NRK vs SMS Team Previews
Nellai Royal Kings
The Nellai Royal Kings won their opening fixture against the Chepauk Super Gillies on Sunday. They will now hope to keep the winning momentum going.
The Royal Kings boast of a strong batting line-up with plenty of depth. RS Mokit Hariharan and Nishidh Rajagopal were in excellent form as they scored individual half-centuries. They were well-supported by Ajitesh Guruswamy and together they guided the team to an easy win. In addition, the Royal Kings are also home to the likes of Arun Karthik, Rithik Easwaran, Sonu Yadav, and Arun Kumar.
All of them are more than capable of playing a big knock. The plethora of all-rounders in the squad means the Nellai has plenty of bowling options up its sleeve as well. R Silambarasan picked up 3 wickets in the last match and will be joined by Emmanuel Cherian with the new ball.
Lakshay Jain and Mohan Prasath are the two specialist spinners on the team.

Salem Spartans
After losing their opening fixture, the Salem Spartans came back strongly in their next match as they scored a thumping win over the Dindigul Dragons. As a result, they have moved to the top half of the points table.
R Kavin was once again in excellent form at the top of the order, scoring 46 runs. He is now the leading run-getter of the tournament. Rajendran Vivek too scored a half-century and appeared to be in fine touch. However, the middle order has been a bit inconsistent for Salem.
Vishal Vaidhya and S Abisheik have gotten off to good starts but the team will need them to play a big knock if they want to defeat a stiff opponent like Nellai. Salem Spartans do have Sunny Sandhu and Harish Kumar playing lower down the order, both of whom are capable of playing some lusty blows.
The duo picked up 2 wickets each in the last match and will join M Poiyamozhi and Aushik Srinivas in the bowling line-up.

Abishiek Selvakumar, R Kavin, Muhammed Adnan Khan, Robin Bist, K Vishal Vaidhya, Shijit Chandran, Sunny Sandhu, Rajendran Vivek, S Harish Kumar, M Poiyamozhi, ME Yazh Arun Mozhi.

The pitch at the SCF has been balanced throughout the season. The surface is firm and flat, offering a good amount of pace and bounce. The batsmen can play their shots once they settle down and play a big knock. That said, there are plenty of rough areas which the bowlers can aim for, and cause trouble for the batsmen. A score of around 170 is a par score.
The weather is likely to be warm and humid with a temperature of around 30 degrees.
