Nellai Royal Kings had significantly reduced their loss of wickets in the closing stages of the league games as they chased down three totals with an average loss of 3 wickets per game. Also, they are way ahead of their opponent, the Siechem Madurai Panthers, in the aspect of batting and way down when compared with the formidable bowling attack of SMP. Therefore, this contest is a perfect instance of bat and ball. Guruswamy Ajitesh is the find of the tournament and has been their star performer with the bat.

Throughout the course of the season, the Siechem Madurai Panthers have had a wide variety of performances. They have played in a number of low-scoring games, with the exception of their most recent contests, where either their batters struggled against the opposition's bowlers or their own bowlers claimed all ten wickets to hold the opposition to a low score. Their recent two league games saw them score 160 or more, demonstrating considerable improvement in their batting skills. Gurjapneet Singh has led their pace attack, striking at vital moments to disrupt the opposition's batting order. Therefore, they rely more on their bowlers to pass this elimination test.

Player Picks

7.5
C

G Ajitesh NRK | BAT

He is the leading run-getter for his team. In the last seven innings, he has accumulated 261 runs, including scores like 56 (29) and 39 (31).

8.5
C

Gurjapneet Singh SMP | BOWL

The powerplay bowler, a left-arm pacer, appears to be in excellent form. His 13 wickets in his last seven games at a great economy rate demonstrate his ability to take wickets during the crucial part of the game.

8.5

M Poiyamozhi NRK | BOWL

He bowls in almost all phases of the game as he is their best bowler, having secured 11 wickets in his previous seven outings.

8

C Hari Nishanth SMP | BAT

The opener is highest run-scorer for his team this season, with a decent average of 24 runs in seven games. His experience at the top could help him play a responsible knock in the eliminator contest. He has a career strike rate of 121 in 29 matches.

8

R Sonu Yadav NRK | BOWL

This bowling all-rounder has showcased his versatility by contributing with both bat and ball. He has scored 98 runs and taken six wickets in seven innings.

8

Ajay Krishna SMP | ALL

He has taken eight wickets in his last four games and has been in excellent form. He has been the most impressive bowler lately among both teams.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Jagatheesan Kousik

SMP | ALL

He has had two opportunities that may have saved his team, but he has only been able to score 20 runs in the previous two innings. Given his recent performances, it might be safer to pass on him for the time being.

8

Anton A Subikshan

SMP | ALL

In the past two innings, he has only been able to score 17 runs, despite having two chances to potentially save his side. It could be wiser at this moment to avoid him based on his recent performances.
