Gujarat Samp Army vs Dubai Giants, L90, Today Match Prediction

GSA vs DUBG Match Prediction & Analysis

Gujarat Samp Army are off to a winning start and will now take on a struggling Dubai Giants in their second game of the season. The Giants are having a hard time chasing totals and even after good starts from the top-order, they cannot avoid collapses.

The Samp Army will be confident coming into this game, especially after a brilliant outing with the ball. They will back themselves to put DG batters on the back foot early in the game.

All they need is a few early wickets of Richard Levi, Brendan Taylor, and Kevin O’Brien and the Gujarat Samp Army will be on top of the game.

Chandrapaul Hemraj, a left-handed opening batsman who represented West Indies, is the key batsman to watch out for in the Gujarat top order. For the Giants, bowling is another major concern considering how expensive they were in their last match.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Gujarat Samp Army Preview

It is a brilliant squad with many legendary cricketers. Not all of them were part of the XI in their opening game but those who made an appearance have already made a mark and will be crucial in this match too.

Skipper Thisara Perera was out for a golden duck and that is probably the only big disappointment for Gujarat Samp Army from their last match. Hemraj was exceptional with his 74 off 32 balls knock opening the innings for the side.

Hemraj and Shreevats Goswami, another star batter who’s represented India at the U19 World Cup and has played over 100 T20s, built a 68-run opening partnership from 39 balls to set the momentum for the run-chase.

Cameron Delport and Irfan Pathan didn’t make it to the XI. If they are available for this game, it would make a huge difference to the batting strength of this lineup.

In the bowling attack, Miguel Cummins and Chaturanga de Silva were among the top performers for the Samp Army. They have a lot of options in the squad including Kesrick Williams.

Saurin Thakkar and Subodh Bhatti are other key bowlers to watch out for in this lineup. There is great variety in this squad in both departments. The recent win will boost their confidence and Gujarat Samp Army will be aiming for a second straight win.

Gujarat Samp Army Predicted Playing XI:

Shreevats Goswami (wk), Chandrapaul Hemraj, Amitoze Singh, Prashant Gupta, Thisara Perera (c), Chirag Gandhi, Mausif Khan, Chaturanga de Silva, Saurin Thakar, Miguel Cummins, Subodh Bhatti

Gujarat Samp Army Actual Playing XI:

Chandrapaul Hemraj, Chaturanga de Silva, Miguel Cummins, Thisara Perera, Shreevats Goswami, Amitoze Singh, Cameron Delport, Saurin Thakar, Prashant Gupta, Chirag Gandhi, Suboth Bhati

Dubai Giants Preview

Dubai Giants have a big task at their hands. They need to stage a great comeback with both bat and ball. Their batting has failed for the second time in a row.

Despite a good start in the run chase against Chattisgarh Warriors, they could not stay in the game for long and were outplayed by the opposition.

The skipper looked in better touch this time around but couldn’t convert his good start into something more significant. Brendan Taylor and Kevin O’Brien are other key players in the top order who look promising at the moment.

Kithuruwan Vithanage is another crucial batsman in the middle order who can score quickly and build partnerships. However, overall, the Giants have failed to make an impact with the bat.

There are very few batters who could get them to a respectable total. They also lack depth in the batting order and now with the bowlers also going for runs, the Giants find themselves in a corner.

They need Luke Fletcher, Iqbal Abdulla, and Visas Tokas to bounce back and deliver crucial breakthroughs early in the game while maintaining a decent economy.

Dubai Giants Predicted Playing XI:

Richard Levi (c), Kevin O’Brien, Kithuruwan Vithanage, Brendan Taylor (wk), Luke Fletcher, Vikas Tokas, Iqbal Abdulla, Siddharth Trivedi, Ravi Balara, Deepansh Kumar, Udit Mohan

Dubai Giants Actual Playing XI:

KDK Vithanage, BRM Taylor, Kevin O'Brien, Richard Levi, Isuru Udana, Luke Fletcher, Siddharth Trivedi, Seekkuge Prasanna, Rahul Yadav, Iqbal Abdulla, Vikas Tokas

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be a good day for cricket as the weather forecast is for a sunny day in Raipur with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. It will be clear weather around the time of the match and will stay like that throughout the game.

GSA vs DUBG Pitch Report

It is an interesting wicket that has offered plenty of help to both batters and bowlers. We’ve witnessed some great batting performances in the first innings while a couple of matches saw teams chasing down below-par scores quite comfortably. The average 1st innings score is 160 runs in the last 5 matches played at this venue. The team batting first needs to put at least 180 or more on the board to be in a winning position.

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first have won 3 of the 5 matches played in this tournament at this venue so far. Dubai Giants have struggled to chase a target in both their games and will be keen on batting first and having runs on the board.
