Dindigul Dragons will start as clear favourites in this match. They have already qualified for the playoffs and will look to finish strong. Their bowling unit has been very consistent with Ashwin, Chakaravarthy, Warrier and Periyaswamy all picking up wickets consistently. This experience gives them an edge, especially at their home ground.
On the other hand, Trichy have relied mostly on Athisayaraj Davidson with the ball. Others have not been able to provide regular breakthroughs. Against a lethal Dindigul batting lineup, this could hurt them.
With multiple match-winning bowlers in their lineup, Dindigul will be expected to control the game with the ball and keep Trichy under pressure throughout the innings.
