Match: SMP vs NRK TNPL T20i Match Prediction
Time: 05 Jul, 07:15 PM (IST)
Series: TNPL 2022 T20 Match 10
Venue: NPR College Ground – Dindigul, India
Info:
Sanjay Yadav has scored 142 runs in the tournament so far and is our tip for Nellai Royal Kings’ highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Sri Neranjan took 3-32 in Match 7 and we are backing him to be Nellai Royal Kings’ top wicket taker against Madurai Panthers.
Skipper NS Chaturved hit 75 runs from 45 balls in Madurai Pathers’ last game and he is our pick for their highest run scorer in this fixture. Kiran Akash has picked up 5 wickets from his two appearances in the 2022 TNPL. The medium fast bowler is a strong choice for Madurai Panthers’ top wicket taker against Nellai Royal Kings.
No player has scored more runs than Sanjay Yadav in this tournament so far. He is the form batter and is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
The temperature will drop by a couple of degrees from 30 to 28 degrees during this match. Moderate humidity and no chance of rain throughout the game.
🏟️ Pitch:
Although the spinners will get the most assistance from this surface, there will still be plenty of help for the seam bowlers. Any score above 180 should be easily defendable.
Toss Prediction:
The first game of the tournament went to a Super-Over but apart from that, every match has been won by the team batting second. We predict that both skippers will choose to field first in this match.
