TNPL 2019: Match 25, Dindigul Dragons vs Lyca Kovai Kings: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The Dindigul Dragons have been a massive force to reckon with in this edition of the TNPL. The side has already made it into the knockouts and hasn’t lost a game thus far. Their last match against the VB Kanchi Veerans was a cakewalk for them and they got over the line quite comfortably thus completing a double hat-trick of wins. In their last league game, the Dragons will play the Lyca Kovai Kings.

This is a do-or-die encounter for the team from Coimbatore. They have notched up their third win of the tournament in the last game and need one more victory to stand a chance to enter into the next stage. Even though they’ll get to 8 points if they win this match, the team has also got to keep the NRR factor in mind which will not be easy. Moreover, they will be dependent on a few other results as well.
