LKK vs DD Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for TNPL 2022, Match 5
The fifth match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2022 will see the Dindigul Dragons (DD) take on the Dindigul Dragons (DD) at the Indian Cement Company Ground in Tirunelveli on Sunday, June 26.
The Dindigul Dragons didn't have the best of starts to their TNPL campaign, coming up short against the Ruby Trichy Warriors. However, they have a strong team to fall back on, with Hari Nishanth headlining the roster. Despite a slightly inexperienced bowling attack, the Dragons will fancy their chances of getting their first win. However, they come across a star-studded Lyca Kovai Kings side who are perhaps the favorites to win the title this season. With the likes of Shahrukh Khan and T Natarajan in action, the Kings will start as the clear favorites.

Pitch Report
The pitch has slowed down over the last few games, allowing the bowlers to have a bigger say in the outcome of the match. The new ball shouldn't do much early on, allowing batters to get their eye in and score some runs in the powerplay overs. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs with ample turn available off the surface. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at the venue.
