TNPL 2025: DD vs TGC 28th Match of the Season

The 28th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 is set to be a high-stakes encounter between the Dindigul Dragons (DD) and the Tiruppur Tamizhans (TGC) at the NPR College Ground, Dindigul. As both sides head into their 7th match of the season, the playoff race heats up — especially for TGC, who are on the brink of elimination.

The Dindigul Dragons have been one of the more consistent sides this season, with 4 wins from their 6 games, placing them firmly in playoff contention. A win here will virtually seal their spot in the top four and boost their chances for a top-two finish. The Dragons have thrived on team balance, disciplined bowling, and the form of key batters at the top.

In contrast, the Tiruppur Tamizhans have endured a disappointing campaign, managing just 2 wins in 6 matches. This is a must-win clash for them — a loss here would effectively knock them out of the playoff race. Their batting lineup has struggled with consistency, and the bowlers have often failed to defend competitive totals. 

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

DD and TGC have had some fierce battles over the years, with DD historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at NPR College Ground, TGC 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

TGC 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. NPR College Ground, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest!

DD vs TGC Match Pitch Report:     

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.
