Injuries & Illnesses

The bottom line for both teams will be that both squads walk into the game injury-free.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

You can expect the weight of a play-off match combined with the slower nature of the pitch to produce lower scores in this match. The spinners have been key, particularly later in the innings after the surface has had some use. There were only just over 300 runs in total for the previous match between these sides.

DD vs TGC Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Suresh Kumar was involved with the 2024 top-ranked Lyca Kovai Kings. He returns to the play-offs with Trichy Grand Cholas this time around. A stellar career with over 1000 runs and eight half-centuries proves he has what it takes to handle the pressure.

Batters

Vimal Khumar is peaking when the results matter most. The middle-order batter has 124 runs in his past three innings, including a half-century. Hunny Saini is another Dindigul Dragon to continue the trend of getting better as the tournament goes on. He has 93 runs in his past three innings. Shivam Singh is writing his name into the list of legendary Dindigul Dragons. The batter’s recent form reads 352 runs in the past ten matches with a batting average over 50.

All Rounders

Born in Tamil Nadu, Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the region’s favourite sons. The spin-bowling all-rounder has 1233 runs and a mighty 317 wickets, including four four-wicket hauls, in domestic T20s. R Rajkumar’s batting firepower makes him play like a man possessed at times. The brutal batter has a batting average of 48.17 and a strike rate of 214.07 in his past ten TNPL games.

Jagatheesan Kousik has filled his boots with runs in recent games. The right-hander has hit 95 runs in his past three innings with two scores in the 40s.

Bowlers

There will be no complaints about including Athisayaraj Davidson in your lineup after the fast bowler has taken 18 wickets in his past ten matches. Saravana Kumar has also done some damage in his past ten matches after taking 11 wickets in that time. Varun Chakravarthy has continued to keep fans in the stadium with his bowling performances.

The mystery-spinner has taken 13 wickets in his past ten innings. Ganeshan Periyaswamy continues a chain of sparkling bowling performances. He has now taken two-wicket hauls in each of his last two matches.

DD vs TGC Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Ravichandran Ashwin’s recent all-round form in the league is second to none. He has both 370 runs and ten wickets in his past ten TNPL appearances. Those staggering numbers also feature a batting average over 40, a strike rate of almost 160 and an economy rate of just under seven.

Vice-Captain

The value of an all-rounder in T20 cricket should not be underrated. R Rajkumar is one such all-rounder who continues to stay in the hunt for runs and wickets in every phase of the game. The Trichy star player already has two half-centuries in the locker this season.
