Who Will Win TUTI Patriots vs VB Kanchi Veerans, TNPL 2019?
The 15th fixture of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2019 will see TUTI Patriots take on VB Kanchi Veerans. The match will be played on July 30 at the Indian Cement Company Ground in Tirunelveli. Live telecast is scheduled to begin at 7:15 PM local time.
TUTI Patriots lost their last match against Dindigul Dragons a couple of days ago by 40 runs at this very ground. The Dragons opted to bat first and set up a target of 174 for the Patriots who could only manage 133-9 in their 20 overs. VB Kanchi Veerans, on the other hand, are coming off a convincing seven-wicket victory against Madurai Panthers in their last match which too was played at this ground. The Panthers, after electing to bat first, scored 138-9 in their innings which proved to be insufficient in the end as the Veerans got past that total with an over to spare.

TUTI Patriots Team News & Playing 11
TP Team News
TUTI Patriots do not have any injury issues to deal with ahead of their clash against VB Kanchi Veerans. The team is likely to open its batting again with Akshay Srinivasan and Sivagnanan Senthilnathan. The latter has failed to make the most of the two opportunities presented to him but he will probably be backed for one more game. Pacers V Athisayaraj Davidson and Tamil Kumaran will be leading the team's bowling attack. The Patriots have fielded the same eleven in their last two matches and we expect them to go unchanged again.
TP Key Players
Akshay Srinivasan: The opener has scored the most runs for Tuti Patriots so far in this year's TNPL - 102 runs in three matches at a strike-rate of almost 157. He struck a half-century against Madurai Panthers followed by a decent knock of 31 against Lyca Kovai Kings.
Tamil Kumaran: With four wickets in three games, he is currently the team's leading wicket-taker in the tournament. The medium pacer has picked a couple of scalps in each of his previous two outings. He will be given the new ball and will be expected to do some damage in the powerplay.
V Subramania Siva: He has scored 73 runs in three games and is having a pretty good strike-rate of 155.31. The skipper, after having scored 44 against Lyca Kovai Kings, was dismissed for just one run last time against Dindigul Dragons and he will be looking to make up for that.
TP Recent Form
TUTI Patriots have won one and lost two out of the three matches they have played so far in the tournament and are currently placed sixth on the TNPL 2019 points table with two points. They began their campaign on a losing note with a crushing nine-wicket defeat against Madurai Panthers at Dindigul but bounced back to beat Lyca Kovai Kings by six runs in a rain-truncated contest. The Patriots, however, suffered a heavy 40-run loss at the hands of Dindigul Dragons in their last match at Tirunelveli.
TUTI Patriots Predicted Playing 11
Akshay Srinivasan, Sivagnanan Senthilnathan, V Subramania Siva (c), Nidish Rajagopal, S Abishiek, Murugesan Kamlesh (wk), Vasanth Saravanan, SP Nathan, M Ganesh Moorthi, Tamil Kumaran, V Athisayaraj Davidson
VB Kanchi Veerans Team News & Playing 11
VKV Team News
VB Kanchi Veerans made just the one change to their side in the last match against Madurai Panthers - they dropped opening batsman U Mukilesh, who got a duck in each of the team's first two matches, by S Siddharth. The latter too could not make much of an impact in his first outing but the Veerans seem to have no other option but to stick to him. Suresh Lokeshwar smashed a fifty after being promoted to number four last time out, and he will probably continue to bat at that position for now. The Veerans are coming on the back of a win and so they may not want to make any changes in their line-up for this match.
VKV Key Players
Suresh Lokeshwar: The wicketkeeper has batted twice so far in the tournament and has cracked half-centuries on both the occasions. He was promoted up the order in the last game against Madurai Panthers and hit an unbeaten 51 off 42 balls to guide his team to victory.
Rajagopal Sathish: The pacer has taken six wickets in three matches and is currently featuring on the list of top five bowlers of the TNPL 2019. He returned match-winning figures of 4-17 against Karaikudi Kaalai and took 2-22 last time against Madurai Panthers.
Sanjay Yadav: With 126 runs in two innings at an average of 63, he is currently the tournament's third-highest run-scorer. He belted 95 off just 60 deliveries against Karaikudi Kaalai and the team will be hoping that he produces a similar knock on Tuesday.
VKV Recent Form
VB Kanchi Veerans are third on the TNPL 2019 leaderboard with four points having won two and lost one out of their first three matches. After going down to Lyca Kovai Kings by eight wickets in their opening game at Dindigul, the Veerans pulled off back-to-back to wins - against Karaikudi Kaalai by a massive margin of 110 runs at the same venue and against Madurai Panthers by seven wickets at Tirunelveli. Their bowling has been very impressive in the last two games - they bowled out Karaikudi Kaalai for just 67 runs and restricted Madurai Panthers to a below-par 138 last time.
VB Kanchi Veerans Predicted Playing 11
K Vishal Vaidhya, S Siddharth, Baba Aparajith (c), Suresh Lokeshwar (wk), Rajagopal Sathish, Sanjay Yadav, P Francis Rokins, NS Harish, R Silambarasan, Rangaraj Suthesh, K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan

TUTI Patriots vs VB Kanchi Veerans Betting Odds
Tuti Patriots begin as favorites to win this match at 1.80 with Bet365 and Betrally. VB Kanchi Veerans are the bookmakers' underdogs for this match and they are being offered at a higher price of 2 on Bet365 and Betrally.
🏆 TUTI Patriots vs VB Kanchi Veerans Prediction
Tuti Patriots have a 100% win record against VB Kanchi Veerans and that will give them a big psychological advantage going into this match. However, they have not looked too consistent in their performances so far this year and they will be playing under a bit more pressure after their heavy defeat against Dindigul Dragons.
Kanchi Veerans, on the flipside, are flying high on confidence and have gained plenty of momentum after winning their last two matches. They also have more in-form batsmen in their side as compared to the Patriots whose four out of the top five batsmen were dismissed for single-digit scores last time.
VB Kanchi Veerans seem to have the upper hand here and we expect them to register their first ever win against the Patriots.
