Toss: To Bowl
Three of the last five matches at Ekana have been won by teams bowling first, compared with two victories for sides batting first.

KARS vs GOLS
Winning Prediction
Kashi Rudras have made a strong start to the tournament, winning three of their four matches and collecting six points to sit second in the table. They have also won four of their last five matches, while Gorakhpur Lions have managed only one win in their last five.
Gorakhpur have shown that they can produce competitive totals with the bat, but their bowling has struggled to defend those scores. Kashi have the stronger recent record and head-to-head advantage, having won four of the last five meetings. Their better overall campaign and greater consistency make them favourites to win this clash.
Kashi Rudras to win the match.
