TNPL 2025: Chepauk Super Gillies Look to Extend Unbeaten Run Against Struggling Trichy Grand Cholas
High-flying Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) will look to continue their dominant form in TNPL 2025 as they take on Trichy Grand Cholas (TRI) in Match 21 at the Indian Cement Company Ground on Sunday evening.
Led by the in-form Baba Aparajith, Chepauk enter the match unbeaten with five consecutive wins and sit comfortably at the top of the points table. Aparajith, who has already scored 232 runs at an average of 116, has been the cornerstone of their batting, while K Aashiq’s explosive starts have added firepower at the top.
On the other side, Trichy Grand Cholas are reeling with just one win from four matches, currently placed second-last in the standings. Their captain R Rajkumar has been a rare positive, scoring 147 runs at a strike rate of over 200, but the team has struggled for consistency with both bat and ball.
Conditions & Team Dynamics
The pitch at Tirunelveli is expected to favor batters early, with spin playing a key role in the second innings. Teams batting first have had a slight edge under lights this season, and both captains will be mindful of that when the toss takes place.
What to Watch
- Baba Aparajith’s consistency and leadership
- R Rajkumar’s power-hitting and ability to anchor
- Spin battle: M Silambarasan vs Washington Sundar
Points Table Impact
A win today will virtually seal Chepauk’s place in the playoffs, while a loss for Trichy could all but end their postseason hopes. For Trichy, every match is a must-win from here.
