DD vs TGS: Pitch Report
NPR College Ground is traditionally an excellent venue if you are a batter. Historically, the average score in the first innings is around 160 in TNPL. It is a batting-friendly venue but tends to move slowly. Slow bowlers might be more effective because of the slowness of the pitch. However, dew can play its part in making it difficult for bowlers.

Dream11 Prediction: It is expected to be a thrilling contest between two good sides. It is a high-pressure game, and nerves will be very high. The Super Cholas beat the Dragons a few days back, but it didn't mean that they could do it again. Both sides have different strengths. The Super Cholas have a strong batting group.
They will fancy their chances to chase. But Dindigul Dragons have covered all the bases, and they have some big names featuring in their bowling unit. Then their batting is also pretty good. That is why the current odds are in favor of the Dragons.
