This match won’t be the same high stakes as the teams’ previous meeting in the TNPL 2024 play-offs. That won’t stop Tiruppur and Dindigul from going all out to try claim two points in what could be a decisive game as the tournament heads into the latter stages.
Both teams are only one match in, but the Dragons have looked like a classy outfit with a convincing seven-wicket win in their season opener.
The Tamizhans received the opposite treatment after an eight-wicket loss.

Neither side has any niggles to be concerned about. They will be fully firing on all cylinders for this clash.
A balanced affair should not be too difficult to find at this venue. The only difference may be that the sides will need to score a daunting total in the first innings to challenge the sides chasing under the lights. There is a small chance of rain which could benefit the seamers in the powerplay.
Tushar Raheja has been a successful player in the league. The left-hander has almost 700 runs in his TNPL career. Baba Indrajith has one of the most impressive TNPL records with almost 1200 runs, seven half-centuries and a high score of 96.
Left-handed batter Pradosh Ranjan Paul was one of the few bright sparks in the Tiruppur team’s loss to Chepauk. He hit 38 runs in the match. Shivam Singh’s milestones in this tournament are a massive advantage to him. He is the only batter across both squads to hit a TNPL century when he hit 106 against Siechem Madurai Panthers in 2024. Maan Bafna is an important player in the context of the Dragons’ batting engine. The left-hander has almost 800 runs in Tamil Nadu’s premier domestic T20 competition.
Off-spinner and all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin will be one of the most important all-rounders in the Dragons lineup. He will stand tall not only with bat and ball but as the side’s leader too. Ashwin has 72 T20I wickets with two four-wicket hauls.
Ragupathy Silambarasan should not be undervalued. The medium-fast bowler has 50 wickets in the league with one five-wicket haul. Left-arm orthodox spinner Sai Kishore has just completed his most successful IPL season with the Gujarat Titans. The bowler took 19 wickets across 15 matches. Fast bowler Sandeep Warrier has plenty of T20 experience to provide his team.
In the TNPL, he has 30 wickets with best bowling figures of four for 29. Varun Chakravarthy’s international experience on the T20 scene should not be underestimated. He was part of the India men’s T20 World Cup squad in 2021.
Ravichandran Ashwin would be the first pick in most sides of this tournament. The all-rounder has been an inspirational figure in Indian cricket domestically and internationally. Ashwin has both 1233 runs and 317 wickets in his T20 career.
Batter Shivam Singh would be hot property after his 2024 TNPL season. The batter has a batting average of 45 and strike rate of almost 140 across his TNPL career.
Your pace bowler picks could be vital because of the bowling conditions that will be at their disposal. The fast bowlers will need to use the new ball as their friend in the opening powerplay.
The batters won’t necessarily have to go into their shell, but they may need to find a more cautious approach to start off with. The batters who are better at rotating strike could be the best bets in your Dream11 lineup.
The leader where Dream11 fantasy points is concerned, is currently Shivam Singh on 363 points after the last five T20s. Tushar Raheja has also been profitable at 337
Shivam Singh is currently ahead on a tally of 82 runs. Tushar Raheja at 79 runs is right behind him
Sandeep Warrier, Ganeshan Periyaswamy and Ravichandran Ashwin are all equal on two wickets each
Tushar Raheja and Shivam Singh have both hit five sixes each
Hunny Saini leads the pack with a strike rate of 300. Tushar Raheja and Shivam Singh both have strike rates over 150
DT Chandrasekar and Sandeep Warrier have both been brilliant where economy rate is concerned. They have economy rates of 6.25 and 6.75 respectively
