In the Tamil Nadu Premier League, the matches are getting closer, fascinating and interesting. In fact, after a 400 run-fest at the Sunday, July 25 encounter between the Dindigul Dragons and Kovai Kings, a close encounter was witnessed between Tiruppur Tamizhans and Nellai Royal Kings in which the Tamizhans came out victorious, but only by three wickets.
Thus to increase the excitement more as the league progresses, Sunday’s chase masters Dragons would once again be in action, but this time around table-toppers Ruby Trichy Warriors. While the team from Dindigul are placed 5th on the points table with one win and one loss from their two games, the Warriors have been in great form too, winning two of their three games.
The head to head record favours the Dragons. In the previous four encounters, Dindigul Dragons have emerged victorious in three matches and the Warriors have only once tasted the victory against their upcoming opponent. Will the Warriors be able to slicken the difference in the head to head or will the Dragons stretch it ahead will be found out on Tuesday night, July 27.

The Chennai pitch has supported cricket phenomenally with both low and high scoring games being interesting. There is help for the spinners and early swing for the pace bowlers as well. And batsmen are being assisted equally well with the ball coming nicely onto the bat when they are settled in.
With more than 15% chances of rain throughout the game and a strong cloud cover presence, there would be some threats of not being able to see a full game. But a washout is not in the line hopefully. The humidity levels will remain more than 65%.
