Ba11sy Trichy will lock horns with Lyca Kovai Kings in the 12th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 on Wednesday, June 21 at NPR College Ground, Dindigul.
It has been a disappointing season for Ba11sy Trichy so far as they have lost both the matches they played in the tournament. They lost their season opener against Dindigul Dragons by six wickets and lost their next game against Salem Spartans.
Sitting at the sixth position on the points table, Ba11sy Trichy must be looking to bounce back from their two consecutive losses and notch their first victory in the tournament.
On the other hand, Lyca Kovai Kings have had a promising start, clinching victory in two out of the three matches they have played so far. They kicked off their campaign with a thumping 70-run win against Idream Tiruppur Tamizhans, only to face disappointment in their very next match, losing to Nellai Royal Kings by four wickets.
However, they staged a stellar comeback in their third and most recent match against Chepauk Super Gillies, delivering an outstanding performance to secure a comprehensive eight-wicket victory. Currently occupying the second spot on the points table, they are eager to add more wins to their tally.

Pitch Report
The wicket at Dindigul has been a bowler friendly one. Batters have found it difficult to score runs here. Three matches have been played at this venue so far this season, and none of the teams have managed to surpass the 150-run mark on any of these occasions.
