The Tamil Nadu Premier League is back, and in the second match of the 2025 season, Chepauk Super Gillies and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans will go head-to-head at the SNR College Cricket Ground in Coimbatore on Friday, June 6.

Both sides had decent runs last season, making it to the playoffs, but ultimately fell short of reaching the final. Chepauk bowed out in the Eliminator after a narrow four-wicket loss to eventual champions Dindigul Dragons. Tiruppur also ran into the same hurdle — Dindigul ended their campaign in Qualifier 2 with a comfortable nine-wicket win in a low-scoring affair.

Looking at individual performances from last season, Tiruppur’s Tushar Raheja topped their run charts with 324 runs, while left-arm pacer T Natarajan led their bowling unit with 12 wickets. For Chepauk, it was Narayan Jagadeesan who delivered with the bat, scoring 245 runs, and Abhishek Tanwar led their bowling attack with 10 scalps.

When these two teams met in the 2024 edition, Chepauk got the better of Tiruppur in a solid all-round performance. After posting 157 on the board, they defended it well and won by 15 runs. That victory also marked Chepauk’s sixth win over Tiruppur in TNPL history — a head-to-head record they’d love to stretch further.

Head-to-Head: ITT vs CSG- Who Holds the Advantage?

ITT and SCG have had some fierce battles over the years, with SCG historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at SNR College Cricket Ground, SCG will have the home advantage, and their Bowling attack of Rajalingam G and Rohit Suthar could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup, led by N Jagadeesan(w), Baba Aparajith(c), Vijay Shankar, R Rajan, S Dinesh Raj, and Swapnil Singh looks solid. On the other hand, ITT boasts an explosive batting unit, featuring Tushar Raheja, Uthirasamy Sasidev, Pradosh Ranjan Paul(w), K Rajkumar, and Daryl. However, their biggest concern has always been their bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While R Sai kishore and T Natrajan add depth, they’ll need to handle ITT’s aggressive top order. Given ITT’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But SCG’s firepower makes them dangerous, and if their bowling holds up, an upset could be on the cards. Let’s break down their head-to-head record to see who holds the edge ahead of the IPL 2025 opener:

Total Matches Played: 8

ITT Wins: 1

SCG Wins: 6

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 1

Despite SCG having the firepower of N Jagadeesan(w), Baba Aparajith(c), Vijay Shankar, R Rajan, S Dinesh Raj, and Swapnil Singh, ITT’s all-around strength and explosive players like Tushar Raheja and Mohhamed Ali give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in IPL clashes.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, SCG might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by N Jagadeesan(w), Baba Aparajith(c), Vijay Shankar, R Rajan, S Dinesh Raj, and Swapnil Singh, but ITT’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Tushar Raheja and Mohhamed Ali make them a formidable opponent. SNR College Cricket Ground, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest!

ITT vs CSG Match Pitch Report:     

The SNR College Cricket Ground in Tamilndau offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first-innings score between 160-170 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 170-180 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 180+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
