Dindigul Dragons Team News & Playing 11
DD Team News
Although there had been some doubt over whether Ravichandran Ashwin would be ready to play in the opening match for the Dragons, he produced an excellent bowling performance whilst captaining the team. He will lead the side once more and there are no reported injuries for the Dragons to contend with.
DD Key Players
- Shivam Singh- with a relatively small target of 121 for win, the right-hander made the chase far easier for his team-mates after hitting nine boundaries in this innings.
- Ravichandran Ashwin- the skipper is one of the toughest spinners to face at the highest level. He took 2-26 and bowled a maiden in the opening match and will be a real challenge to face in this game.
- Varun Chakravarthy- the spinner was the sixth bowler to be used by Dindigul Dragons in their first game but he picked up two wickets with the first two balls of his second over.
DD Team Form
Although it was a big and convincing win for Dindigul Dragons against Trichy in their first match of TNPL 2023, they will want to be more ruthless in this match and have the talent to do so.

Madurai Panthers Team News & Playing 11
SMP Team News
There will certainly be calls for changes to the Siechem Madurai Panthers XI ahead of this game after they were beaten with over 6 overs remaining by Nellai Royal Kings. However, it is expected that all if not the majority of the same players will be selected in this match.
SMP Key Players
- Hari Nishaanth- the captain hit three sixes and four fours in his impressive innings against the Kings. This may be a slightly harder wicket to bat on than Coimbatore but he has the talent to do well again.
- Balu Surya- the experienced off-spinner picked up a wicket on his debut for Siechem Madurai Panthers in the first game. He should get some more turn in this match.
- Washington Sundar- the Indian international opened the bowling in the last game and we expect him to be used as more of an attacking bowler in this fixture.
SMP Team Form
Siechem Madurai Panthers struggled with the bat in the first innings of their defeat to Nellai Royal Kings and did not have the ability with the ball to get themselves back into the game.
Madurai Panthers Predicted Playing 11
S Karthik (wk), Hari Nishaanth (c), K Deeban Lingesh, Washington Sundar, Jagatheesan Kousik, Swapnil Singh, D Sudhan, Murugan Ashwin, Dev Rahul, Gurjapneet Singh, Balu Surya
