Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) will face Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) in the 14th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem on Saturday (June 24). NRK emerged victorious in their previous encounter against Salem Spartans (SS) by five wickets in a rain-affected game, whereas CSG suffered a narrow one-run defeat at the hands of Dindigul Dragons (DD) in the last clash.
Ajitesh Guruswamy was the standout performer for NRK in their win over SS. Guruswamy scored crucial 39 runs for his side in the rain-reduced 16-over game. Among bowlers, Lakshay Jain S bagged two scalps for NRK in the first innings. On the other hand, despite Baba Aparajith’s quickfire 74 runs off 40 deliveries, CSG fell one run short of the target set by DD. Rahil Shah’s three wickets for 38 runs in the first innings also went in vain as CSG lost the contest.
NRK currently sits at the third spot of the TNPL 2023 points table and will look to move to the top position by registering a win against the Chepauk-based team. Meanwhile, CSG are in the fourth spot and will aim to return to winning ways.
Pitch report:
The track at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem offers a bowling-friendly track. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first, considering the past record of the ground. Although pacers are more likely to receive help from the surface, spinners will also come into play as the game progresses.
