How is the TNPL Played? The TNPL Format
Tamil Nadu Premier League is a state-level T20 competition that is hosted in the state of Tamil Nadu every year. Teams from the state of Tamil Nadu go head to head in a very similar manner to the IPL or other such T20 leagues from around the world with the only condition being that these should belong to the state of Tamil Nadu.
Currently, eight teams feature in the competition with four others having played and become defunct. Each of these current eight teams represents a city in Tamil Nadu.
The eight teams in the TNPL face off in a single-leg round-robin format with each of the sides facing off against the other once. This makes it seven matches for each of the teams in the group stages and a total of 28 games at that point.
The top four sides at the end of the group stage enter the playoffs from where the top two face off in the first Qualifier and the teams ranked third and fourth face off in an Eliminator.
The winner of the first Qualifier makes it to the final while the losing team faces the winner of the Eliminator in what is called the second Qualifier.
The second Qualifier winner makes it to the final to take on the winner of the first Qualifier.

What Happened Last Year at the TNPL T20?
Lyca Kovai Kings clinched the 2023 edition of the TNPL with a solid run in the tournament. They would go on to win eight of the nine matches they played in the competition including a rout of the Nellai Royal Kings in the final.
Earlier, Lyca Kovai Kings had topped the points table with six wins from seven games and faced the second-placed Dindigul Dragons in the first Qualifier. Incidentally, even the Dragons finished with six wins but were nudged to the second spot by their poor net run rate.
The teams placed third and fourth were Nellai Royal Kings and Siechem Madurai Panthers respectively, with five and four wins apiece.
Kovai Kings, who had beaten the Dragons in the group stages of the tournament, made it two wins in a row over them as they piled up 193/7 in their 20 overs and restricted their opponents to 163/9.
Nellai Royal Kings knocked out the Madurai Panthers in the Eliminator by four runs and then edged out the Dragons by six runs to make it to the final.
In the title decider, Kovai Kings amassed 205/5 in their 20 overs before bowling the Royal Kings out for 101.
