Chepauk Super Gillies won by 58 runs
129/7 in 20.0
Chepauk Super Gillies are flying this season with five wins in a row, putting them at the top of the standings. In their latest match, they eased past Salem Spartans by six wickets, chasing 161 in just 16.3 overs.
A lot of Chepauk’s success has been because of their solid batting unit. Captain Baba Aparajith has been the most dependable, scoring 232 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 153.64. His presence in the middle order has helped them control the innings, and he is expected to anchor the batting again.
Vijay Shankar has chipped in during the middle overs, adding 150 runs in five games while scoring at a brisk rate of 174.
The batting looks in a good place with N Jagadeesan starting to find rhythm and K Aashiq also passing the 150-run mark this season.
Abhishek Tanwar has led the attack with the ball, picking up 12 wickets and keeping the runs down with an economy of 7.83. Vijay Shankar, M Silambarasan, and J Prem Kumar have each made an impact by taking wickets at important moments.
Lokesh Raj has proven to be an X-factor, as he showed in the game against Dindigul, where he took 5 for 13 in just two overs and swung the match in Chepauk's favor.
Baba Aparajith Score Over 31.5 1.83
Baba Aparajith has scored 232 runs in 5 innings, averaging 116. He is in good form at the moment and is the key batter for the Chepauk Super Gillies. We back him to come in this fixture and score over 31 runs to kick start the Tirunelveli leg.

After losing their first three games of the season, Trichy Grand Cholas finally got off the mark in TNPL 2025 with a 14-run win over Lyca Kovai Kings, defending a target of 169. That said, Trichy are still stuck in seventh and with only three games left in the group stage, they’ll need something big from here to sneak into the semis.
R Rajkumar has been one of the few bright spots with the bat, leading their scoring charts with 147 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 217.
Sanjay Yadav and Waseem Ahmed have offered glimpses of form in the middle order but haven’t put together enough to make a real impact. Jayaraman Suresh Kumar, Sujay Sivasankaran, and Jagatheesan Kousik have struggled at the top, which explains the underwhelming run so far.
With the ball, V Athisayaraj Davidson has done the most damage, taking six wickets in four matches while conceding at 8.62. K Easwaran and U Mukilesh have done their part with four wickets each. Past that, there hasn’t been much help from the rest of the bowling unit.
Sujay Sivasankaran, Jayaraman Suresh Kumar (c & wk), Waseem Ahmed, Jagatheesan Kousik, Sanjay Yadav, U Mukilesh, R Rajkumar, P Saravana Kumar, M Ganesh Moorthi, V Athisayaraj Davidson, Jafar Jamal, K Easwaran Impact Player: Jafar Jamal/ T Saran

The Indian Cement Company Ground can be tricky for batters as it can be a little two-paced at times. As the ball wears down, the surface tends to hold a bit, making it more helpful for spinners later in the evening. Those who are patient early often find scoring easier once they settle in. For seamers, striking a balance between discipline and experimentation will yield good results.
In Tirunelveli, the forecast for Monday shows cloudy conditions with a gentle breeze, but the game is expected to run without any rain delay.
Teams batting first at the Indian Cement Company Ground usually average around 157. The highest total at this venue last season was Chepauk Super Gillies’ 198 for 4 against Trichy Grand Cholas. But such high totals are an aberration here. A score between 170 and 180 in the first innings can put enough pressure on the chasing side, given the way this pitch tends to play.
In TNPL 2025, chasing has been the safer option, and that pattern is likely to stay the same at the Indian Cement Company Ground, which means the captain who wins the toss will probably opt to bowl first.
Chepauk Super Gillies are the only undefeated side in TNPL 2025, and they will look to build on that momentum as the tournament enters its final lap. Trichy Grand Cholas, meanwhile, have had a poor run so far, but perhaps that win in their last match will push them to turn things around. Given Chepauk’s spectacular form and confidence, though, it’s hard to look past them as the winners of the match.
Chepauk Super Gillies are our picks for the winners of the match.
