The Dindigul Dragons (DD) will lock horns with Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) in the 8th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on Sunday (June 18). While DD emerged victorious in their last game against Ba11sy Trichy (BT), SMP suffered a defeat at the hands of Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) in their previous game.

Shivam Singh was the standout performer for the Dindigul-based team and played a significant role in helping his team register a win against BT. The DD opener contributed valuable 46 runs off 30 deliveries in the run chase. Among bowlers, Varun Chakaravarthy bagged three wickets for Dindigul in the first innings. Meanwhile, despite Hari Nishanth’s brilliant knock of 64 runs, SMP bowlers failed to defend the set target and eventually lost to NRK by six wickets.

DD will look to continue the momentum from their opening game when they meet the Madurai-based team on Sunday night, whereas SMP will seek their maiden win in the TNPL 2023 when they take the field against Dindigul.

Pitch report:

This ground features a flat playing surface that benefits batters due to its limited bounce and speed. The outfield is rapid, and the ball reaches the boundary quickly. However, spin bowlers may discover some support from the pitch. The average score of approximately 190 runs has been deemed typical for NPR College Ground.
