NRK vs DD Team Previews

Nellai Royal Kings

Arun Karthik has continued his veteran brilliance this TNPL when he hit back-to-back half-centuries against Chepauk and Madurai. D Santhosh Kumar has been one of the team’s most explosive batters with 138 runs and a strike rate of 151.64. Rithik Easwaran will be looking to produce his absolute best. The batter is a strong competitor with over 300 runs in the league.

Sonu Yadav has starred with a dual impact in his previous match. The all-rounder took two for 16 and hit 23 runs. Muhammed Adnan Khan had fun against Kovai when he hit 26 off 20. NS Harish will puff out his chest with both bat and ball. The all-rounder has 197 runs and 25 wickets in the TNPL.

Rocky Bhasker has been one of the picks of the specialist bowlers with three wickets in three matches. Emmanuel Cherian's medium pace has brought a wicket in each of his last two games with him. Sachin Rathi has collected some important wickets this season.

The left-arm orthodox spinner took two wickets in his previous outing. Although Valliappan Yudheeshwaran has been expensive with the ball, he has still taken five wickets in four bowling innings.

Dindigul Dragons

Ravichandran Ashwin took the burden of beating Salem Spartans onto his shoulders. With the bat he hit 36 off 14 and with the ball the ball he took three for 22. Shivam Singh continued his aggressive ways in the previous match after sharing a 57-run opening stand against the Spartans with Ashwin.

Baba Indrajith smashed a crisp 73 against Chepauk. He will want to build on that continuously. 19-year-old RK Jayant has earned himself starts of 18 and 25 in his first two matches of the tournament.

Maan Bafna moves closer to the 800-run mark in the TNPL. It would be a well-earned achievement when he gets there after scoring three half-centuries along the way. Vimal Khumar has yet to make a major score in 2025, but he would be encouraged by scores of 28 and 24 against Kovai and Salem respectively. Hunny Saini struck 35 runs against the Spartans, his highest score of the season.

Sandeep Warrier was controlled with his lines and lengths, resulting in him taking one for 23 in four overs against Salem. Varun Chakravarthy and M Karthik Saran were two other bowlers to claim wickets in the same match against Salem.

Despite minimal reward in 2025, DT Chandrasekar adds value with the ball. The pace bowler’s best showing was two for 27 against Siechem Madurai Panthers.

NRK vs DD Toss Prediction

The toss may be swayed in favour of bowling first. Conditions may not be the only deciding factor after history also proves chasing to be successful. The past five head-to-heads have all been won by the side chasing.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Dindigul Dragons’ previous match at the venue was a belter. They required the full 20 overs to chase a target score of 189. There were 15 wickets in the match too. Balance should be the order of the day where batting and bowling is concerned. The pace bowlers should get rewarded for putting the ball in the right areas while the batters will need to be smart about scoring runs.

Much of the weather will be cloudy with some extremely hot and humid temperatures. The breeze of wind should counter that. There is a 15 percent chance of rain during the match too.

NRK vs DD: Who Will Win?

Nellai and Dindigul have been on the similar path to mixed fortunes this season. Dindigul Dragons has got one more win than their opponents though to put them marginally ahead as favourites. Their run to winning the 2024 edition of the tournament only required four wins to qualify for the knockouts before doing the business in the playoffs. They could equal that with a win in this match.

Bet on Dindigul Dragons to win this match.

NRK vs DD win percentage stands at 59% in favor of DD.
