TNPL 2019: Match 28, VB Kanchi Veerans vs Ruby Trichy Warriors: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The VB Kanchi Veerans have got a wonderful opportunity to make it into the knockouts as they gear up for their last league game. They were displaced from the fourth position by the Lyca Kovai Kings who won their last league game quite comprehensively. However, it is the Veerans who have got an upper hand in terms of the Net Run Rate. All that they need to do is defeat the Ruby Trichy Warriors at all costs.

The Warriors have had a torrid time in the TNPL 2019. They lost five games in a row and it was especially disheartening because two of these matches even went into the super over. But, the side managed to get the better of the TUTI Patriots in their previous game. The question, however, still remains if they could be the party-spoilers for the VB Kanchi Veerans.
