The 18th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 will witness Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK) taking on Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) on June 21st, Saturday, at the Indian Cement Company Ground, Tirunelveli. The action begins at 7:15 PM IST, with live streaming available on FanCode.
Lyca Kovai Kings season has been poor thus far; they have dropped four straight games and are currently at the bottom of the standings. Despite boasting a strong squad, they’ve struggled to convert individual performances into team victories. On the other hand, Nellai Royal Kings have had a more composed season, with two wins from four matches placing them third in the standings. With better recent form and team cohesion, NRK enters this clash as the more confident unit.
The Tirunelveli pitch offers great assistance to batters early on, but under lights, it tends to slow down and bring spinners into play. Scores above 200 have been common, but bowlers who vary their pace can find some reward.
Weather: Cloudy and breezy with no rain interruptions expected.
Lyca has dominated the historical encounters, but current form favors Nellai.
