Chepauk Super Gillies have three wins in their last five matches. They won their previous match against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans by 8 wickets. Abhishek Tanwar and Vijay Shankar took two wickets each for Super Gillies, while Baba Aparajith played a match-winning innings of 77 runs off 48 balls. RS Mokit Hariharan and Vijay Shankar also contributed well with the bat to secure the win.
Nellai Royal Kings have two wins and one no-result in their last five matches. They are coming off a win in their first match of the season. They defeated Trichy Grand Cholas by 5 wickets. Their top all-rounder, Sonu Yadav, took three wickets to restrict Trichy Grand Cholas to just 157 runs. When the chase began, Arun Karthik and D Santhosh Kumar provided a solid start, but a middle-order collapse followed. However, NS Harish stepped up and scored 35 off 22 balls to secure the win for Nellai Royal Kings.
The surface of SNR Cricket Ground is flat, where batting becomes easy, especially in the second innings. Fast bowlers have taken 59 percent of the wickets in the last 10 matches here, so their role is also important. Spinners get some turn in the middle overs, but they will have to bowl smartly. If the match gets cut a bit due to rain, then chasing can become even easier. If the score reaches 180–200, then the match can be won if the bowlers maintain a tight line and length.
Chepauk Super Gillies is a great team and one of the strongest in TNPL, but they have somehow found themselves in a position where Nellai Royal Kings dominate them. Out of the five matches played between these two teams, Nellai Royal Kings have won three, while one match was abandoned. Chepauk Super Gillies have managed to win just one match in this rivalry. In the last match between these two teams, Nellai Royal Kings won by 3 wickets. RS Mokit Hariharan once again scored well, while former player R Silambarasan took three wickets.
