The 14th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 will be played between Nellai Royal Kings and Chepauk Super Gillies on Saturday, June 24, at SCF Cricket Ground, Salem.
It has been a dominant show for the Nellai Royal Kings in the tournament so far, as they have won three out of the four matches they have played. Their recent thumping five-wicket victory over the Salem Spartans must have fueled their determination to maintain their winning streak.
On the other hand, the Chepauk Super Gillies have had a mix of results in the tournament, managing to secure victories in two out of the four matches played. They suffered a narrow one-run defeat in their last game against the Dindigul Dragons and would be eager to bounce back stronger in the tournament.
Speaking of rankings, the Nellai Royal Kings currently find themselves in the third position on the points table, with six points in their account. Meanwhile, the Chepauk Super Gillies are positioned just below them, holding the fourth spot with four points to their credit.
