That one over changed the whole complexion of the run chase. Rohith Suthar conceded 34 runs in the 17th over of the second innings. Dindigul Dragons' (DD) batter Vimal Khumar smacked 5 sixes and a boundary in the over—34 runs in total—and took the run chase to another level. After the end of over 16, DD was on 127 for 4; from there, after the next over, the scoreboard showed 161/4, a huge jump in the run chase for the second batting side. During the over, Khumar also completed his half century. The batter made sure of a win from tonight's game, bowling out before hitting the winning runs. Khumar went back to the hut after a destructive 30-ball, 65-run innings. 

Dragons into the final:

Dindigul Dragons won the match by 4 wickets against Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG). It was CSG's first defeat in the ongoing TNPL 2025. Before game 31, they were unbeaten and were one of the favorites to make a spot in the final match. But under pressure, Vimal delivered and placed his team in the final, where they will face Tiruppur Tamizhans. 

Toss and the first innings:

Ravichandran Ashwin led the Dindigul Dragons to choose to bowl first after winning the toss. The skipper himself played a big part with the ball and the bat. Ashwin took the wicket of dangerous Narayan Jagadeesan, who scored an important 81-run innings to help his team register a fightable total of 178 in the first innings. CSG skipper Baba Aparajith's 67 was second best for the team.

Second innings:

DD started the innings in a watchful manner. Instead of making decisions in a hurry, they chose to take some time before shifting the gears. Baba Indrajith played a useful 42-run innings off 31 balls. When Khumar came to bat, the foundation was already there to make a successful launch, and he exactly did that, launching the ball back-to-back over the boundary ropes. Suthar was the impact player for CSG, who offered the match-turning 34-run over.

CSG vs DD Probable Winners:

Chepauk Super Gillies and Dindigul Dragons have each looked like major risks this season, with the potential to defeat anyone on their day. However, based on how things are shaping up right now, Dindigul has the advantage going into this Qualifier. They were the winners last year, and their bowling unit performed well in the majority of games. This contest could be close, but if Dindigul's bowlers can regain their rhythm, as they have for most of the tournament, they will have the advantage. Considering the team combination, Chepauk Super Gillies is expected to win this match.
