IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans have won the toss and have opted to bat

On the other hand, the Tiruppur Tamizhans were off to a sloppy start, as they dropped 3 out of their 4 opening games. But, they peaked when it mattered and won three consecutive games to finish second on the table. Different personnel have stepped up for them at different stages of the tournament. These two sides met once in the league stage and it culminated into a last-ball thriller with Kovai Kings coming out on top. In the last 5 games between these two sides, the Kovai Kings have won 4 times. It’s a pressure game tonight though and the team which capitalises on the crunch moments will make it to the final. Expect a cracker! Stick around for the toss and team lineups...
