The competitiveness of the TNPL is on show as both sides are playing decent Cricket but are on other ends of the table. NRK, two points ahead of the Madurai Panthers are on second while Madurai are languishing at the bottom of the table. A win for SMP though will be very helpful, taking them all the way up to third or even second.
