The fifth game of the Legends League Cricket 2023 is set to be played between India Capitals (IC) and Urbanrisers Hyderabad (UHY). Ranchi is set to host the game on Thursday as former teammates Gautam Gambhir and Suresh Raina cross paths once again.
India Capitals come into the game on the back of a loss to Bhilwara Kings in the opening game of the tournament. Despite scoring 228, the India Capitals bowlers saw Irfan Pathan and his team chase down the total in the final over of the game.
Urbanrisers Hyderabad made their Legends League Cricket debut in grand style on Tuesday. Suresh Raina and his team beat fellow debutants Southern Super Stars by 13 runs to make a winning start to the tournament.

IC vs UHY – Likely Pitch and Playing Conditions –
Over 450 runs were scored in the first game but since then the pitch has started to ease out and help the bowlers. Teams batting first have been winning the games despite the presence of dew on the ground.
Spinners and pacers are getting equal help from the surface as batting has become difficult once the ball gets old. One may expect the skipper winning the toss to bat first given the way the last few games panned out.

Hashim Amla, Gautam Gambhir, Kirk Edwards, Ben Dunk, Ricardo Powell, Ashley Nurse, G Rao, Isuru Udana, Rusty Theron, Pravin Tambe, and Fidel Edwards.
