Nellai Royal Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Among the Nellai batters, Arun Karthik, Sri Neranjan, and Nidhish Rajagopal hold the key, They have arguably tournament’s most decorated all-rounder in Sonu Yadav, and the presence of Sandeep Warrier, Karthick Manikandan has only made their squad look even more impressive. Thanks to their overall contributions, they chased down a paltry 127-run target against Siechem Madurai Panthers in 13.4 overs and then saw off a challenging 182-run target on the last ball of the contest.

Despite having stars such as Vijay Shankar and Sai Kishore in their mix, Tiruppur looked very poor in both of their encounters so far. They could only muster 120/7 against Chepauk Super Gilles, and their opposition got the job done in just 15.4 overs. After that, against Lycia Kovia Kings, they were knocked over for 109 after coming to chase 180. If they want to stage a comeback, the likes of NS Chaturved, Tushar Raheja, and P Bhuvaneswaran must step up alongside Shankar and Kishore.

Nellai Royal Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Match Toss Prediction

Out of the first six matches in TNPL 2023, the chasing team emerged victorious on four occasions. These included two successful chases of the Royal Kings, while Tiruppur had one defeat while batting first and another while batting second. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the team will opt to field first after winning the toss.

Nellai Royal Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Betting Odds

Vijay Shankar to score over 21.5

One of the superstars in Tamil Nadu cricket, Vijay Shankar is one of the most consistent all-rounders in the domestic circuit, and batting is his primary strength. He tends to anchor the innings, and his run-a-ball 28 against the Gillies in their previous fixture showed exactly that. Hence, expecting him to score 22 or more is not a wild bet to put on, and the punters could be benefited if they rely on him.

Nellai Royal Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Top Team Batsmen

Arun Karthik to be Nellai Royal Kings’ top batter

Arun Karthik had an average of 41.86 in TNPL 2022, courtesy of aggregating 293 runs in eight outings at a strike rate of 127.39. The 37-year-old played beautifully against the Panthers in the tournament opener, making 32 off just 12 deliveries but fell for a golden duck in the following fixture, against Kovai Kings. The Royal Kings skipper will be keen to get back to his good old form, and this should be the fixture he is waiting for.

NS Chaturved to be the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans’s top batter

The Tirippur opener was one of the top run-getters in TNPL 2022, having tallied 180 runs across eight matches. However, he had a torrid start this year, as he departed after scoring in single digits (8 and 4) in both matches. Still, keeping the 32-year-old’s skillset in mind, it only takes one good match to regain the form, and who knows the Royal Kings fixture could be an ideal one for the veteran.

Nellai Royal Kings vs IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Top Team Bowlers

Sandeep Warrier to be Nellai Royal Kings’ top bowler

Sandeep Warrier had an excellent TNPL 2022, having got 11 wickets in nine matches, only behind the tally of Abhishek Tanwar (17 wickets) and Kiran Akash (12). However, the 32-year-old right-arm quick is yet to have a memorable outing in the competition this year, as he has not picked up a wicket in two attempts. Still, given his history of snaring wickets in regular intervals, we would recommend the punters keep faith in Warrier more than anyone else in the Royal Kings’ bowling unit.

Sai Kishore to be the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans’s top bowler

Having taken 11 wickets in just six matches in TNPL 2022, Sai Kishore finished as the joint-third highest-wicket-taker in the competition last year alongside Warrier. The Tiruppur skipper had an excellent start this year as well, claiming 2/24 against Kovai Kings, but returned ordinary figures of 0/39 in their previous match against Gillies. Yet, considering how influential Sai Kishore is in the Tiruppur bowling attack, bank upon the 26-year-old left-arm spinner to yield benefits.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Nellai Royal Kings

Given how powerful Nellai Royal Kings roster is, we would recommend the punters to rely on Arun Karthik and his boys for getting rewarded.
