NRK vs SS Team Previews

Nellai Royal Kings

The Nellai Royal Kings started off with a smart win over Trichy in their opening fixture. However, they suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Chepauk in the very next match, which not only cost them 2 points but left a big dent in the NRR.

Barring Arun Karthik, the batting from Nellai has been pretty ordinary. Karthik scored a half-century in the previous match and will look to give the team a strong start along with Santhosh Kumar. The middle order has some quality batsmen including Rithik Easwaran, Adnan Khan, and Ajitesh Guruswamy.

However, none of them were able to make a winning contribution to the team in the last match. That said, the presence of all-rounders like NS Harish and Sonu Yadav adds depth to the batting. Sonu Yadav has been excellent with the ball, picking up 5 wickets. He will be joined in the pace department by V Yudheeswaran, who has 4 wickets against his name.

The team’s spin attack does look a bit weak at the moment with Harish and Sachin Rathi managing to pick only 1 wicket each.

Nellai Royal Kings Expected Playing 11

Arun Karthik (C), Ajitesh Guruswamy, Rithik Easwaran (WK), Adnan Khan, Nirmal Kumar, NS Harish, Sonu Yadav, Sachin Rathi, V Yudheeswaran, Emmanuel Cherian, Uday Kumar

Salem Spartans

The Salem Spartans are on a roll, winning all the 3 matches they have played so far. They are comfortably sitting at the top of the table and a win here will further strengthen its position.

S Abishiek and Hari Nishanth are likely to reprise their role at the top of the order. While Abishiek has struggled against the new ball, Nishanth scored a half-century earlier in the series and will look to do the same in this match as well.

A lot will depend on how Nidhish Rajagopal plays during the middle overs. He has scored 2 half-centuries in 3 matches, including one on Friday, and remains the key batsman for Salem. The middle order is pretty strong as well, thanks to the presence of batsmen like Boopathi Kumar, Harish Kumar, and R Vivek.

Coming to the bowling, M Mohammed has been brilliant with the new ball, picking up 8 wickets, and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. He will be joined by M Poiyamozhi and Harish Kumar in the pace department. Rahil Shah, who has 3 wickets against his name, will lead the spin attack.

Salem Spartans Expected Playing 11

S Abishiek (C), Hari Nishanth, R Kavin (WK), Nidhish Rajagopal, Boopathi Kumar, Sunny Sandhu, Harish Kumar, M Poiyamozhi, M Mohammed, R Vivek, Rahil Shah

NRK vs SS Toss Prediction

Half of the last 10 matches played here were won while chasing, while the other half were won while batting first. Also, in 5 of the last 10 games, the captain winning the toss opted to field first and we feel that it might be the way to go in this match as well.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch is likely to be moist as there has been plenty of rain over the last week. The seamers will get a good amount of pace and bounce as the ball skids on and there will be movement off the seam as well. The batsmen will need to see the new ball off before they can play the big shots. A score of around 170-180 is a par score on this surface. The weather will be overcast and there might be some rain as well.

NRK vs SS: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Salem Spartans to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance so far, doing well with the bat and the ball. They have a well-balanced team at their disposal and they are likely to have no difficulty defeating Nellai.
