NRK vs CSG are set to square off against each other in match no.4 of the ongoing Tamil Nadu Premier League 2024 on July 7, 2024, at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem.
Kings finished the last season of the tournament as the runner-ups as they lost to Lyca Kovai Kings in the finals. The Arun Karthik-led side will be gearing up for their first game of the competition and will be in the mindset of lifting the trophy this time around.
On the other hand, the Chepauk-based franchise played the curtain raiser of the tournament and suffered a 13-run defeat against the defending champions.

Chepauk Super Gillies skipper Baba Aparjith could be the best batter in the upcoming match.

Though his side lost the game, the batter got some runs and will be confident coming in the next game.

The 32-year-old right-arm quick had a wonderful opening match, claiming a four-wicket haul. Though all his efforts went in vain, his bowling was the only positive for his side.
