VB Kanchi Veerans Team News & Playing 11
VB Kanchi Veerans have a good-looking batting line-up with Baba Aparajith, Sanjay Yadav and Rajagopal Sathish being the key figures. Aparajith has scored the most runs for his side - 179 runs - and the skipper will be expected to lead from the front on Friday night. K Vishal Vaidhya, who cracked a fifty in the last match against Dindigul Dragons, is another batsman to watch out for. K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan has been the most impressive bowler for the Veerans with eight wickets in five matches and the onus will be on this fast bowler to take wickets against the Ruby Trichy Warriors. Rajagopal Sathish and R Divakar are two other bowlers in this line-up whom the opposition will be wary of.

Ruby Trichy Warriors Team News & Playing 11
Murali Vijay, K Mukunth and Adithya Ganesh are the big guns for Ruby Trichy Warriors when it comes to batting. Murali Vijay has shown excellent form this season having scored 359 runs at a stunning average of 119.66. The opener is coming off a brilliant 57-ball 101 against TUTI Patriots and the team will want him to play another match-winning knock before bowing out of the tournament. The Warriors will expect strong contributions from their key bowlers - Saravan Kumar, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore. With nine wickets in six matches, Saravan Kumar has been the pick of the lot. He will be opening the bowling attack with Lakshminarayanan Vignesh, who has seven wickets in the tournament, and the pace duo will be backed by the team to provide the early breakthroughs.

🏆 VB Kanchi Veerans vs Ruby Trichy Warriors Prediction
While VB Kanchi Veerans lost their previous match against Dindigul Dragons, Ruby Trichy Warriors are coming on the back of a convincing 17-run win against TUTI Patriots. The former may have lost all their momentum with back-to-back losses but they would still be going into this game as the more confident of the two sides as they have more in-form players in their line-up.
The Warriors have relied too much on Murali Vijay to score runs for them this year and they are bound to struggle if they lose him early in their innings. The Veerans, on the other hand, are a better balanced unit and are not dependent on just one particular individual, be it with the bat or with the ball. They need a win here to keep their playoffs hopes alive and we expect them to do just that on Friday.
