The Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 has start on June 5 with a contest between Lyca Kovai Kings and Dindigul Dragons at the SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore. In the second match of the league, Chepauk Super Gillies and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans will compete at the SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore, on Friday, June 6.

Both teams will be looking to win a title in the TNPL 2025 after making it to the Playoffs in the last season, only to not qualify for the final. While Chepauk lost by four wickets to the eventual champions, Dindigul Dragons, in the Eliminator, Tiruppur lost to the same team in Qualifier 2 by nine wickets in a low-scoring game.

CSG and ITT faced each other in the TNPL 2024 once. In a match which witnessed a good fight between bat and ball, Chepauk claimed a win by 15 runs after posting 157 runs on the board. In the process, they extended their good record over Tiruppur and claimed their sixth win against them.

Both teams have some of the most talented players in the country playing for them. While Chepauk has players like Narayan Jagadeesan, Swapnil Singh, Baba Aparajith, Vijay Shankar, and Abhishek Tanwar, Tiruppur has T Natarjan, Daryl Ferrario, R Sai Kishore, Tushar Raheja, and Mohamed Ali. One can expect a good match between the two sides.

Match Details

SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore Pitch Report

The wicket is expected to be slow. The batters will find it challenging to score a lot of runs. Spinners and pacers who use slower ones and variations like cutters could be key to the success of their teams.

Batters must make the most of the Powerplay overs, as scoring runs will be difficult with the progression of the innings. The key for the batters would be to make use of field restrictions and dry ball. In the middle overs, strike rotation will be key. Pacers must try to put pressure on the batters by making the most of the slower conditions.

CSG vs ITT Head-to-Head Record

CSG and ITT have faced each other eight times in the history of the league. In as many games, Chepauk has a huge advantage, as they have six wins and lost only one of their games, with the other ending without a result. Tiruppur has a great chance to improve its Head-to-Head record against the Super Gillies.

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Vijay Shankar could be the best batter of the match, as the wicket could be slow in nature. Batters with experience at the highest level and exposure to top players in the world could do well. While Shankar did not do well for CSK in the IPL 2025, he would love to prove his worth by performing in the TNPL.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

R Sai Kishore could be the best bowler of the match, as the surface is tailor-made for him to succeed. The left-arm spinner can now turn the ball in different ways with an arm ball, which makes him a tough bowler to face. Kishore can also claim wickets and run through the batting lineup with his newly added variation.
