Gurugram Thunders have had a horrible start to the season, losing two games in a row. Their latest outing saw them suffer a 3-run defeat against Dubai Royals. The team hasn’t done too badly, but is failing to finish games, which they must correct soon.
In the batting unit, Cheteshwar Pujara has been their main man and has impressed so far with 115 runs in two matches at 157.53. He will be expected to contribute at least 30 runs in this game as the rest of the batting unit has faltered.
Thisara Perera has also been good, collecting 61 runs in two games at 175. If the likes of Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme, and Jermaine Blackwood lend some support to Pujara and Perera, then Gurugram can surely pack a punch.
The bowlers have been underpar. Stuart Broad has been the pick of the lot, with three wickets in two games at an economy of 5.60.
The likes of Saurin Thakar, Malinda Pushpakumara, and Colin de Grandhomme have done decently as well, with one wicket each, and will be expected to contribute more in this match.

The season began well for Maharashtra Tycoons. Put in to bat by Rajasthan Lions, they put up 192 for 6 and eventually defended it by just eight runs.
There were plenty of bright spots for the Tycoons in the opening match. Chris Gayle was the top-scorer of the innings with a solid 45 off 29, while Stuart Binny and Shaun Marsh chipped in with crucial 30s.
Looking ahead, Maharashtra will need more support from the likes of Alastair Cook, Pratik Athavale, and Carlos Brathwaite, as all are capable with the bat, and the team will hope for better output from them this time.
Their bowling effort was good too. Ayaan Khan was the standout, finishing with a tidy 2 for 24 in his four overs. Skipper Brathwaite also made a good start with the new ball and looked in rhythm throughout, ending with 2-35. With his T20 exposure, the all-rounder carries a lot of weight in this attack.
Peter Siddle is another one worth backing, as he has years of experience and is coming off a successful BBL stint.

1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium usually provides a balanced wicket that favors batters. The square boundaries are stretched, forcing batters to hit deeper. Under lights, the pitch stays true, and scores around 175 are considered par. Bowlers who vary their pace and angles have more success here than those who stick to raw speed. Dew could make chasing a bit easier.
The weather in Goa will be comfortable for the entire game.

Gurugram Thunders desperately need a turnaround after starting their season with two consecutive defeats. Their batting has looked lacklustre, and that needs to change if they hope to revive their campaign. Maharashtra Tycoons, meanwhile, have begun with a confident win, and early signs show that they could go far. Looking at both the squads, the Tycoons look stronger overall and are hence the better picks as the winners of this match.
Back Maharashtra Tycoons as the winners of this match.
