With 21 group stage games scheduled in this tournament, time is running out for the teams towards the bottom of the table to put together a run of positive results and try to get into the end of season play-offs.
However, both of these teams, Manipal Tigers and Gujarat Greats, have had plenty of positive moments over recent games even if they haven't been able to win all of them!
In what is likely to be a low-scoring contest, the bowlers on both sides will be key in this fixture and it would be a surprise if any individual batter is able to make a score of 50+.
But with plenty to play for, this should be an enthralling match in Jammu.

In T20 cricket at any level, having a talented batter like Thisara Perera in your side will always give you a chance and Manipal Tigers will be looking to hit to produce the goods once again in this game.
Captain Harbhajan Singh is another player more than capable of making lower order runs but the team management will also be looking to Robin Uthappa at the top of the order as well as Daniel Christian to contribute.
With the ball, Rahul Shukla took two wickets in the last game but he will be desperate to improve on his economy rate after leaking 48 runs across his four overs. He could learn a thing or two from Asela Gunaratne who took 1/16 from his four overs in the same match.

With their last game rained off, Gujarat Greats have had plenty of opportunity to work on their game in the nets and we expect their batters to return to the middle and produce better performances than were seen in their defeat against Southern Super Stars who beat them by eight wickets in Match 6.
Unsurprisingly, it is captain Shikhar Dhawan who will be the key batter for the Greats once more and he top scored with five fours in his 38 runs from 43 balls in the last match. Asghar Afghan could potentially be pushed up the order as he was the only other in the top seven to make a double figure score in that game.
With the ball, only Samar Quadri and Manan Sharma took a wicket each against the Super Stars and Dhawan will be looking to the likes of Liam Plunkett and Jerome Taylor to be more economical as well as more threatening in this fixture.

Clear skies are forecast once again in Jammu for this game on Saturday with the temperature rapidly rising throughout the morning to be over 30 degrees by midday and even higher in the early afternoon. Humidity levels will reduce as the game develops.
After two games at this venue, we are starting to get an accurate picture of what to expect from the surface. So far, we are yet to see any side bowled out but the two winning totals have been only 144/7 and 127/4. There is not a great deal of pace in the wicket and any score around 140 should be defendable in this game.
With both of the previous matches at the Molana Azad Stadium won by the team batting first, it would seem like a simple decision for both captains at the toss ahead of this game. Our prediction is that both sides will want to bat first.
In T20 cricket, momentum is often a big part of any side's success and it could certainly be argued that Manipal Tigers will be riding a wave of confidence after their Super Over victory against Toyam Hyderabad on Thursday. However, looking at the two line-ups, we think Gujarat Greats are the stronger and we are backing them to get the victory.
We are backing Gujarat Greats to win!
