Match Preview

History repeats itself as two teams from last year’s Eliminator meet again. The stakes will be lower this time, with this still being a league game. There won’t be any team exiting the playing field after today, but the ramifications of a loss would leave a dent in play-off ambitions.

Dindigul Dragons have found a way to recover after a bit of a disaster against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

Conditions are expected to be cloudy with a 49 percent chance of rain. Temperatures will be in the 30s degrees Celsius and just over 50 percent humidity.

DD vs CSG Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Narayan Jagadeesan has been one of the few players to experience the Tamil Nadu system at its fullest. The right-hander has played for Tamil Nadu state sides from age-group level to senior level. His T20 batting average over 30 proves his hunger for runs.

Batters

Shivam Singh has written his name among the stars of this competition with almost 1000 runs in just over 20 innings. Maan Bafna, despite limited innings this season, has the potential to go big. The left-hander has three TNPL career half-centuries. Baba Aparajith has taken this year’s TNPL by the scruff of the neck with a half-century to start before back-to-back scores in the 40s. K Aashiq is in brutal form at the moment. The left-hander has 89 runs in his past two innings.

All Rounders

Dindigul captain Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the best T20 all-rounders in domestic cricket for years now. As an off-spinner, he has more than 300 wickets. Vijay Shankar has yet to hit a milestone in this tournament. His scores of 41 not out, 47 not and 34 not out show that he is not far away though. Abhishek Tanwar’s most recent bowling performance was his best one so far. He took four for 16 against Lyca Kovai Kings.

Bowlers

Five wickets in three matches, with two two-wicket hauls, makes Ganeshan Periyaswamy a bowler he could be a massive threat. Sandeep Warrier started hot off the blocks with two wickets in his first match this year. J Prem Kumar’s most striking feature is his economy rate of 6.81. He has grabbed five wickets in four matches though. M Silambarasan has already started 2025 well with two for 18 against Nellai in his opening game this year.

DD vs CSG Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Shivam Singh has been a thorn in most bowlers’ sides. The opening batter has a career TNPL batting average over 50 with a strike rate over 140.

Vice-Captain

Vijay Shankar has moved along nicely to over 450 runs in the TNPL. The all-rounder has also done that at a strike rate over 130. With his bowling, he has 15 wickets.

DD vs CSG Team Expert Advice

You should look to get the seam bowlers involved with the potential light rain around. They may have a joyous time in the powerplay with seam movement.

The spinners may play more of a holding role. Experienced internationals like Ravichandran Ashwin and Varun Chakravarthy are clever enough to contain the runs in conditions which won’t be fully ideal for spin-bowling.

The batters who have mix of power and precision should be good to go for this match. Shivam Singh is one of those batters who has taken the league by storm.
