Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) will battle Salem Spartans (SS) in the 13th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on Thursday (June 22). NRK suffered a defeat in their previous encounter against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT), whereas SS registered a victory over Ba11sy Trichy (BT) in their last game.

Although Sonu Yadav scored resilient 35 runs for NRK in their clash against ITT and claimed two wickets in the second innings, he failed to help his team win the match and unfortunately ended up on the losing side. On the other hand, Kaushik Gandhi shined for SS in their victory over BT and hammered a brilliant half-century. Gandhi scored quickfire 52 runs off 32 deliveries in the run chase. Among bowlers, Abhishek Tanwar bagged three scalps for his team in the first innings.

NRK currently sits at the fourth spot in the TNPL 2023 points table and would look to sail into the top three when they meet SS on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Spartans are on the fifth spot and will try to take over NRK.

Pitch report:

The NPR College Ground provides a flat playing surface, which is advantageous for batters as it reduces bounce and allows the ball to come onto the bat smoothly. Moreover, spinners can expect to find some assistance from the pitch as well.
