Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Nellai Royal Kings Betting Tips
Let me make a clear prediction here. I am banking on Washington Sundar to star with both bat and ball. Given he bowls in the powerplay and then bats at the top of the order, you can expect things to be evenly in his direction. Hari Nishaanth and Swapnil Singh are two superstars of Tamil Nadu Cricket, with Nishaanth previously been a part of CSK line-up. I am expecting him to deliver as well. While Ashwin Crist was the best all-rounder from the last season, Sandeep Warrier’s presence would further add value to the base.

Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Nellai Royal Kings Betting Odds
NRK to have a cracking powerplay (Parimatch)
In the 2022 season of the TNPL, no team scored faster than Nellai Royal Kings in the powerplay, as they maintained a run-rate of 9.3 in that phase. With the addition of the likes of L Suryaprakash and KB Arun Karthik, things seemed more in favour of them and hence, expecting them to have a solid powerplay is understandable.
Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Nellai Royal Kings Best Batters
Sundar to be SMP’s best batter (Parimatch)
Washington, featured in only seven games in this year’s IPL because of a hamstring injury but has now recovered and will start the season for the Panthers. His numbers in the TNPL are pretty impressive - 599 runs in 16 innings @ 46.08. While he will certainly deliver with the ball, there is noone better with the bat in his team as well.
Arun Karthik to be NRK’s best batter (Melbet)
Arun Karthik is the second-highest run-scorer in the history of the Tamil Nadu Premier Legaue, having amassed 1622 runs at an average of 42.68 and a strike rate of 147.2. Those are impressive numbers and one that tells you why Karthik could be the difference between sides.
Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Nellai Royal Kings Best Bowlers
Sundar to be SMP’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Not often we back the same player to be the top run-scorer and top wicket-taker from a team, but such has been the might of Washington Sundar. In the last season, apart from his batting heroics, he picked up 26 wickets at an economy of 5.9. The 23-year-old is a quality player, and will be eager to back at his best.
Sonu Yadav to be NRK’s best bowler (Parimatch)
The fast-bowling all-rounder will have to be at his best if Nellai Royal Kings want to win their maiden TNPL title. The 23-year-old can consistently touch that 140-kmph mark and also play useful cameos down the order. Last season, Sonu not only hit 107 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 152.9 but also picked up 10 wickets at an economy rate of 7.8 and a strike rate of 15.9. Trust him to deliver with the ball.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Siechem Madurai Panthers
Our prediction aligns with Parimatch’s prediction for the match. Nellai Royal Kings were virtually unbeatable last season and they decided most of their core to ensure that the strengths are aligned mostly. Despite the presence of Washington Sundar in the Siechem line-up, overall things looks very much in favour of NRK, thanks to their power-pakced top-order and a gun bowling unit. Bank them to win the game.
