Dindigul Dragons, the reigning, defending champions, will be in action in the final league fixture of the season at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul against the Trichy Grand Cholas in match 28 of the competition.
After securing a win over Nellai Royal Kings in their previous fixture, the Dindigul Dragons have almost finalized a spot among the top 4 in the competition. With 4 wins from 6 matches, Dragons hold the third position currently and have a genuine chance of making it to the final two if they win this game and hope iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans lose their final league game against the Nellai Royal Kings.
Trichy Grand Cholas, on the other hand, have seemingly missed the playoff berth. With only two wins from 6 matches, Cholas are currently placed 5th on the table. A win here will take them to 6 points and the fourth spot, where the Salem Spartans are currently sitting. However, if Salem loses their last league game against the bottom-placed Lyca Kovai Kings, Trichy can pip them to finalize the fourth spot and move into the playoffs.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the DD vs TGC Dream11 prediction.

However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to settle down, allowing batters to play their strokes more freely. The average first innings score hovers around 158, indicating that teams can post competitive totals if they build partnerships. Spinners also come into play during the middle overs, with the surface offering some grip and turn.
