DD vs TGC Team Previews

Dindigul Dragons

Shivam Singh is a mainstay in Dindigul Dragons' top order. He had to take a measured approach in his previous innings with 37 runs at a strike rate under 100. Baba Indrajith’s calm presence at the crease will be required to avoid anything dramatic.

He hit 33 runs in last year’s clash against Trichy Grand Cholas. Maan Bafna will look to step up to the occasion after scoring 50 against his opponents in 2024, albeit for Tiruppur. Vimal Khumar showed his value in the recovery effort against Trichy Grand Cholas. He finished on an unbeaten 55 runs.

Captain Ravichandran Ashwin outclassed Trichy with the ball in 2024. The off-spinner ended with bowling figures of three for 18 in four overs. Hunny Saini’s most recent innings was fast and furious with 21 runs off 11 balls. M Karthik Saran has struggled with only two double-digit scores and one wicket.

Sandeep Warrier adds new-ball menace with his swing and pace. The right-armer took two for 17 in four overs against the Grand Cholas in 2024. Varun Chakravarthy was handy back-up to Warrier with one for 22 in the same innings.

Ganeshan Periyaswamy and Ravichandran Sasidharan stepped up to the task of trying to defend 150 for six against Trichy. Both bowlers took two wickets each.

Trichy Grand Cholas

Suresh Kumar’s reliability at the top of the order will be highly required in a crunch game. The opening batter has 116 runs in his past three innings. S Sujay has shown promise in Dindigul after an innings of 48 against Salem at the ground in 2024.

Waseem Ahmed has not quite followed his act of 2024. With more than 200 runs last season, his record shows that he has the quality to change the momentum of a game.

The team relies heavily on the versatile Sanjay Yadav. His power and might steered the team home after 55 runs not out off his bat against Dindigul. Jagatheesan Kousik played a supporting role to Yadav after a mature innings of 42 runs off 35 balls. R Rajkumar’s explosivity with 31 runs off 17 balls was a top knock under pressure against Dindigul Dragons in 2024. U Mukilesh has shown flashes of potential. His innings of 48 not out against Tiruppur at the same venue in 2024 underlies that.

Saravana Kumar has been a go-to fast bowler. His quality brought about two Dindigul Dragons wickets in the team’s previous match. Athisayaraj Davidson was another bowler to stall the progress of the reigning champions with two wickets of his own.

Although their economy rates varied dramatically in the previous innings, both N Selva Kumaran and K Easwaran grabbed a wicket as well.

Trichy Grand Cholas Expected Playing 11

Waseem Ahmed, Suresh Kumar (c/wk), S Sujay, Jagatheesan Kousik, U Mukilesh, Sanjay Yadav, R Rajkumar, Saravana Kumar, Athisayaraj Davidson, N Selva Kumaran, K Easwaran

DD vs TGC Toss Prediction

The toss could be a key factor after deciding the outcome of the team’s previous match. Trichy won the game by four wickets in the final over.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The wicket at NPR College Ground is a touch lower and slower than the others. While the initial beginning phase of the game might lean slightly in favour of batting, the surface typically deteriorates. The spinners will get the edge in later overs. Dindigul Dragons posted 150 for six in 20 overs in their previous match at the ground.

The chance of rain for this match sits at ten percent. Overall, the weather conditions will be cloudy, while also being very hot and humid.

DD vs TGC: Who Will Win?

Trichy’s result against Dindigul may not count for much in a one-off knockout game. Dindigul has far more experience in the play-offs with one title, twice coming runners-up and three other play-off appearances. Trichy has only ever played in one final and come up as second-best.

Bet on the Dindigul Dragons to win this match.

DD vs TGC win percentage stands at 61% in favor of DD.
