TNPL 2019, IDKK v VBKV: Bowling concerns for VB Kanchi Veerans as they take on Karaikudi Kaalai

VB Kanchi Veerans will be hoping to get their act together against iDream Karaikudi Kaalai in their second Sankar Cement Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match at the NPR College ground, Natham, Dindigul on Wednesday.

VBKV bowlers were guilty of giving away too many freebies (16 wides) leading to an eight-wicket defeat in their opening match against Lyca Kovai Kings. A better bowling display should serve them well considering the fact that their batsmen scored 150 despite losing early wickets.

Bowling concerns surround iDream Karaikudi Kaalai as well. Despite scoring 171 for 5 against Ruby Trichy Warriors the game ended in a tie. RTW star Murali Vijay stole the show and iDKK were luck to scrape through in the Super Over. Having gained two points from the game, they also will be keen see their bowlers come good.
