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.

DD vs SMP Probable Winners:

The Dindigul Dragons are one win away from the playoffs. They have done well in recent games, earning comprehensive victories and advancing to the playoffs. The Panthers, on the contrary hand, have underperformed all season. They only have one win so far and are still looking for their second. The Dragons appear to be on track to make the playoffs. Considering the team combination, Dindigul Dragons is expected to win this match.

Dindigul Dragons are on a roll with two wins. They come to their home ground now and with a balanced unit they are slowly peaking in the right way.

Match Prediction: Dindigul Dragons Will Win the match

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.
