TEAMS PREVIEW

Manipal Tigers Preview

Mohammad Kaif's side had a poor outing against the Urbanrisers Hyderabad in the 1st Qualifier, going down by 75 runs. They will look to make a strong comeback and reach the finals, winning this game. Kaif would like his side to take inspiration from their previous win against the India Capitals.  

The top order failed in the last game, and the side will expect a good start from Kyle Coetzer and Chadwick Walton. The middle order must play an important role, and the side will look for a good show from Colin de Grandhomme, Amit Verma, and Mohammad Kaif. Angelo Perera, Asela Gunaratne, and Thisara Perera must contribute in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game, and the team will need good performances from Mitchell McClenaghan and Praveen Gupta with the new ball. Pankaj Singh and Colin de Grandhomme performed poorly in the last game, and they must bowl tight spells. Thisara Perera and Imran Khan must keep pressure on their opponents.

India Capitals Preview

Gautam Gambhir’s side stood tall when it mattered the most in the Eliminator game. They defeated the Gujarat Giants by 12 runs, where the bowling attack delivered under pressure. They would look to use this momentum and reach the final. Gambhir would like the key players to be their best in this game.  

Gambhir played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to put up a big stand with Kirk Edwards. Kevin Pietersen, Ricardo Powell, and Ben Dunk played well against the Giants, and the side would like to see partnerships between them. Bharath Chipli and Ashley Nurse must add runs in the lower middle order.  

Fidel Edwards struggled in their previous game, and he must strike early in this game with Isuru Udana. Rusty Theron and Ishwar Pandey did well in the last game, and the team will expect a good show from him. The side will expect a good show from Ashley Nurse in the ing role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Surat 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.

MT vs INDCAP Pitch Report

Lalabhai Contractor Stadium, Surat, is an excellent venue for the batsmen as the flat surface and the outfield is 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

In this tournament, most teams preferred to chase. 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.
