Sai Sudharsan's brilliant performance at the top has given Lyca Kovai Kings a lot; his absence from the finals is a major setback for them. Before stepping into the finals, their comprehensive performance ensured a convincing victory; they had three straight wins by putting up an adequate total on the board to successfully defend it by a significant margin. Additionally, in their most recent games, their bowlers took 10, 10, and 9 wickets while defending the target. In the last three games, their average powerplay scores with the bat have been above 50, which is reflective of their rapid starts. To win the competition, they plan to replicate this in the finals. 

The number of wickets lost by the Nellai Royal Kings in the final stages of league games had been greatly reduced, and they continued this trend in their qualifier and elimination games. With just three wickets lost on average each game, they successfully chased down three totals above 160. The tournament's best find has been Guruswamy Ajitesh, who has been their top batter. Their bowling is the major area of concern, as they gave up plenty of runs in their last two games. They will put up a respectable fight in the finals to register their elevation.
