Dindigul Dragons (DD) are set to face Trichy Grand Cholas (TGC) in the Eliminator of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025, scheduled to take place at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on July 2.
The Ravichandran Ashwin-led team have had a solid campaign so far, winning four out of their seven matches. With a spot in Qualifier 2 at stake, they will be eager to put on a strong performance and move one step closer to the final.
Meanwhile, Trichy Grand Cholas secured their place in the playoffs by edging out other contenders on the basis of Net Run Rate (NRR), despite winning only three matches. They will be determined to carry that momentum forward and topple the Dindigul-based team to book a place in the next stage.
