TNPL 2022: Match 7 & 8- Preview, Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Match Details, and Updates

The Tamil Nadu Premier League 2022 is quickly getting into its stride as six games have been played so far. All of the recently concluded matches have been a closely fought affair with no team coming out as better than the rest.

The league is still in its nascent stage and there is still time for teams to get better. Teams would be looking to get into the rhythm of the game. To do that same and hopefully more, four teams come together in matches 7 and 8 of the TNPL 2022. Let’s look at the preview for both these games.

Match 7: Nellai Royal Kings vs Dindigul Dragons

In the first game of 30^th June, the first placed Nellai Royal Kings go against fifth-placed Dindigul Dragons for a claim at the very top. Nellai Royal Kings have won both of their matches amassing four points in the process. Meanwhile, Dindigul lost their first match but won the next to gain two points from it.

Both these teams have played just one game against each other in which the NRK came out on top. Captain Hari Nishaanth from Dindigul and Baba Aparajith from NRK would be the players to watch.

Nellai Royal Kings Probable XI: Laxmesha Suryaprakash, Pradosh Ranjan Paul, Baba Aparajith, Baba Indrajith (c), Ajitesh G, Sanjay Yadav, Jitendra Kumar CH, M Shajahan, NS Harish, V Athisayaraj Davidson, Arya Yohan Menon.

SMP and LKK have played just one game against each other two years ago. That game was won by Lyca but two years are a long time to deduce anything for this upcoming match.
