets as they successfully defended their total.

This game sees last season’s sixth placed side take on the fourth placed team. Although it was Lyca Kovai Kings who finished higher in the table in the 2021 TNPL, they only had two more points in the final analysis. Madurai Panthers look like the stronger side, based on how last season ended and the performances in opening games of this year. We are backing the Panthers to win this fixture.
