Dindigul Dragons – Team Preview
The defending champions enter this match with mixed form, finishing the group stage with 4 wins from 7 matches. Shivam Singh has been a revelation, amassing 284 runs and holding the batting unit together. Ashwin’s presence at the top adds experience and stability, while Baba Indrajith and Hunny Saini need to step up in the middle order.
Their bowling unit is versatile—Sandeep Warrier and Periyaswamy form a solid new-ball pair, while Ashwin and Varun Chakaravarthy apply the brakes during the middle overs. This combination gives them a slight edge.
Trichy Grand Cholas – Team Preview
After a disastrous start with three losses, the Cholas found momentum and defeated Dindigul in their final group match. R Rajkumar, with 200 runs and a strike rate of 206, has been the batting lynchpin, while Sanjay Yadav and Jagatheesan Kousik provide stability and acceleration in the middle overs.
Bowling has largely revolved around V Athisayaraj Davidson, who leads with 11 wickets. Saravana Kumar and K Easwaran add decent support, but lack of depth in bowling beyond the top three remains a concern.
