We are all set for the big final of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025. The final promises to be a thrilling showdown as defending champions Dindigul Dragons lock horns with the in-form IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans at NPR College Ground, Dindigul. The Dragons, led by Ravichandran Ashwin, have clawed their way through the playoffs with gritty wins in the Eliminator and Qualifier 2. Vimal Khumar’s explosive 65 and Varun Chakaravarthy’s control have been pivotal in their surge.
On the other side, the iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans have been unstoppable, riding a six-match winning streak into the final. With Tushar Raheja and Amith Sathvik dominating the run charts and Sai Kishore leading a disciplined bowling attack, they’ve looked like a well-oiled unit. Their crushing 79-run win over Chepauk Super Gillies in Qualifier 1 stamped their authority.
With both teams all set for this big final, expect a high-octane clash filled with fireworks, tactical battles, and individual brilliance as TNPL 2025 reaches its grand finale.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the ITT vs DD Dream11 prediction.
Date: 6th July 2025 Time: 7:15 PM IST Venue: NPR College Ground, Dindigul
Matches Played: 5 DD won: 4 ITT won: 1 No Result: 0 Tied: 0
Dindigul Dragons and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans have faced off five times in TNPL history, and it’s been mostly one-way traffic. The Dragons have dominated the rivalry with four wins, while the Tamizhans have managed to get the better of them just once. That lone win came earlier this season, when Tiruppur outclassed the Dragons in style, cruising to a comfortable nine-wicket victory on June 8.
The pitch at NPR College Ground in Dindigul is expected to offer a balanced contest, with early assistance for batters and gradual support for spinners as the match progresses. The surface provides decent bounce and pace during the powerplay, allowing stroke-makers to capitalize on scoring opportunities. However, as the game wears on, the pitch tends to slow down, making it tougher for batters to play freely against spin. Teams batting first have generally fared better, with a first-innings average score hovering around 155. Chasing under lights can be tricky, especially if the pitch grips and turns. Overall, expect a surface that rewards smart batting early and disciplined spin bowling later in the innings.
