- A total in the range of 170 to 180 should give the batting side a solid chance of defending the score.
- Shivam Singh is Dindigulβs main batter this season and has only been dismissed once in three innings.

DID vs CSG Match Prediction & Analysis
Match 14 of 2025 TNPL sees Dindigul Dragons take on Chepauk Super Gillies this Monday evening in Salem. The Dragons have looked pretty solid so far and are in third place currently with four points from three matches. Chepauk, though, have been outstanding, with three wins out of three, which has taken them to the top of the table. Current form makes Chepauk favorites for this clash, but the Dragons are formidable opponents, which means we are in for a cracker of a contest.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Dindigul Dragons Preview
Defending champions Dindigul Dragons have had a strong start to the season, winning two matches and losing just one so far. After a heavy defeat to IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in their second game, they bounced back sharply in their next to take down Siechem Madurai Panthers by 9 wickets.
Shivam Singh has been Dindigulβs go-to batter this season, smashing 198 runs in just three innings at a strike rate of 168. Heβs fresh off an unbeaten 86 off 41 to help the team chase down a target of 151 against Tiruppur in just 12.1 overs.
Vimal Khumar and captain Ravichandran Ashwin can offer valuable contributions at the top, giving the innings early direction. Ashwin showed his prowess in the previous match with his knock of 49 off 29.
Baba Indrajith hasnβt had much to do so far, but he is another batter worth keeping an eye on. He was the second-highest scorer for Dindigul last season, amassing 286 runs in 10 innings with an average of 41 and a strike rate of 133.
The bowling unit is Dindigulβs main strength. Sandeep Warrier and Ganeshan Periyaswamy have been excellent, snaring eight wickets between them. DT Chandrasekar and Varun Chakaravarthy havenβt taken many wickets, but they have kept things tight during the middle overs, which eventually helps them restrict the opposition to a below-par score.
Chepauk Super Gillies Preview
Chepauk Super Gillies have been unstoppable this season, winning three games on the bounce to take the top spot on the table. Their latest match saw them defeat Lyca Kovai Kings by 8 wickets by chasing down a target of 145 with ease in 15.1 overs.
Captain Baba Aparajith has been the main man of this batting unit, accumulating 166 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 161.16.
K Aashiq has been resourceful as well, smashing 91 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 142. 18.
This is a solid batting unit, which also features N Jagadeesan, their top scorer last season with 245 runs across eight innings, along with Vijay Shankar. Jagadeesan hasnβt hit his stride yet, but a big knock is just around the corner, we reckon.
In the bowling department, Abhishek Tanwar has been the wrecker-in-chief, taking nine wickets at an economy of just 6.17. Shankar, M Silambarasan, and J Prem Kumar have also stepped up by chipping in with some key wickets every game.
Weather Conditions
The surface at the SCF Cricket Ground plays fair, with something in it for both batters and bowlers. Batters who spend some time on the wicket will be rewarded. Fast bowlers will find some movement under lights, but will also need to rely on cutters and slower ones. Once the ball gets older, spinners will have a prominent role to play.
Mondayβs forecast in Salem points to cloudy skies and a bit of rain in the afternoon, which could interrupt play.
DID vs CSG Pitch Report
At SCF Cricket Ground, teams batting first average around 153. The top score at this venue last season came from Trichy Grand Cholas, who made 193 for 2 against Siechem Madurai Panthers. In the TNPL 2025, barring the first game, the average total here has been around the 150-mark. So, a total in the range of 170 to 180 while batting first should give either side a reasonable cushion.
Toss: To Bowl
All three matches at the SCF Cricket Ground in TNPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side. So the trend is clear β win the toss and field first to have the best shot at winning.
