Lyca Kovai Kings failed to defend 181 in their last game.
On the other hand, CSG restricted their opponent to 120 with the ball in the last game.
Baba Aparajith scored 93 runs at a strike rate of 163.16 in two innings at Dindigul last year, including a half century.
Off spinners enjoyed a lot of success in Dindigul last year as they were the bowling type with best average.
Shahrukh Khan and Baba Aparajith are two big off spin options in this match.
Shahrukh Khan took 4 wickets in Dindigul last year at a strike rate of 7.25.
Sanjay Yadav made two half centuries in both the innings at Dindigul last year and was striking over 204 with the bat.
Pick more bowlers who are expected to bowl in the death overs.
Pick only top four batters from the team batting second.
The surface at the NPR College ground in Dindigul is a balanced one. There will be uneven bounce for the pacers and some movement under the lights as well. Spinners will take control in the middle overs. However, still a good wicket to bat on if batters spend some time in the middle. The first innings total is expected to be around 175. Team winning the toss should bowl first.
The weather is expected to remain cloudy throughout the day in Dindigul. However, there is no chance of rain during the match time.
There are no major updates reported from both sides.
Lyca Kovai Kings Playing XI: J Suresh Kumar (wk), B Sachin, Sai Sudharsan, Ram Aravindh, U Mukilesh, Shahrukh Khan (c), M Mohammed, Kiran Akash, Manimaran Siddharth, J Subramanyan, Thamarai Kannan
Possible Impact Player: P Vidyuth, Atheeq Ur Rahman
Chepauk Super Gillies Playing XI: Pradosh Ranjan Paul, Narayan Jagadeesan (c&wk), Baba Aparajith, Sanjay Yadav, Harish Kumar, Rajagopal Sathish, U Sasidev, Rahil Shah, R Rohit, M Silambarasan, Viju Arul
Possible Impact Player: Rocky Bhasker
Shahrukh Khan: Shahrukh Khan will be a brilliant captaincy pick ahead of this match. The skipper of Lyca Kovai Kings made a brilliant half century in the last league game between these two sides last year. In addition, his off spin will play a big role on this Dindigul surface.
Sai Sudharsan: Sai Sudharsan undoubtedly will start this game as one of the top fantasy picks. The left handed batter had a terrific start to the 2023 season with 176 runs in two innings, including a 90 in the last game. He also made a half century in his last meeting against Chepauk Super Gillies in the final last year.
Baba Aparajith: Baba Aparajith is coming into this match after a brilliant all-round performance in the last game. He was CSG’s highest run-scorer and also took a wicket with the ball. He will be another brilliant captaincy choice ahead of this match.
Suresh Kumar: Suresh Kumar was one of the best performers with the bat last season. He has not been at his best as of now this year but too good a player to be quiet for long. He will be a brilliant differential pick ahead of this game.
Rocky Bhasker: Rocky Bhasker will be another brilliant differential pick. His ability to deceive the batters with his mystery spin makes him different from the crowd. In addition, finger spinners generally do well on this surface.
Manimaran Siddharth: Siddharth is too good a player to overlook. However, considering his recent form with the ball he will be a risky choice ahead of this game. He went wicketless in both the games so far and therefore, it is advisable to avoid picking him in your XI.
If LKK bat first
Complete team with three of Jagadeesan, Shah, Arul, Suresh
