The 14th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 is set to witness a high-voltage clash between Dindigul Dragons (DD) and Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) on 16th June 2025 at the SCF Cricket Playground in Salem. With both teams showcasing impressive performances so far, fans can expect an enthralling contest as the tournament approaches its crucial phase.
Dindigul Dragons have made a solid start to their TNPL 2025 campaign. After playing three matches, they have secured two wins and find themselves in the third position on the points table with four points. The team has shown great balance in both batting and bowling departments, led by the experience of Ravichandran Ashwin.
On the other hand, Chepauk Super Gillies have been outstanding this season. With three consecutive victories, they sit comfortably at the top of the standings. The team looks well-rounded with strong contributions coming from both senior players and youngsters. Their consistency gives them a slight edge going into this contest, but Dindigul Dragons’ strong squad ensures that it won't be an easy battle.
The surface at Salem's SCF Cricket Playground provides a fair game of bat and ball. While it allows for decent scoring opportunities, it is not as batting-friendly as many other Indian grounds. The surface tends to offer some grip for spinners, particularly in the middle overs, which can slow down scoring and create wicket-taking opportunities.

While there might be some delays if rain occurs earlier in the day, the match is expected to proceed as scheduled in the evening unless there’s a significant weather disturbance.
