TEAMS PREVIEW
Nellai Royal Kings Preview
Nellai Royal Kings have struggled for consistency in the TNPL this season, winning just two of their five games while dropping the other three. They come into this one off the back of a heavy 67-run defeat against Lyca Kovai Kings, where they were bowled out for 98 chasing 166. With only two matches left in the group stage, any more mistakes could knock them out of semi-final contention.
Arun Karthik has been their top performer with the bat, scoring 163 runs in four innings with an average of 40.75 and a strike rate of 137.
D Santhosh Kumar has added some depth to the line-up with 138 runs from five innings, maintaining a strike rate of 151.
Sonu Yadav, NS Harish, and Muhammed Adnan Khan have added some runs, but none have offered the kind of steady performances the batting unit needs.
The bowling unit has looked more settled. Sonu Yadav leads with 12 wickets and has kept it reasonably tight, going at 7.61. Sachin Rathi and Valliappan Yudheeswaran have shared 13 wickets, although Valliappan has given away plenty, conceding over 11 per over.
Nellai Royal Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Ajitesh Guruswamy, Arun Karthik (c), NS Harish, Rithik Easwaran (wk), Athish SR, Muhammed Adnan Khan, Sonu Yadav, Sachin Rathi, Rocky Bhasker, Emmanuel Cherian, Valliappan Yudheeswaran Impact Player: D Santhosh Kumar

Dindigul Dragons Preview
Defending champions Dindigul Dragons have looked steady this season with three wins and two losses so far. In their latest fixture, they chased down a massive target of 189 against Salem Spartans and sealed a two-wicket win off the last ball.
Shivam Singh has been the main contributor with the bat, scoring 245 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 157. He already has two half-centuries and will be expected to step up once again.
Vimal Khumar and captain Ravichandran Ashwin bring a spark at the top and have helped set the tone early. Ashwin, particularly, has been hitting well and is now the second-highest scorer for the side with 185 runs from five games.
Baba Indrajith has had a few good moments, but the team will need more from their experienced batter if the middle order is to hold up through the season.
The bowling attack looks balanced. Sandeep Warrier and Ganeshan Periyaswamy have taken 10 wickets between them, while Ashwin and Varun Chakaravarthy have kept things tight and picked up wickets to slow down the opposition in the middle overs.
Dindigul Dragons Predicted Playing XI:
Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Shivam Singh, Baba Indrajith (wk), Hunny Saini, R K Jayant, Maan Bafna, M Karthik Saran, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sandeep Warrier, DT Chandrasekar, Ganeshan Periyaswamy Impact Player: Vimal Khumar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Indian Cement Company Ground isn’t the easiest place for batters, with its two-paced nature making timing a challenge. As the game moves along, the pitch tends to grip a bit more, which can bring spinners into the contest under lights. Batters who take their time early on usually settle in and start finding the gaps with better rhythm. Seamers who mix things up and stay disciplined around off stump tend to keep the pressure on.
In Tirunelveli, conditions are expected to stay cloudy with a steady wind, but the forecast suggests that the match should go ahead without any interruptions.
NRK vs DID Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Indian Cement Company Ground is close to 157. The highest total seen at this ground this season is Dindigul Dragons’ 192 for 8 while chasing 189 against Salem Spartans. That kind of scoring, though, is not common here. A first innings total in the 170 to 180 range should be enough to keep pressure on the team batting second right through the match.
Toss: To Bowl
In TNPL 2025, the trend has been to bowl first, with all of the last 13 matches seeing the captains winning the toss opting to do exactly that.

Winning Prediction
The TNPL 2025 has now reached the point where every match carries weight, and a single defeat can impact a team’s playoff hopes. Nellai Royal Kings have been inconsistent so far and must win here to avoid slipping further behind. On the other hand, defending champions Dindigul Dragons look better placed and are coming off a thrilling win that should give them plenty of confidence. Nellai have also suffered back-to-back defeats and are carrying a lot of pressure into this one. Looking at current momentum, Dindigul appear to be the more reliable option for this clash.
Dindigul Dragons are our picks for the winners of the match.
