Dindigul Dragons have a big challenge on their hands as they take on the Chepauk Super Gillies in the 21st game of the Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2022. It was a poor show with the bat by the Dragons in their last games as they lost by 7 wickets against the Madurai Panthers. The Super Gillies on the other hand won comfortably against the Lyca Kovai Kings in the last game.
