LKK vs NRK: Team Previews
Lyca Kovai Kings
Defending champions Lyca Kovai Kings are undefeated this TNPL 2024 edition, having won two in two. However, the previous game against Tiruppur Tamizhans nearly fell out of their grip until M Mohammed successfully defended 10 runs off the final over to steer Lyca to a 1-run thrilling victory.
Chasing 161 runs total, Tushar Raheja kept Tamizhans in the driver's seat with an 81 (57) knock. However, things went downhill following Raheja and Mohamed Ali's wicket. M Mohammed bowled the final over brilliantly to help Kovai snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Overall, Lyca Kovai Kings have had a dream start to the tournament and they must continue the momentum to advance to playoffs.

Nellai Royal Kings
Meanwhile, the Nellai Royal Kings have witnessed a similar trajectory and have won both of the games they have played until now.
The previous game against the Spartans was a complete team effort from Nellai. After Sonu Yadav picked a majestic fifer, Ajitesh Guruswamy and Laxmesha Suryaprakash led the chase with 40+ scores each.
Nellai Royal Kings successfully finished the chase with 7 balls to spare and advanced to the top of the table with a healthy run rate.
NRK have come across as a much more balanced and strong unit this TNPL 2024 season. The Saturday evening game will be a power packed show where fans will witness the top 2 teams of the season battle it out to reclaim supremacy.
