Toss Winner - Dindigul Dragons won the toss and choose to bowl first
Chepauk Super Gillies beat Dindigul Dragons by 8 runs
SCF Cricket Ground tends to favor the chasing side, so a team batting first will need to post more than just a par score.

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.

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 Dindigul’s go-to batter this season, smashing 198 runs in just three innings at a strike rate of 168. He’s 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 hasn’t 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 Dindigul’s main strength. Sandeep Warrier and Ganeshan Periyaswamy have been excellent, snaring eight wickets between them. DT Chandrasekar and Varun Chakaravarthy haven’t 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.
Ravichandran Ashwin Total Runs Over 20.5 1.85
Ravichandran Ashwin has scores of 49, 18, and 15 runs in the three matches he has played this season. He has a pretty good record against the Chepauk Super Gillies, where he has scored a total of 236 runs in 7 matches, averaging 39.3. Given his current form, we back Ashwin to score over 20 runs in today's match.

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 hasn’t 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.
Baba Aparajith Total Runs Over 24.5 1.85
Baba Aparajith has scored 166 runs in 3 matches this season, averaging 166. He has only been dismissed once this season and has scored over 25 runs in all three matches. He has scored 301 runs in 8 matches at Salem and also 309 runs in 8 matches against the Dindigul Dragons, averaging 61.8.

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.
Monday’s forecast in Salem points to cloudy skies and a bit of rain in the afternoon, which could interrupt play.

Average Turn
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.
Dindigul Dragons to Win the Coin Toss 1.90
We back the home team Dindigul Dragons to win the coin toss in match 14 of TNPL 2025.
All three matches at the SCF Cricket Ground in TNPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side. So the trend is clear – win the toss and field first to have the best shot at winning.
Dindigul Dragons and Chepauk Super Gillies have both made a solid start to the tournament. That said, Chepauk look a step ahead with three wins in three matches. They’ve handled both chases and defenses well and look balanced across the board. Dindigul may be the defending champions, but they will need to keep Chepauk to a modest total to have a real shot. If they fall short on that front, Chepauk will be the favorites to take the game.
Back Chepauk Super Gillies as the winners of this match.
