The Bhilwara Kings will play the Southern Super Stars in a must-win game at Jammu’s Molana Azad Stadium. With only two matches remaining in their season, they must win both to remain in contention for the playoffs. After a surprising victory in the season opener, Irfan Pathan’s Kings appear to have lost their way. In terms of batting, there has been a declining trend. They will now face a formidable and in-form bowling attack of Super Stars.
In their previous meeting at this location, Ross Taylor’s Super Stars bowled first and limited the formidable Manipal Tigers to 124 for 9. They’ll be confident going into this game against a struggling and unreliable Bhilwara Kings batting lineup. Bowling is also important for the Stars because their batters have been struggling and aren’t trustworthy enough to lead them to victory.
In their opening game of the season, Bhilwara Kings chased down a 229-run goal with three wickets in hand. Irfan Pathan was the match’s standout, scoring an undefeated 65 off 19 balls. However, the Kings’ batting fell flat in the next two games. In the following game, Simmons led the run-chase with a 99-run knock, but Bhilwara Kings fell short by three runs.
And, after chasing 212 against the Manipal Tigers, they finished with 122 for 8, with Simmons dismissed for a duck. Though Tillakaratne Dilshan got off to a fast start with 26 off 16, others couldn’t stay up. Irfan Pathan will be concerned about more than just his batting in this match. The bowlers have also been costly and wicketless. There isn’t one bowler who has consistently made breakthroughs and can be the skipper’s go-to bowler.
The heavy guns in the middle-order, Lendl Simmons, Robin Bist, and Yusuf Pathan, must fire to get the Kings to a competitive score. And, while the lineup is deep, with big-hitting Irfan Pathan coming in at number 7, it is the middle order that will be key, and their performance will be game-changing.

Southern Super Stars will be hoping to get an advantage over Bhilwara Kings at this site where they recently triumphed. Despite a lackluster batting performance, the Stars will take heart from their victory. Jesse Ryder and Upul Tharanga both hit 30 runs, adding a total of 60 runs for the opening partnership, although with a strike rate of less than 100. However, because the goal was only 125 runs, Southern Super Stars were unaffected.
Pawan Negi, the bowling all-rounder, was excellent with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 25 from 11 balls at number 7 to send the Stars home. The Stars’ middle-order woes continue, with skipper Ross Taylor again struggling to find his form. Super Stars’ key players include Sreevats Goswami, Taylor, and Chaturanga de Silva.
We anticipate them to respond with some vital knocks in the middle for the Super Stars. The bowlers were the big heroes of their first win of the season, and they will be the ones to watch in this game as well. The Stars’ top contributors with the ball include Abdur Razzak, Johan Botha, C de Silva, and P Negi.

Molana Azad Stadium, Jammu
Based on the previous game played on this ground, it appears that batting is difficult here, and we believe that both teams should seek to bowl first and put the opposition under pressure since both are suffering with the bat. On the day of the match, the weather in Jammu will be largely cloudy with a high of 24 degrees Celsius.
The pitch appears to be a little slower, making it harder to timing the ball easily. It also helps slow bowlers, who are vital for teams to get ahead in the competition.
These two teams meet for the first time in this tournament.
