BWAK vs GUGS Match Prediction & Analysis

The Bhilwara Kings will look for their second win in the Legends League Cricket 2023 as they take on the Gujarat Giants in the fourth game. They defeated the India Capitals convincingly in a high-scoring contest. The Gujarat Giants went down in their last match against the Manipal Tigers, and they will look for a good show here.  

Gujarat Giants' middle and lower middle order failed in the previous game, which is a worry for the side. They will have to bounce back strongly in this game to keep their hopes alive for the rest of the season. The Bhilwara Kings have a good start, and they will look to build on it in this game.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bhilwara Kings Preview

Irfan Pathan's side made an electrifying start to the tournament with a 3-wicket win against the India Capitals. The skipper led from the front with a brilliant knock as the side chased down a target of 229 runs with four balls to spare. Having gained the momentum, Irfan would be eying his side's second win in this tournament.  

Solomon Mire played a good knock in the last game and will look to deliver a positive start with Lendl Simmons. The middle order has good hitters, and the side will expect runs from Tillakaratne Dilshan, Robin Bist, and Yusuf Pathan. Ifran Pathan played a swashbuckling knock in the last game, and he will look to do well down the order with Christopher Barnwell and Jesal Karia.  

The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game, and the team will need good performances from Anureet Singh and Tim Murtagh with the new ball. Barnwell and Jesal Karia must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. They will also need good performances from Iqbal Abdulla, Rahul Sharma, and Irfan Pathan. 

Bhilwara Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Irfan Pathan (c), Lendl Simmons, Yusuf Pathan, Christopher Barnwell, Solomon Mire, Tillakaratne Dilshan (wk), Robin Bist, Iqbal Abdulla, Anureet Singh, Rahul Sharma, Jesal Karia, Tim Murtagh (Impact Player)

Bhilwara Kings Actual Playing XI:

Lendl Simmons, Yusuf Pathan, Chris Barnwell, Jesal Karia, Solomon Mire, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Irfan Pathan, Pinal Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Anureet Singh, Rahul Sharma, Robin Bist

Gujarat Greats Preview

Parthiv Patel's side went down by 10 runs in their opening game against the Manipal Tigers. The Gujarat Titans' skipper would be upset with the loss as they had the match in the bag with less than 100 to get in 14 overs after losing the first wicket. They have good players in the squad, and Patel would look to bounce back.  

 Jacques Kallis and Chris Gayle looked in good form in the previous game and will look to deliver a good start. The side will expect runs in the middle order from Richard Levi, Kevin O'Brien, and Patel. Rajat Bhatia, Trent Johnston, and Chirag Khurana must deliver the goods in the ing role.  

Rayad Emrit and Trent Johnston will trouble the Bhilwara Kings' top order, which can get the side off to a good start. Ishwar Chaudhary did well in the previous game and will look to keep a check on the scoring rate with Bhatia and Sulieman Benn. Sarabjit Ladda and Rayad Emrit add depth to the attack.

Gujarat Greats Predicted Playing XI:

Parthiv Patel (c & wk), Richard Levi, Kevin O Brien, Jacques Kallis, Chirag Khurana, Trent Johnston, Rajat Bhatia, Rayad Emrit, Sarabjit Ladda, Ishwar Chaudhary, Sulieman Benn, Chris Gayle (Impact Player)

Gujarat Greats Actual Playing XI:

Chris Gayle, Richard Levi, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, Kevin O'Brien, Chirag Khurana, Parthiv Patel, S Sreesanth, Sarabjit Ladda, Rayad Emrit, Jacques Kallis, Rajat Bhatia, Ishwar Chaudhary

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Ranchi will be clear. The wicket is flat, and batsmen can play their strokes freely. There would be assistance for the fast bowler under the cloudy skies. The side that bats first would have to target a score around the 180-run mark to win here.

BWAK vs GUGS Pitch Report

JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi, is a good venue for the batsmen as the surface here is flat and the outfield lightning fast, allowing batsmen to score runs freely. Fast bowlers do well when the conditions are right for them. Spinners get assistance from the surface and do well here.

Toss: To Bowl

It is an excellent venue to chase scores, as there is a bit of assistance for the bowlers at the start of the match. We have seen teams chase big scores at this venue. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss to opt for bowling first.
