DD vs BT Match Overview
Dindigul Dragons will face Ba11sy Trichy in Match 4 of the TNPL 2023 at SNR College Cricket Ground in Coimbatore.

Since there have been some changes in the squads, they would want to bounce back this year strongly.
Pitch Report
It is a used wicket now since three matches have already been played here. It is going to be a good contest between the bat and the ball. Teams may win the toss and elect to bat first.
DD vs BT Teams Analysis
Team Dindigul Dragons
They were in the 6th spot last year and poor performances put them in this position. Baba Indrajith may take the responsibility of leading the team. Though, he didn’t have a good last season and the earlier seasons like 2021 were superb where he scored 123 runs in 5 innings at an average of 61.5. He is expected to come back stronger this season.
Another batsman Vimal Khumar played just one match last year but he showed his batting skills and scored 43 runs. Adithya Ganesh impressed everyone last year and hit 103 runs in just 6 matches. In bowling, the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy who had a terrific season in IPL in 2023, has further strengthened the bowling unit and he can pick some crucial wickets in the middle overs.
Team Ba11sy Trichy
The situation of Trichy is equally worse than Dindigul. They finished 7th last year and with the inclusion of some new faces in the squad, they would want to revive themselves this year. Their experienced and most important batter Ganga Sridhar Raju may lead the team and he would expect to start the campaign with a win. He was brilliant last year with over 200 runs. Daryl Ferrario has been signed by Trichy. He generally bats in the middle order and the motive of his inclusion would be to make the middle order solid. He had a fine last season both with the bat and the ball.Â
K Easwaran has also joined Trichy and he would bolster the bowling attack of the team. T Natarajan is another well-known name and his death bowling experience will come into play at the back end of the innings.
