SS vs TGC Dream11 Prediction Today (Match 7) TNPL 2025 Players to Avoid

M Ganesh Moorthi from TGC and ME Yazh Arun Mozhi from SS are two players you might consider avoiding for this match. Moorthi, a left-arm spinner, struggled in the previous game, going wicketless and leaking runs, and with the Coimbatore pitch offering more assistance to pacers (61% wickets by seamers), his effectiveness may be limited. Meanwhile, Yazh Arun Mozhi didn’t make any notable impact in Salem Spartans' last outing and may not get his full quota of overs, especially with other in-form bowlers in the squad.
