TNPL 2025: DD vs CSG Fantasy Preview – Clash of Equals in the 14th Match of the Season

The stage is set for a thrilling clash in Match 14 of the TNPL 2025, as the Dindigul Dragons get ready to lock horns with the in-form Chepauk Super Gillies. Both teams have plenty at stake — for the Dragons, it's about building on their recent win and staying in the race for the playoffs, while for the Super Gillies, it’s a chance to tighten their grip at the top of the table. 

Chepauk have looked sharp right from the start of the tournament, winning all three of their matches so far. With six points in the bag and momentum firmly on their side, they’ll be eyeing a fourth straight victory — one that could practically guarantee them a place in the knockout stage. 

The Dragons, meanwhile, head into this contest on the back of a confidence-boosting win over the Siechem Madurai Panthers. They’ll be hoping to ride that wave into this fixture and hand Chepauk their first loss of the season. 

When it comes to head-to-head matchups, the numbers don’t lie — Chepauk Super Gillies have had the upper hand in this rivalry. Out of 12 meetings, they’ve come out on top eight times, while Dindigul have managed four wins. 

As far as key players go, Chepauk will be banking on the experience and batting power of Vijay Shankar. The all-rounder has the knack for shifting gears quickly, and if he gets going, the Dragons’ bowlers could be in for a long evening. For Dindigul, Varun Chakravarthy could make all the difference. The mystery spinner has a reputation for turning games around in the middle overs, and his ability to choke runs and pick up wickets could be the Dragons’ biggest weapon against Chepauk’s strong batting unit. 

Head-to-Head: DD vs CSG- Who Holds the Advantage?

DD and CSG have had some fierce battles over the years, with SCG historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at SFC Cricket Ground, SCG will have the home advantage, and their Bowling attack of  Sandeep Warrier and Ganeshan Periyaswamy could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup Ravichandran Ashwin(c), Shivam Singh, Vimal Khumar, Baba Indrajith(w), Aakaash Sharma, Maan Bafna and M Karthik Saran looks solid. On the other hand, DD boasts an explosive batting unit, featuring K Aashiq, RS Mokit Hariharan, Baba Aparajith(c), Vijay Shankar, N Jagadeesan(w), Swapnil Singh and S Dinesh Raj. However, their biggest concern has always been their bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While Abhishek Tanwar and J Prem Kumar add depth, they’ll need to handle CSG’s aggressive top order. Given DD’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But CSG’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: 10

DD Wins: 5

CSG Wins: 7

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0

Despite DD having the firepower of Shivam Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Vimal Khumar, Hunny Saini, Baba Indrajith and Maan Bafna. CSG’s all-around strength and explosive players like Vijay Shankar and A Tanwar 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.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, CSG might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Ravichandran Ashwin(c), Shivam Singh, Vimal Khumar, Baba Indrajith(w), Aakaash Sharma, Maan Bafna and M Karthik Saran, but DD’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Ravichandran Ashwin and M Karthik Saran make them a formidable opponent. SNR College Cricket Ground, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest!

DD vs CSG Match Pitch Report:     

The SCF Cricket Ground in Salem 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.
