Pitch Report
With this being the second game of the day, the pitch could be a touch slower than usual. The batters will look to go on the attack in the powerplay phase with the new ball likely to come onto the bat nicely. The pitch should slow down as the match progresses, with the spinners bound to play a big role in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams expected to chase upon winning the toss.
Today’s SMP vs LKK Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeepers
Arun Karthik: Arun Karthik is a household name in the TNPL, having starred in the competition in multiple seasons. He started the season in decent fashion, scoring a 22-ball 31 against the Chepauk Super Gillies. Given his experience and ability to score big runs at the top of the order, Karthik could be backed to score some runs today.
Batters
Sai Sudharsan: Sai Sudharsan has been a revelation since his TNPL breakout season in 2021. The southpaw has gone on to play for Tamil Nadu and the Gujarat Titans, even scoring a fifty for them. He is a technically sound batter who has a good record against spin. With the southpaw due for a big knock, he is a must-have in your SMP vs LKK Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounders
Shahrukh Khan: Shahrukh Khan is perhaps the biggest attraction in the TNPL this season with his recent exploits holding him in good stead. While his ability to score quick runs and finish games in crunch situations serves him well, Shahrukh is also capable of holding his own with the ball. With his all-round skills bound to come in handy, he is a good addition to your SMP vs LKK Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Varun Chakravarthy: Another star attraction in the TNPL, Varun Chakravarthy is one of the country's premier spinners. The tall and lanky spinner has a heap of variations to fall back on and has the experience of playing for India and in the IPL. With the conditions suiting him as well, Varun can be backed to pick up a few wickets in this game.
