In the sixth encounter of the Legends League Cricket 2023, Bhilwara Kings will face Manipal Tigers. They hope to rebound from their recent setback to the Gujarat Giants. Lendl Simmons’ unblemished 99-run performance wasn’t enough to get the Kings to 173 runs, as the Kings lost by three runs. Despite having pursued 229 runs in their last match, Kings lacked contributions from other middle-order batsmen against Giants, causing them to fall behind in the run chase.
Manipal Tigers, on the other hand, comfortably defended 173 runs with the ball, with to clinical efforts from Harbhajan Singh and Parvinder Awana. With some of the greatest bowlers on the team, the Tigers will present a formidable challenge to the Kings’ batting order, which is currently having trouble. Not only that, but they have powerful openers at the top of the order as well as some excellent all-rounders in the middle order.

Manipal Tigers
Harbhajan Singh will be pleased with his team’s recent performance, particularly his period of two for fourteen and a maiden from four overs. This Manipal Tigers team features a star-studded bowling assault, led by Mitchell McClenaghan. Swing bowlers Praveen Kumar and Parvinder Awana will be key players to watch. Awana concluded his three overs with four for 19 as the Tigers successfully protected 173 runs.
Although several of their batters did not perform up to par, their batting lineup appears to be strong. In this game, Robin Uthappa and Chadwick Walton ought to be trying to make the most of their starts. At number three, Zimbabwean batting all-rounder Hamilton Masakadza struck a rapid 37 off 18 balls, looking in excellent form. With Colin de Grandhomme and Kyle Coetzer coming in at positions four and five, the middle order appears to be set.
Both struggled to get going in their previous encounter, but they are recognized for their big-hitting ability and can deliver a massive hit on their best day. Thisara Perera, a bowling all-rounder from Sri Lanka, comes in at number six for the Tigers. He got 32 runs off 17 balls against the Gujarat Giants and will be a player to watch in the lower order.

Bhilwara Kings
Bhilwara Kings must brace themselves for the next challenge, as the Tigers will ask numerous questions with the ball. They would not have won if it hadn’t been for an incredible knock by Irfan Pathan for their first encounter. So far, Solomon Mire has started the innings with Lendl Simmons and subsequently with Tilakratne Dislhan. We believe that the best opening pair would be Simmons and Dilshan, as both are attacking hitters who can get the team off to a fast start.

And we believe that the best opening pair would be Simmons and Dilshan, as both are attacking hitters who can get the team off to a fast start. Kings’ middle-order included Robin Bist and Pinal Shah, two Indian domestic cricket stalwarts. Between 2008 and 2011, Shah also appeared in a dozen IPL matches.
At 6 and 7, Bhilwara Kings boast some of the strongest finishers in Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan, with the latter already delivering a fantastic finish in the first game. They don’t have many promising bowlers in the squad, so bringing in Shane Watson to replace the 45-year-old Ryan Sidebottom should assist boost their bowling assault.

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun
It makes sense that most teams in the competition have chosen to bowl thus far. The tracks will aid players in pursuing an objective and are excellent for batting. Both sides have strong lower-order finishers and an explosive opening pair that could provide for an exciting run chase.
With a maximum temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, the weather will be partly cloudy. We estimate 170+ runs in both innings on this batting-friendly pitch. The pitch has even bounce and pace, so batters trying to play lofted shots should have no issue.
