Madurai Panthers had finished in third place in the points table with five wins in seven matches.
On the other hand, Lyca Kovai Kings won four matches and finished in fourth place in the standings. It will be an eliminator contest and both teams will want to be at their best as there will be no second chances.
Meanwhile, Madurai Panthers had won their previous match against Ruby Trichy Warriors by 36 runs. MP had posted 136 runs on the board but they came up with a fine bowling performance to skittle out the opposition at 100 runs.
