Match Details

Pitch Report

In the previous edition of TNPL last year, the pitches were on the slower side as batters found it difficult to play their shots freely. However, the first game at the NPR College Ground witnessed a high-scoring affair with 372 runs being scored. The first 200-plus total in TNPL 2024 was also posted in this match. If a similar wicket greets the two teams on Sunday, fans can expect another run-scoring affair.
