The 19th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2022 will see the Ruby Trichy Warriors (RTW) take on the Nellai Royals Kings (NRK) at the SNR College in Coimbatore on Friday, July 15.
The Nellai Royal Kings have been the team to beat in TNPL 2022, winning all five of their games so far. The likes of Sanjay Yadav and Baba Aparajith have stepped up with the bat, coming up with valuable contributions at times of need. However, they come across a decent Ruby Trichy Warriors side who have performed better than what the points table might indicate. They have a good blend of youth and experience to fall back on, with all eyes being on Murali Vijay. With two valuable points up for grabs, a cracker of a game beckons in Coimbatore.

Pitch Report
A decent batting track is on the cards at the SNR College Ground, with the bowlers also expected to get some help off the surface. The new ball should do a bit for the pacers, who will also have some extra bounce to play with. As the match progresses, the pitch can ease out and allow the batters to play their shots freely. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing under the lights.
Today’s NRK vs RTW Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeepers
Baba Indrajith: Baba Indrajith has shown glimpses of his ability in the tournament, but is due a big knock in the middle order for Nellai Royal Kings. Indrajith has been in fine form over the last year or so, even earning an IPL contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Given his knack for scoring handy runs in the backend of the innings, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batters
Murali Vijay: Murali Vijay has been brilliant in his TNPL comeback, scoring 103 runs in just three matches at an impressive strike rate of 160.94. He is a good player of both pace and spin, holding him in good stead. Although he is likely to bat at number No. 3 or 4, Vijay's form makes him a must-have in your NRK vs RTW Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounders
Sanjay Yadav: Sanjay Yadav has been the undeniable star of the TNPL so far, starring with both the bat and ball this season. While he has held his own with his left-arm spin, his batting exploits, 219 runs at a strike rate of 192.11, set him apart. With the conditions suiting Sanjay, he is a good addition to your NRK vs RTW Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Ajay Krishna: Ajay Krishna has been a revelation in the TNPL this season, picking up wickets with the new ball on a consistent basis. He has stuck to his strengths and delivered at times of need, holding him in good stead. Given his form and the conditions on offer, Ajay can be backed to add to his tally today.
