Here’s the match preview for the clash between India Capitals and Bhilwara Kings:

Team News

India Capitals

India Capitals did extremely well in the first match albeit they lost against Gujarat Giants. Ashley Nurse turned out to be the hero of the night that day for the Capitals after scoring a century. However, apart from him, the rest of the batters failed to give their best. 

The team will look to turn things around in the next match against Bhilwara Kings. Albeit they lost in the first match, the intent and the approach from the players looked right. 

Players to watch out for:

1) Hamilton Masakadza:

The Zimbabwe star failed to shine in the first match. But one can never undermine the player and his efforts. He will definitely go down as the player to watch out for in the next match against Bhilwara Kings. 

2) Jacques Kallis:

Jacques Kallis bagged a duck in the last match against Gujarat Giants. The all-rounder will definitely look to get back among the runs and tomorrow’s match against Bhilwara Kings might well be the day for Proteas legend. 

3) Pravin Tambe:

The star picked up a three-for in the last outing. He is one of those athletes who’s constantly reminded that age will only be a number. The spinner will target the middle order batters and will look to get scalps at crucial intervals. 

Predicted Playing XI: 

Jacques Kallis (c), Solomon Mire, Hamilton Masakadza, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Ashley Nurse, Suhail Sharma, Liam Plunkett, Mitchell Johnson, Pankaj Singh, Pawan Suyal, Rajat Bhatia, Praveen Gupta, Pravin Tambe

Bhilwara Kings

Bhilwara Kings emerged as the winners in their first outing against Manipal Tigers. The team looked in fine touch and well coordinated. Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan looked in fine nick and the latter will look to lead his side to victory yet again.

Players to watch out for:

1) Yusuf Pathan:

Yusuf Pathan looks in dangerous form and one has to agree that the player has still got a lot of cricket left in him. The veteran looked classy with every shot that he came up with and timed the ball well. He will look to carry on the same in the match against India Capitals. 

2) Irfan Pathan:

Irfan Pathan, the all-rounder, is yet another player who looks in great touch. The player contributed with the bat and also with the ball as well. No surprise if the legendary player manages to bag a three-for for Bhilwara Kings. 

3) Fidel Edwards:

Fidel Edwards, the fiery West Indian bowler managed to bag a four-for in the previous match against India Capitals. He will be threatening and the opponent batters will have to find a way to tackle him. 

Predicted Playing XI:

Naman Ojha (wk), William Porterfield, Nick Compton, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan (c), Fidel Edwards, Tino Best, Monty Panesar, Tanmay Srivastava, Dinesh Salunkhe, Rajesh Bishnoi, S Sreesanth

Pitch Report:

The pitch at Ekana stadium, Lucknow will favour bowling and teams winning the toss must elect to bowl first. Albeit it has become a norm to chase the totals nowadays, Ekana will suit bowlers initially and teams must chase it down.
