Gujarat Giants lost their first match versus table toppers Manipal Tigers, but have done well to remain in the competition completing consecutive forms.
Southern Superstars have had a shaky tournament so far; their solitary win came against Manipal Tigers, but they went down to India Capitals and Urbanrisers Hyderabad, and their encounter with Bhilwara Kings was abandoned. As a result, they’re now tied on points with teams placed #4 and #6, but have one match still to go.
Coming up against a batting outfit like the Giants, Superstars bowlers should make sure they not only put the lid on the run rate but also keep chipping away with the wickets so that the men from Gujarat don’t run away with the game. Will they finish the league stage with a win and make it to the top 4?

Chris Gayle, the big Jamaican and Universe Boss, South Africans Richard Levi and Jack Kallis form the fulcrum of the batting attack for Gujarat Giants. We all know what they are capable of achieving if they get a good start and are able to work through the gears.
With close to 280 runs between them, the Gujarat Giants team will be turning to these men to get the team another electrifying start. Richard Levi, in particular, was at its destructive best last game when he scored 48 runs in 18 balls.
Their lower order batsmen hasn’t performed well so far, with talented Delhi based all-rounder Rajat Bhatia scoring the odd 39* in one of the three innings and Kevin O Brien struggling to find some rhythm with the bat. They’ve to be on guard and take the attack to the opposition, should the dangerous batting trio up top fail to fire.
On the bowling front, Sreesanth held his nerve in their match against Urbanrisers to deny them a last over victory, and Rajat Bhatia has been chipping away with the wickets while going at 8.75 RPO, but they need better performances from the leggie Sarabjit Ladda so they can attack as a group and keep the opposition from scoring quick runs.

No one from this team except Chaturanga de Silva has gone on to make a 50+ score in an innings, which clearly shows their batting unit is struggling to get off the blocks. Big-hitting kiwi and captain Ross Taylor needs to come to the fore and play a huge part if his team needs to finish the tournament on a high. Pawan Negi coming down the order and he can give the ball a real good thwacking, but there’s hardly anyone who can dictate and finish games for the Southern Superstars.
They’re not a team packed with superstars so each of them has to come to the party and chip in with runs and wickets if they are to have a chance of winning this tough encounter against Gujarat Giants who’re on a bit of a roll and comfortably placed at #3 on the points table. Abdur Razzak, the Bangladeshi bowler, is in a rich vein of form and has picked up 6 wickets in 4 games with a wonderful economy of 5.81.
The Afghani pacer Hamid Hassan and bowling allrounder Pawan Negi have also been amongst the wickets with 4 and 3 scalps, respectively.

The conditions are going to be great to bat but we've to see whether it'll be an equal contest between bat and ball. Dew may roll in, making it harder for bowlers to grip the ball and bowl to their plans

High TurnThe match is getting underway in a few hours time at the at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam, on Sunday, December 3. It's a high scoring ground with the par score anywhere around 160-165 and the boundaries are not very huge here, so expect a lot of fireworks from the batsmen this afternoon.
Gujarat Giants, if they win toss and bat first, will be hard to contain. Given batting is their strong suit, Gujarat Giants will look to bat first making the most of a fresh pitch and the conditions. Their bowlers have to come to the party later on to restrict the Superstars for much less.
Having won a few matches back to back, Gujarat Giants' batters are likely to play better cricket in today's game and defeat Superstars despite their bowling being a concern for them. Their batsmen will fancy having a hit out here in these conditions and if one of their destructive batsmen gets going, it's going to be a long chase for the Superstars.
