The 25th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 is set to be a high-stakes clash as the Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) take on the Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) in what promises to be a crucial encounter for both sides, albeit for very different reasons.
For CSG, this game marks their 7th consecutive outing in the league, and remarkably, they have won all six of their previous matches, sitting comfortably at the top of the points table. The team has displayed phenomenal form, with a well-balanced squad led by strong performances from both their top-order batters and consistent bowling unit. With playoff qualification already secured, CSG will now be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak and carry momentum into the knockout stages.
On the other hand, it's do-or-die for SMP, who have had a turbulent campaign. With just 2 wins from 6 games, they are languishing in 7th place on the table. Their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, and a loss here would all but eliminate them from the contention. SMP needs a collective effort – their batting has been patchy and their bowling inconsistent.
To challenge the in-form CSG, the Panthers must put forth their best game yet.From a fantasy perspective, CSG players like their in-form captain, lead pacer, and explosive opener are must-picks. For SMP, look out for their key all-rounder and top-order batters who could step up under pressure.
Head-to-Head: CSG vs SMP- Who Holds the Advantage?
SCG and SMP have had some fierce battles over the years, with SMP historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at NPR College Ground, Dindigul, SMP will have the home advantage, and their Bowling attack of J Prem Kumar and Rohit Suthar could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup, Balchander Anirudh, Ram Arvindh, NS Chaturved(c), Atheeq Ur Rahman, S Ganesh(w), and P Saravanan looks solid. On the other hand, SCG boasts an explosive batting unit, K Aashiq, RS Mokit Hariharan, N Jagadeesan(w), Vijay Shankar, Baba Aparajith and S Dinesh Raj. However, their biggest concern has always been their bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While J Prem Kumar and Rohit Suthar add depth, they’ll need to handle SMP’s aggressive top order. Given DD’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But SMP’s firepower makes them dangerous, and if their bowling holds up, an upset could be on the cards. Let’s break down their head-to-head record to see who holds the edge ahead of the TNPL 2025:
Total Matches Played: 2
CSG Wins: 2
SMP Wins: 6
No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0
Despite CSG having the firepower of K Aashiq, RS Mokit Hariharan, N Jagadeesan(w), Vijay Shankar, Baba Aparajith and S Dinesh Raj. SMP’s all-around strength and explosive players like P Saravanan and Murugan Ashwin give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in TNPL clashes.
As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, SMP might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Balchander Anirudh, Ram Arvindh, NS Chaturved(c), Atheeq Ur Rahman, S Ganesh(w), and P Saravanan, but CSG’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Vijay Shankar and Baba Aparajith make them a formidable opponent. NPR College Ground, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest!
No any Injury concerns.

Date: 28 June 2025

Stadium: NPR College Ground
Location: Dindigul
The NPR College Ground in Dindigul offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first-innings score between 160-170 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 170-180 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 180+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
