TNPL 2025, Match 27: ITT vs NRK

The 27th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 is set to be a crucial encounter as the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) take on the Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) at the NPR College Ground, Dindigul. This will be the 7th and final league-stage match for both sides, making it a high-pressure game—especially for NRK.

ITT come into this game with 3 wins from 6 matches, placing them in the mid-table mix. A victory here could significantly boost their playoff chances, depending on other results. The Tamizhans have had a mixed season so far, showing flashes of brilliance but also some inconsistent performances. Their batting unit has started to find rhythm, and their bowling, particularly in the powerplay, has been effective. With momentum slightly on their side, ITT will be eyeing a strong finish to the league stage.

For NRK, the scenario is straightforward but steep—they must win this match to keep their playoff hopes alive. With just 2 wins from 6 matches, their campaign has been underwhelming. Despite having a talented squad, NRK has struggled to convert opportunities into victories. Their batting has lacked firepower in the middle overs, and their bowling has leaked runs at key moments. However, with everything to play for, expect NRK to come out with an aggressive approach and play fearless cricket.

Head-to-Head: ITT vs NRK- Who Holds the Advantage?

ITT and NRK have had some fierce battles over the years, with ITT historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at NPR College Ground, NRK will have the home advantage, and their Bowling attack of Sachin Rathi and Valliappan could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup, led by Arun Karthik(c), Ajitesh Guruswamy, Rithik Easwaran(w), PS Nirmal Kumar, NS Harish, Sonu Yadav and Muhammed Adnan Khan looks solid. On the other hand, ITT boasts an explosive batting unit, featuring Tushar Raheja (wk), Amit Sathvik, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore (c), Pradosh Ranjan Paul and Uthirasamy Sasidev. However, their biggest concern has always been their bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While R Sai kishor and T Natarajan add depth, they’ll need to handle NRK’s aggressive top order. Given ITT’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But NRK’s firepower makes them dangerous, and if their bowling holds up, an upset could be on the cards. Let’s break down their head-to-head record to see who holds the edge ahead of the TNPL 2025:

Total Matches Played: 4

ITT Wins: 3

NRK Wins: 1

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0

Despite NRK having the firepower of Arun Yoghi, Athish S R, Arun Karthik, Ajitesh Guruswamy, Muhammed Adnan Khan, and S Risheek Kumar looks solid, ITT’s all-around strength and explosive players like Daryl Ferrario and Mohamed Ali give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in TNPL clashes.

Match Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, ITT might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Tushar Raheja (wk), Amit Sathvik, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore (c), Pradosh Ranjan Paul and Uthirasamy Sasidev looks solid, but NRK’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like PS Nirmal Kumar and Sonu Yadav make them a formidable opponent. NPR College Cricket Ground, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.

LKK vs NRK Match Pitch Report:     

The SCF Cricket Ground in Salem offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first-innings score between 160-170 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 170-180 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 180+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
