IC VS SSS MATCH 5

We are down to the penultimate game of the Jodhpur leg in the Legends League Cricket 2024, where the Southern Super Stars are set to clash with the India Capitals at the Barkatullah Khan Stadium. Both teams have kicked off their campaigns with a win, and now they will be eager to keep the momentum going in what promises to be an exciting encounter. The Southern Super Stars will be riding high on confidence after their remarkable turnaround in the previous match. At 88/8, Chaturanga de Silva's rearguard action lifted them to a competitive total, and the spinners sealed the deal, making the most of a challenging wicket. Martin Guptill, Dinesh Karthik, and Hamilton Masakadza looked in good touch during their brief stays at the crease, and they will be keen to convert their starts into something more substantial this time around. Parthiv Patel and Kedar Jadhav, who didn’t make much of an impact with the bat, will be looking to step up, while Suranga Lakmal, the leader of the pace attack, will be eager to get amongst the wickets. On the other hand, the India Capitals edged out Toyam Hyderabad by just one run in a thrilling campaign opener. Despite posting a formidable 185, their pacers Dhawal Kulkarni and Chris Mpofu went for plenty and will need to tighten things up. In contrast, Ashley Nurse and Rahul Sharma were excellent with the ball, delivering crucial spells that helped them squeeze out the win. As they aim to make it two wins out of two, the Capitals will hope for more of the same from their spin duo while addressing the concerns in their pace department. Which team will come out on top in this clash and head into the Surat leg with their winning momentum intact? We shall find out together.
