MANT vs SSS Match Prediction
The Manipal Tigers, who are aiming for their third consecutive victory, will play the Southern Super Stars at the Molana Azad Stadium in Jammu. The Stars’ batting problems have become worse as they have dropped their last two games in a row.
In the second game, Southern Super Stars batted first and concluded with 163 for 6, failing to reach a 157-run mark in the first one. Against the formidable batting lineup of the India Capitals, it was insufficient.
The Tigers, on the other hand, have demonstrated remarkable batsmanship, and their top order has settled into a groove after several game-winning hits in their most recent game. Their bowling attack is extremely crucial and has helped the Manipal Tigers tremendously thus far.
There will be a wide range of talented bowlers who appear to be at the peak of their game and in excellent form.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Manipal Tigers Preview
In the Legends League Cricket 2023, Harbhajan Singh has guided the Tigers to two straight wins. With their potent bowling attack, they appear to be the team in this competition that is currently the most competitive.
Mitchell McClenaghan recovered from a subpar start in their opening encounter. He made a breakthrough while casting a sparing spell.
In addition, Imran Khan joined the celebration with a 3-fer against Bhilwara Kings while defending 211 runs, while Parvinder Awana and Harbhajan Singh carried on with their bowling form.
The Manipal Tigers are well-prepared with Thisara Perera and Colin de Grandhomme in the midst of the bat lineup. Chadwick Walton and Robin Uthappa, the opening batsmen, had a magnificent opening partnership in the last game, converting their starts.
They have some useful batters lower in the order in Angelo Perera and Muhammad Kaif in addition to their top three players, who are all in excellent form. We anticipate that the powerful Kiwi Corey Anderson, who hasn’t yet been included in the starting lineup, will receive an opportunity in this game.
The Tigers have a strong group and should have no trouble winning a hat-trick of games because they have a few key players who are playing well.
Manipal Tigers’ anticipated starting lineup:
Robin Uthappa (wk), Mitchell McClenaghan, Parvinder Awana, Praveen Gupta, Chadwick Walton, Hamilton Masakadza, Colin de Grandhomme, Mohammad Kaif, Angelo Perera, Thisara Perera, Imran Khan, Harbhajan Singh (c), and Imran Khan
Southern Super Stars Preview
The Southern Super Stars, who are yet to secure a victory, are keen to return to winning ways in Jammu. They will go up against one of the top bowling units in Legends League Cricket, thus it will be a difficult match.
Against Urbanrisers Hyderabad, Ross Taylor and company were unable to overcome a par score of 156 runs in the first game. And if Chaturanga de Silva hadn’t hit for fifty at number five in the next game, the batting performance would have been the same or even worse.
Both Ross Taylor and the top-order were unable to have any effect once more. In the 13th Over, Southern Super Stars were 4 down for 88 runs, but de Silva’s undefeated 56 off 34 balls lifted them over the 160-run threshold.
This hitting lineup has a few serious problems that Taylor needs to solve. His initial shape as well as the elite pairings. Jesse Ryder and Aaron Finch make a fantastic starting duo, or Ryder could begin with Tharanga.
The opening batsmen, with Taylor coming in at number four, are crucial to the Stars’ batting effort. Now that he can finish a game for the team, C de Silva must have high expectations.
The bowling assault features some well-known players, thus if Stars were to bowl first, they may lead their team to victory.
Super Stars from the South Projected Lineup:
Aaron Finch, Pawan Negi, Bipul Sharma, Suranga Lakmal, Hamid Hassan, Rajesh Bishnoi, Upul Tharanga, Dilshan Munaweera, Shreevats Goswami (wk), Chaturanga de Silva, Ross Taylor (c),
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at this location is not well recognized. However, we believe the curators would choose a batting-friendly pitch given the nature of this competition and the expectations attached to it. On the day of the match, Jammu will see overcast skies and a high of 23 degrees Celsius.
Location Specifics
The Molana Azad Stadium in Jammu will host the match between the Manipal Tigers and the Southern Super Stars. We are unable to determine what a match-winning score would be because this venue hasn’t hosted many matches. However, based on both teams’ recent performance, we believe a first-inning total of 180 or more should be competitive.
Toss: To Bowl
Bowling first will serve both teams’ best interests. The bowlers for Taylor’s Stars promise a great performance, but their hitters aren’t playing at their best right now. The faltering Stars’ batting order can only muster a par score against the Tigers’ potent bowling attack.
Winning Prediction
Manipal Tigers to win this Match
We now doubt that a team winning two straight games will continue to win, and vice versa. However, given the manner in which the Tigers have won and the Stars have lost, it is evident that the Manipal Tigers are the better team in this match. They will therefore enter this game with the upper hand and be our match prediction’s early favorites.
