SHA vs TIG Dream11 prediction
The upcoming clash between these teams certainly comes across as a battle of equals since there is very little from a team combination point of view to separate the two sides. However, TIG are likely to have an edge over SHA on account of a better position in the standings as well as the memories of their win over Sharks during the last encounter between the teams.
SHA vs TIG Dream11 team tips for Pondicherry T20
Top tip: Best batsman
TIG opener Arjun Shetty is the batsman to watch out for in this contest. He scored a fantastic 58-ball 64 while opening the innings and set up a five-wicket win for his team when these two sides last met. Fantasy owners will definitely want to have him in their ranks.
Top tip: Best bowler
Siva Kumar S was the trump card with the ball for TIG in their previous match against SHA. He finished with figures of 4/17 to break the back of the opposition and will be the bowler to watch out for in the return encounter.
