Yanam Royals enter the contest back off a crushing defeat in the last game against Mohit Kings. They have played a poor brand of cricket. Villianur posted 230/4 while batting first and Yanam were bowled out for 138 runs. Earlier, they lost in the super over. Royals also lost to Mahe Megalo Strikers by four wickets. Yanam posted 184 runs, thanks to Sanaboyina Tarun’s 72 off 46 balls. Their bowlers failed to defend this total.
Yanam only have two points so far. They would be looking for the comeback victory as they take on Ossudu Accord Warriors in the next assignment. Consistency will be a key factor for any team in this tournament. They can’t afford a fourth defeat in the competition. One more loss will keep them out of the competition.
Yanam Royals won their opening game against White Town Giants by six wickets. They chased down 157 runs in 15.2 overs. Parameeswaran scored 66 off 25 balls in the chase.
