IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) will battle against Dindigul Dragons (DD) in the 20th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem on Wednesday (June 28). ITT emerged victorious in their previous encounter against Ba11sy Trichy (BT), whereas DD suffered a defeat at the hands of Lyca Kovai Kings in their last clash.
Sai Kishore (50) and Balchander Anirudh (51) shined for ITT in their win over BT. Among bowlers, P Bhuvaneswaran bagged four wickets for his team in the second innings. On the other hand, despite Shivam Singh‘s resilient 61 off 42 deliveries, DD fell 59 runs short of LKK’s target and eventually lost the contest. Saravana Kumar claimed two scalps for DD in the first innings.
DD are currently placed at the third position in TNPL 2023 points table and will look to sail into the top by registering a win against ITT. Meanwhile, ITT sits at the sixth position and will aim to carry the momentum from the last fixture.
