Match Prediction

IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans are the form side and have never lost to this opponent in TNPL history, which is a difficult combination for Trichy Grand Cholas to overcome. Tiruppur’s chasing has been the story of their season, and a ground that rewards bowling first plays right into their hands. Trichy have Washington Sundar and enough all round depth to make a game of it, and they’ll take heart from beating Nellai Royal Kings comfortably last time out. Tiruppur get the clear nod, though rain could disrupt how this one unfolds.
