Madurai Panthers enter the 2023 season with renewed vigour and zeal. They had a successful 2022 season, qualifying in the top four, but were unable to advance to the competition’s finals. They’ll want to do better this year and get their hands on the cutlery. Similarly, Nellai Royal Kings had a fantastic season in the 2022 TNPL, finishing as table toppers. They, too, failed to make the finals after losing both of their qualifier matches back to back, effectively ending their good run.
Last year, the Panthers finished third in the group stage, while the Nellai Royal Kings won the group stage before being eliminated in Qualifier 2. Last year, the Madurai Panthers impressed in a number of games and will be hoping to get off to a winning start this year. They have a talented team that will beat Nellai Royal Kings in this match.

Hari Nishanth
Madhurai skipper Hari Nishanth is one of the most consistent performers in the tournament. However, the cricketer hasn’t played professional cricket in the last eight months and that’s a massive concern. But hiven his track record in TNPL, the cricketer can prove to be extremely dangerous for the opposition.
Sandeep Warrier
Sandeep Warrier can prove to be valuable as the pitch is expected to assist the pacers. Notably, the 32-year-old has played 68 T20 matches so far and picked up 62 wickets in the process. Sandeep can bowl well and has 33 T20 wickets to his name, including his best bowling figures of 3/12. Sandeep should be your first choice to captain or vice-captain your Dream11 prediction team.
