TEAMS PREVIEW

Dhanbad Diamonds Preview

Dhanbad Diamonds will not be happy with the loss in a rain-affected game. There is a slim chance for the side who bats first in a shorter game. They lost to Chota Nagpur in a shorter game. The Diamonds scored 63 runs in 7 overs and the Royals were asked to chase 65 in 5 overs through D/L method. Chota Nagpur chased down the total in 4.2 overs. 

The Diamonds will now play a night game on Friday and expect a comeback victory. They need big support from the middle order. Aryaman Sen scored 31 off 20 balls. Rain spoiled the party for Dhanbad. Bal Krishna could be a player to watch out for. He picked up 14 wickets in the SMAT last year for Jharkhand. We back him to pick two wickets in the upcoming game. 

Dhanbad Diamonds Predicted Playing XI:

Sushant Mishra, Pankaj Kumar, Bal Krishna, Atul Singh Surwar, Ram Roshan Saran, Bisesh Dutta, Vikash Kumar Vishal, Md Shamshad, Vivekanand Tiwari, Aryaman Sen, Aditya Singh

Jamshedpur Steelers Preview

Jamshedpur Steelers are back to their second game in the Jharkhand T20 League. They suffered a 122-run loss to Koylanchal Super Kings in the opening game. The Super Kings posted 250/2 in the first innings. Jamshedpur were restricted to 128. Anurag Singh Sengar was the top scorer with 29 runs. Sahil Raj went for just 27 runs in his 4-over spell. 

Jameshedpur lacked in all departments in the opening game. They conceded season’s highest total and looked down during the chase. They need to regroup and come hard in the next game. Sahil Raj could be a player to watch out for. He has been an all-round asset. In the previous game, he conceded less than 7 runs per over and also scored 26 runs in top-order. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game.

Jamshedpur Steelers Predicted Playing XI:

Md Kounain Quraishi, Sahil Raj, Kumar Deobrat, Anukul Roy, Pratik Ranjan, Niteen Kumar Pandey, Ravi Sharma, Harsh Rana, Adarsh Giri, Kumar Karan, Sameer Sharma

DHD vs JAMS Pitch Report

The surface at JSCA International Stadium Ranchi is good for batting. Rain can spoil the party so toss will play a big role. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 138. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively. 

Score prediction: 

If Dhanbad bat first - 160-170 runs 

If Jamshedpur bat first - 180-190 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won only three times. Overcast conditions can help pacers to pick early wickets. We might also get a shorter game so chasing would be a good call. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Dhanbad to win the coin toss.
