TNPL 2019: Kovai Kings vs Tuti Patriots: Preview, where to watch, timing, head to head, probable XI

Dindigul, July 25: Tuti Patriots will be aiming for an all-round improvement when they take on Kovai Kings in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match at the NPR College Ground, Natham, Dindigul on Thursday (July 25).

The Patriots' opening match against defending champions Madurai Panthers was a forgettable affair as they could only muster 124-8 in 20 overs before eventually losing by nine wickets. The bowling also faltered as they conceded 19 wides.
