Dindigul Dragons skipper Hari Nishanth won the toss and opted to bowl first. The IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans got off to a steady start, scoring 42 at the end of the powerplay. They lost their way a bit in the middle overs as their batters got starts but failed to score big.

S Aravind top-scored with 32 to guide his team to 145/8. M Silambarasan picked up three wickets and was well-supported by Rangaraj Suthesh and Nishanth, who chipped in with a couple of scalps each.

Dindigul Dragons completed a comprehensive victory over the IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. The Tamizhans’ batters never got going as they got starts but failed to build partnerships. As a result, they could only manage to score 145, which they failed to defend.

The Dragons have got back to winning ways after suffering a loss in their last game against the Nellai Royal Kings. Their openers K Vishal Vaidhya and Hari Nishanth are in great touch. They are contributing heavily with the bat at the top of the order and are playing a key role for them in this year’s competition.

The Dragons have got the right combination and will look to keep performing in a similar fashion in their upcoming games. The Tamizhans, meanwhile, will have to be at their absolute best to bounce back after suffering their first loss of TNPL 2022.
