DD vs SMP Match Preview

The teams in Sunday evening’s Tamil Nadu Premier League match at the NPR College Cricket Ground are Dindigul Dragons and Siechem Madurai Panthers. The Dragons began their season with a six-wicket victory over Trichy. On Wednesday, the Panthers were defeated by Nellai Royal Kings by 6 wickets. In their first match, Dindigul Dragons were far too accurate and had far too much ball control for Trichy. They appear to be one of the tournament’s top teams. The Siechem Madurai Panthers struggled in their first game due to a lack of significant contributions from their players, and they will face a similar challenge against the talented Dindigul Dragons in this match.

Topmost Picks for DD vs SMP Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Dindigul Dragons

• 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.
• 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.

Top Picks – Madurai Panthers

• 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.
• 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.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for DD vs SMP Dream11 Team:

Baba Indrajith, Shivam Singh, Hari Nishaanth(VC), Akshay Srinivasan, S Arun, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Advaith Sharma, Dev Rahul, Varun Chakravarthy(C), Murugan Ashwin

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for DD vs SMP Dream11 Team:

Baba Indrajith, Shivam Singh, Hari Nishaanth, Akshay Srinivasan, S Arun, Washington Sundar(VC), Ravichandran Ashwin(C), Advaith Sharma, Dev Rahul, Varun Chakravarthy, Murugan Ashwin

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Ravichandran Ashwin, Varun Chakravarthy

Vice-captain – Hari Nishaanth, T Natarajan

Wicketkeeper – Baba Indrajith

DD vs SMP Probable Winners:

If Siechem Madurai Panthers are to trouble Dindigul Dragons, they must play to a much higher standard than they did in their opener. Overall, the Dragons appear to have the most talent from the first round of fixtures, and we expect them to win again in this match. Considering the team combination, Dindigul Dragons is expected to win this match.
