TNPL 2025: ITT vs DD – 5th Match Preview, June 8 | Can ITT Secure Their First Win?

The Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 heats up as IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) lock horns with Dindigul Dragons (DD) in the 5th match of the season, scheduled for June 8 at 7:15 PM IST at the SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore.

After a tough start to the tournament, ITT are still searching for their first win. With the pressure mounting, this clash against the confident Dindigul Dragons is a must-win for the Tamizhans if they want to stay in the race for the playoffs. The Dindigul Dragons, on the other hand, come into the match with momentum and are looking to build on their early success. With a balanced squad featuring hard-hitting batters and reliable bowlers, DD will be aiming to dominate and add another win to their campaign.

For ITT, this match is all about finding rhythm. Their top order needs to step up, and their bowlers must deliver under pressure to keep DD in check. A win here could be the turning point they need in the tournament.

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

ITT and DGG have had some fierce battles over the years, with DD historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at SNR College Cricket Ground, DD will have the home advantage, and their Bowling attack of Sandeep Warrier and Ravichandran Ashwin could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup, led by Shivam Singh, Vimal Khumar, Hunny Saini and Baba Indrajith 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 DD’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 TNPL 2025 upcoming match:

Total Matches Played: 5

ITT Wins: 0

DD Wins: 5

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0

Despite DD having the firepower of Shivam Singh, Vimal Khumar, Hunny Saini and Baba Indrajith, 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 TNPL clashes.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, DD might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Shivam Singh, Vimal Khumar, Hunny Saini and Baba Indrajith, 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 DD 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.
