- With 246 runs across the 2022 TNPL, Arun Karthik has been one of the most impressive batters on show. He is our tip for the Panthers’ highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Kiran Akash is averaging a wicket every 11.3 balls and he is our prediction for the Panthers’ top wicket taker against Lyca Kovai Kings.
- Suresh Kumar hit 75 runs from 48 balls against Nellai Royal Kings and took the Player of the Match Award. He is our pick for Lyca Kovai Kings’ highest run scorer in this game. Abhishek Tanwar is the top wicket taker in the competition and we are backing him to be Lyca Kovai Kings’ top wicket taker in this game.

SMP vs LKK Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Eliminator TNPL 2022
The first game of the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League play-offs sees Siechem Madurai Panthers and Lyca Kovai Kings clash in the Eliminator in Salem on Tuesday evening. The Panthers finished in third place, level on points with second placed Chepauk Super Gillies. The Kovai Kings posted eight points to finish fourth. Read on as we preview this match. The knockout game gets underway at the Salem Cricket Foundation Stadium at 19:15 local time.
The Panthers had a strong 36 run win over Ruby Trichy Warriors in their last match. They have many players who can chip in with bat and ball and they will be a tough opponent in this fixture.
It looked possible that the Kovai Kings could go through the competition without any victories until five games ago. They now have winning momentum and will have plenty of self-belief in their camp.

The play-off stage is always very interesting and entertaining for neutrals but the Eliminator can be a nervy affair for players and supporters alike.
