The competition is getting quite intense as we head into the final few games of the league stages of TNPL 2019. While most of the teams are fighting out for one of the top-four spots, the Ruby Trichy Warriors are already knocked out. The side has had a disastrous season this year and it has been an absolute nightmare for them. On a few occasions, it was the batting that let them down. The remaining times, the bowling performance didn’t help.

The result – the team has lost all the five games that it has played. In their sixth game, they will be facing the TUTI Patriots. If a few results go their way and if they manage to win the remaining two games, the Patriots might have a chance of making it into the knockouts. However, that doesn’t seem likely at the moment. Nevertheless, the team wouldn’t mind a win at this stage of the tournament.
