Nellai Royal Kings are favorites to win
Lyca Kovai Kings take on Nellai Royal Kings in Match 26 of the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League on Saturday evening in Salem. The Kovai Kings have won three and lost three so far this year. The Royal Kings are top of the table with six wins from six. Read on as we preview this fixture. This match gets underway at the Salem Cricket Foundation Stadium at 19:15 local time.
The Kovai Kings have beaten IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, Ruby Trichy Warriors and Salem Spartans across their last four matches. They have picked up form at just the right time of the season.
Nellai Royal Kings have not had a dip in their performance levels from Match 1 in the tournament. They will be backing themselves to extend their 100% record in this game.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports 1.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney Hotstar.
Although the first game of the tournament in Salem saw IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans win after batting first, we expect both skippers will choose to field first if they win the toss.
We saw 17 wickets fall for only 205 runs on this surface on Wednesday. We expect the bowlers to have the upper hand again on this pitch in this match.
The start of this game could be delayed by a heavy shower but it shouldn’t take long to clear and the rest of the match will be played out in temperatures in the high 20s.

Ashwin Venkataraman and Selva Kumaran were left out of the Kovai Kings side following the five wicket defeat against Chepauk Super Gillies. Ganga Sridhar Raju and Krishanmoorthy Vignesh came in for the big win over IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans and we see no reason to change the side ahead of this match.
The Kovai Kings were struggling early on in the tournament but have jumped up to fourth in the table with three wins from their last four fixtures.
Ganga Sridhar Raju, Suresh Kumar (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Shijit Chandran, U Mukliesh, Shahrukh Khan (c), Abhishek Tanwar, Ajith Ram, Balu Surya, R Divakar, Krishnamoorthy Vignesh
Although the Royal Kings have won every game in the tournament so far, they have not been afraid of changing their team and keeping their line-up fresh. Ahead of the 66 run win over Ruby Trichy Warriors, M Rooban Raj was the player to miss out with Sri Neranjan coming in.
There is no other team in the 2022 TNPL who have won every game they have played. They are targeting their seventh successive victory for this season.
Laxmesha Suryaprakash, Baba Aparajith, Sanjay Yadav, Baba Indrajith (c) (wk), G Ajitesh, M Rooban Raj, Jitendra Kumar, M Shajahan, NS Harish, Athisayaraj Davidson, K Easwaran
The teams clashed in Match 27 in August last year, the penultimate game of the group stage of the 2021 TNPL, with Lyca Kovai Kings coming out on top in a close game by 7 runs. Shahrukh Khan was the star performer for the Kovai Kings with the captain scoring 64 not out from 29 balls. The win for the Kovai Kings means that they have a one match lead in the head to head.

This game should be an absolute cracker with Lyca Kovai Kings, in strong form, against the all conquering Nellai Royal Kings. If this game had been scheduled 10 days ago then the Royal Kings would have had no worries but recent victories for the Kovai Kings will have made the league leaders take notice. We are predicting a close, low scoring game with Nellai Royal Kings getting another victory.
