Pitch Report: SNR College Cricket Ground
Coimbatore’s SNR College Cricket Ground is not a venue accustomed to matches with high-scoring totals. Through 10 TNPL matches, the first-innings average is just 139, with teams achieving 4 total wins batting first, and 6 for teams chasing. This indicates a small bowler advantage – although the prevailing conditions, and time of day, are critical for gauging how much impact they have had. It’s worth noting that the dew could offer bowling a greater advantage during evening games where teams could find the ball can become slippery too.
Some recent match trends throughout the TNPL 2025 season have demonstrated teams pot the pressure on chasing scores, with all three of the matches at this venue winning by the team who bowled first. For example, this translates to a score being likely to defend if it is in the vicinity of 150-160; however, this will be dependant on the conditions of the pitch on the day. The nature of the spin pitch should play a critical role in fourou in your thinking, most importantly in the space of a strategic balance to the spinning attack you do hold. BasicAutopilot
Head-to-Head Record
The Nellai Royal Kings hold the winning advantage against the Chepauk Super Gillies in their recent battles, winning four of five matchups. The most recent matchup was in TNPL 2024 where NRK chased down CSG’s 168/7 with three wickets remaining, aided by G Ajitesh (30 runs) and Nidhish Rajagopal (53 runs) being the key as the chase to complete the successful run. The only victory by CSG over NRK happened in an earlier meeting, allowing for the chance they could topple NRK’s recent run of momentum. That said, the overall records still give NRK the marginal upper hand before the match, but CSG together with the wins may upset that balance.
Team Form and Key Players
Chepauk Super Gillies
CSG is in top (or great) form having won their last match convincingly and sitting first with respect to the points table. Baba Aparajith (77* off 46 balls) led from the front as CSG defeated Dindigul Dragons last game, earning Player of the Match! He also had good support from Vijay Shankar (41*) and Mokit Hariharan (47). Abhishek Tanwar (2 wickets) and Prem Kumar are key bowlers to look out for; Tanwar is leading wicket taker for CSG. They are a dangerous team with a strong batting depth with all-rounders contributing to their team.
Nellai Royal Kings
The NRK come off a steady win against the Trichy Grand Cholas, which gave them some balance as they finished third with a +0.529 NRR. They scored 155 for 8, thanks to Arun Karthik (41) and Santosh Kumar Duraisamy (45), and NS Harish (35* off 22) completed the chase. Sonu Yadav was the best bowler with 3/22, making him a critical part. G Ajitesh had also been a big run getter in previous seasons (385 runs in 2023) and should get into the game. The NRK have a balanced team that will give them more confidence along with their history.
Betting Tips and Predictions
Betting Recommendations and Predictions Based on form, pitch conditions, and historical data – here are our betting recommendations for TNPL 2025 Match 6:
- Match Winner: Chepauk Super Gillies. CSG has had a strong start and has a greater batting depth which gives them the win slightly over NRK despite NRK having a head-to-head record advantage to CSG. Also recent eight-wicket win very strongly showed the CSG team when wanting to chase or defend sets.
- Toss Winner: Nellai Royal Kings. The Cricket Odds indicate probable NRK to win the toss and therefore bowls first as CRICKET tends to chase at SNR. Top Batter: Baba Aparajith (CSG) and G Ajitesh (NRK). Baba Aparajith scored 77* in the last game and G Ajitesh has also scored 160+ with clear explosive history (112 off 60 in 2023) makes these both players crucial for betting.
- Top Bowler: Prem Kumar (CSG) and Sonu Yadav (NRK). Prem Kumar kept his series record above average and Yadav had an excellent 3/22 just recently, makes these are in a ‘bowlers pitch’.
- Most Sixes: Baba Aparajith (CSG) and G Ajitesh (NRK). Both are aggressive batters hitting sixes so clearance frequency could see clearence.
- Player of the Match: Baba Aparajith (CSG). His allround performances will impact this match. Both teams will score batting first but CSG have the batting firepower to get really higher than estimated, CSG should look for 175+ and NRK should play for a competition (160+).
- Team Scores Batting First: CSG 175+, NRK 160+. CSG’s express batting included 15 sixes which would imply they could reach a much higher score, while NRK’s balanced batting, led by a solid batting performer, could imply they will try to get a competitive total.
