TNPL 2019: Match 23, Dindigul Dragons vs VB Kanchi Veerans: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

In their penultimate league game of the TNPL 2019, the Dindigul Dragons will play the VB Kanchi Veerans. Ravichandran Ashwin and his men have had a terrific tournament thus far. The Dragons are yet to be beaten and have won five games in a row. While they wouldn’t mind making this a double hattrick, a victory is really essential for the VB Kanchi Veerans.

With three wins in five games, this team is just about hanging around in the top-four. Looking at the NRR, there might not seem to be a real threat to their knockout place. However, the team will need to register at least one win in the next two games to be in a safe position. If they manage to win their next two matches, they might even have an outside chance of making it into the top-two.
