Match number 25 of the TNPL 2025 season will see Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) square off against Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on June 28. Chepauk has enjoyed an exceptional run so far, going unbeaten in all six of their league games. A seventh consecutive win would not only preserve their flawless record but also solidify their playoff momentum.
On the flip side, Siechem Madurai Panthers are in a do-or-die situation. With just two wins from six outings, they must win this match to stand a chance of making it to the top four. Any slip-up here could see them exit the tournament early.
