Dindigul Dragons vs Trichy Grand Cholas Prediction & Preview – TNPL 22nd Match

Tamil Nadu Premier League MA Chidambaram Stadium

Dindigul Dragons and Trichy Grand Cholas meet in the 22nd match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Dindigul arrive full of confidence after beating SKM Salem Spartans by 81 runs. Baba Indrajith made a rapid 73 off 25 balls, with VK Vineeth, Shivam Singh and Vimal Khumar also contributing, and M Viju Arul took three wickets. With bat and ball both in good order, they will aim to carry that momentum forward.

Trichy are looking to recover from a heavy 116-run loss to VIDA Kovai Kings, in which they were bowled out for 85 chasing 202. K Rajkumar’s 32 was the only notable score, and the bowlers struggled against a powerful batting side. Even so, Trichy have won three of their five matches this season and remain competitive.

They will need a much-improved batting display and tighter bowling to challenge an in-form opponent. On a slow, spin-friendly surface, smart use of variations should matter, and our preview expects a first-innings score of 155–170, with Dindigul Dragons the pick.

Pitch report

MA Chidambaram Stadium is a balanced but slightly slow surface that tends to favour spinners in the middle overs. Pacers can find some help with the new ball, and cutters and slower balls become effective as the pitch wears. Batters can score in the powerplay but may need to adjust later. A first-innings total of 160–175 is competitive, and dew in a night game could help the chasing side.

Expected scores

1st innings: 155–170
2nd innings: 145–165
