rtw vs nrk Match Prediction & Analysis

Nellai Royal Kings will take on the Ba11sy Trichy in Tirunelveli in their last league stage game. They have a chance to compete for second place in the points table if they win here and add two more points to their tally.

This will also be a good opportunity for the Kings’ batters to find their rhythm and return to form before the playoffs begin. Ba11sy Trichy are coming in this game on the back of a huge loss against Chepauk in their last match at this same venue.

After the bowlers did a fine job of restricting the Super Gillies to 129-7, Ba11sy Trichy were bowled out for 71 runs with Daryl Ferrario being the top scorer with 45 off 30 balls.

In their previous outing, Ba11sy Trichy were bowled out for 105 runs batting first against Madurai Panthers in Salem. The likes of R Rajkumar and Antony Das who were known for their big-hitting abilities haven’t found much success lately.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Ba11sy Trichy Preview

When in spite of having a good batting lineup, a team fails big, it needs some major upheaval in the setup to turn things around. Probably next season, Ba11sty Trichy will make some different selection choices and build a better side.

The likes of R Rajkumar and Antony Das in the lower order were supposed to be assets as they have delivered some match-winning finishes in the past. Not only these two but Ganga Sridhar Raju at the top is also struggling to find his form.

Daryl Ferrario is a key batsman in the middle order to watch out for. He has looked in good touch in recent outings and if he gets support from others, he may well build a strong partnership for Trichy. Though the batters are struggling big time, the bowling attack is pretty solid. There are the likes of Silambarasan, A Davidson, and the skipper G Sridhar Raju himself.

The bowlers delivered a great performance in the last game against a top side like Chepauk Super Gillies. And they will be confident going up against an inconsistent batting lineup of Nellai Royal Kings. However, a poor run of form with the bat will be Trichy’s Achilles Heel and unless they bounce back with the bat, they are looking at a 5th straight loss.

Ba11sy Trichy Predicted Playing XI:

Ganga Sridhar Raju (c), T Saran (wk), K Rajkumar, Daryl Ferrario, R Rajkumar, Antony Dhas, R Silambarasan, G Godson, K Easwaran, V Athisayaraj Davidson, Mani Bharathi

Ba11sy Trichy Actual Playing XI:

T Saran, G Godson, M Shajahan, Ganga Sridhar Raju, Ravi Rajkumar, Easwaran K, Ragupathy Silambarasan, Jafar Jamal, K Rajkumar, Daryl S Ferrario, Antony Dhas

Nellai Royal Kings Preview

Prior to their recent loss in Tirunelveli, the Kings chased down 160 against the Super Gillies in Chepauk and 129 runs in 16 overs in Dindigul against Salem Spartans.

A 160+ total at this venue in Tirunelveli would be a competitive total against Ba11sy Trichy. The likes of NS Harish, Poiyamozhi, and Sonu Yadav will be key bowlers for Nellai Royal Kings.

Sonu Yadav and NS Harish are handy with the bat as well and can make crucial contributions in the lower order, adding depth to this batting order. Another handy batsman in the lower order with the ability to finish things on a high is Laxmesha Suryaprakash.

The pitch here at the India Cement Company has been a bit challenging for batters to just go out and play their strokes. They may not be able to swing it out of the park as often and hence, the team needs someone at the top or middle to settle and play an anchor’s role.

Arun Karthik at the top and Ajithesh Guruswamy in the middle will be the ideal candidates for this role. These two need to stay around for long enough and keep the scorecard ticking. 

Nellai Royal Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Arun Karthik (c), Sri Neranjan, Rithik Easwaran (wk), Ajitesh Guruswamy, Laxmesha Suryaprakash, Nidhish Rajagopal, Sonu Yadav, NS Harish, M Poiyamozhi, S Mohan Prasath, Sandeep Warrier, Lakshay Jain S

Nellai Royal Kings Actual Playing XI:

NS Harish, Ajitesh G, Laxmesha Suryaprakash, S Lakshay Jain, SS Warrier, M Poiyamozhi, R Sonu Yadav, Arun Karthik, S Mohan Prasath, Veeramani T, Rithik Easwaran
