The T20 thrills are touching the sky as the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 is just one step away from the finals. Ahead of that, Chepauk Super Gillies and Dindigul Dragons are set to lock horns in Qualifier 2 on July 4. As both sides are determined to secure a place in the final showdown, the NPR College Ground is all set to host the clash live from 7:15 PM (IST).

Chepauk Super Gillies

In Qualifier 1 of the TNPL 2025, the Chepauk Super Gillies faced a tough night against the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, crashing to a heavy 79-run defeat. Bowling first, only Lokesh Raj and Vijay Shankar managed to make a dent, while the rest of the bowling attack failed to make a mark.

While chasing the 203-run target, their struggle continued. Apart from Mokit Harihar’s 25 and captain Baba Aparajith’s quickfire 30 in 13 balls, the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under pressure. As they failed to fight back, they failed to secure the final berth on first attempt.

Dindigul Dragons

Facing the Trichy Grand Cholas in the Eliminator clash, the Dindigul Dragons showcased their domination. While bowling first, captain Ravichandran Ashwin led the way from the front with 3 crucial scalps. Along with that, Varun Chakravarthy and Ganeshan Periyaswamy’s dominance restricted the opponent to just 140 runs.

After creating magic with the ball, Ashwin held his head high and played an incredible knock of 83 runs in 48 balls with a whopping strike rate of 172.92. Adding to that, Baba Indrajith remained unbeaten 27 runs and secured a 6-wicket victory.

How Will The NPR College Ground Pitch Behave?

The NPR College Ground in Dindigul offers a fair challenge for both batters and bowlers. In the beginning, pacers can look forward to some movement and swing with the new ball. But as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, which gives spin bowlers a chance to take charge. For seamers, it’s crucial to mix up their variations and change their pace in the later overs to keep being effective.
