TEAMS PREVIEW

Rajasthan Regals Preview

The Regals will begin their campaign in this game, and skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan will look to inspire confidence in his team. The team has experienced players who have done well at the top level. Dilshan will look to lead from the front, start the season with a win, and set the tone for the rest of the tournament. 

The team needs a good start in this game from Tillakaratne Dilshan and Dwayne Smith, as both players are good hitters. Shreevats Goswami must add runs in the middle order with Morne van Wyk and Shahbaz Nadeem. Rajat Bhatia is a good striker, and he will look to add quick runs with Prashant Yadav. 

The team will expect early wickets from Fidel Edwards and Tino Best in the game, as the Southern Spartans have a quality batting lineup. Mohammad Faizan and Surya Pratap Singh must do well in the middle overs and stop the flow of runs. Morne van Wyk and Prashant Yadav add depth to this attack.

Tillakaratne Dilshan (c), Shreevats Goswami (wk), Morne van Wyk, Dwayne Smith, Fidel Edwards, Rajat Bhatia, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mohammad Faizan, Surya Pratap Singh, Tino Best, Prashant Yadav

Southern Spartans Preview

Suresh Raina will be upset at having started the season with a loss. Despite a good show from the batsmen, the team went down by 6 wickets against the Northern Challengers in their first game. Raina would expect a better show from his bowlers in this game to earn their first points.

Solomon Mire batted well in the last game and will look to put up a big opening-wicket stand with Faiza Fazal. The middle order is formidable, and the team expects a good show from Shrestha, Suresh Raina, and Aman Khan. Abhimanyu Mithun and Abhishek Yadav are good hitters and aim to add quick runs in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack will be under pressure after a poor performance in the last game. Abhimanyu Mithun did well, but he will need from Abhishek Yadav on the other end with the new ball. Asmut Fayaz and Aman Khan must bowl better lines than in the last game. The team will also expect tight spells from Abhishek Sakuja and Milin Yadav.

Southern Spartans Predicted Playing XI:

Suresh Raina (c), Solomon Mire, Shrestha (wk), Faiz Fazal, Aman Khan, Abhimanyu Mithun, Abhishek Yadav, Abdul Rehman, Milin Yadav, Abhishek Sakuja, Asmut Fayaz

Southern Spartans Actual Playing XI:

FY Fazal, Herschelle Gibbs, Solomon Mire, Phil Mustard, Abhimanyu Mithun, Abhishek Sakuja, Aman Khan, Abhishek Yadav, Abdul Rehman, Asmut Fayaz, Milin Yadav, Shrestha

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Surat will be clear. We have seen flat tracks at this venue and expect the trend to continue. There would be little assistance for the fast bowler. The side that bats first would have to target a score around the 200-run mark to win here.

RR vs SS Pitch Report

Lalabhai Contractor Stadium, Surat, is an excellent venue for the batsmen. It has a flat surface and a fast outfield, which allows batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers do well with the new ball. Spinners get assistance from the surface as the wicket wears down.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams chasing the score have enjoyed a good record at this venue. The conditions are good for batting throughout the game, allowing teams to chase big scores. The team winning the toss would like to take advantage of the surface by bowling first.
