Lyca Kovai Kings have won the toss and have opted to field
It's been a season where a lot has gone right for Kovai while a lot has gone wrong for Salem. Shahrukh and Co. have an opportunity to test their bench strength before the all important playoffs. Can Salem bow out with an impressive show? The weather has been hot in Tirunelveli and it will be tough for players out in the sun. There is no rain on the radar so we don't have to worry about a shortened contest.
Welcome to double header Saturday. All teams have one league game left and today's first game between Kovai and Salem is inconsequential as table-toppers Kovai have already qualified to the playoffs and last-placed Salem are out of the race. But there's still one spot left in the the top 4 and the night game today between Trichy and Tiruppur is a literal knockout game.
