ICN vs RRP Match Prediction & Analysis
Southern Superstars will take on India Tigers in their third outing of the season. With two wins from two matches, the hosts look promising and can put the visitors on the back foot with regular breakthroughs.
They were exceptional with the ball in the last game, as they affected a collapse of the opposition’s batting order twice while defending a total. Diwesh Pathania will be a key bowler in this squad to watch. He’s the in-form player delivering consistent breakthroughs for the Superstars.
After losing to Mumbai Spartans while chasing a 160-run total, the Tigers made a strong comeback in the very next game. They chased down 170 in just 16 overs. Samit Patel looks in great touch in the middle order and will be a key player, along with the in-form and consistent Kuldeep Hooda, in the middle order.
Given the format of this tournament, where retired players compete for the glory, frequent changes to the XI are expected, and as such, the consistency will be affected. Nonetheless, there are some consistent performers in both lineups, and they will be crucial in putting their side ahead in the contest.

TEAMS PREVIEW
India Captains Preview
Southern Superstars have played two games so far and won both. Their last match saw them comfortably defend a 179-run total. They restricted the opposition to 139 runs, picking up 8 wickets at regular intervals, never letting the chasing side an upper hand in the game.
The top 4 of this batting order look solid with skipper Hamilton Masakdza at the top and Dilshan Munaweera and Punit Mehra in the middle. Rajat Bhatia was the captain for the opening game, and Masakadza took over the reins in the second match.
In the opening game, the Superstars bowled out India Captains for 87 runs while bowling first. While Diwesh Pathania picked up 2 for 12 in his 3 Overs, it was Ajit Chandila with his 4 for 14 that turned the game on its head, putting Superstars far ahead in the contest.
Bhatia was also impactful with the ball in that game, but did not make it to the XI in the second. The Superstars have many reliable and promising players in both departments and will have an edge in this contest.

Royal Riders Punjab Preview
India Tigers’ last game was rescheduled due to rain and then finally abandoned. They will not be happy to see their rhythm disrupted after having no game time for the last 3 days.
Before that, they had recently recovered from a defeat against Mumbai, with a convincing win over India Captains, chasing 170 runs in a 16-over, rain-affected game. Samit Patel, Kuldeep Hooda, and Jeevan Mendis were the match-winners for the Tigers in that run chase.
Hooda has been consistent in the middle order and will be crucial in leading the Tigers to a must-win match in their last league-stage appearance. A win here would help them secure a spot in the playoffs.
Shadab Jakati is another key all-rounder in this squad to watch out for. The left-arm orthodox bowling legend finished with 3 for 24 in his game against Mumbai.
Tillakaratne Dilshan, the Sri Lankan legend, will be expected to come good at the top alongside his opening partner Amitoze Singh. The Tigers should consider getting Kamau Leverock in for Milinda Siriwardana at number 4. Pawan Negi will lead the bowling attack for the Tigers. Samit Patel and Jeevan Mendis are other promising bowling options in the squad.
Interesting Stats
Kuldeep Hooda has scored 125 runs in his last three innings for India Tigers
Samit Patel and Jeevan Mendis have picked up 3 and 4 wickets in the last three outings, respectively
Royal Riders Punjab Predicted Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear evening in Haldwani with a high of 20 degrees Celsius, and it will get cooler as the match progresses. The humidity will be slightly on the higher side and could help the swing bowlers in the power play. There are no signs of rain, and we expect a complete and uninterrupted match between the two sides.
ICN vs RRP Pitch Report
It is a batting-friendly wicket that assisted the bowlers in the early outings here, but the batters have finally managed to make the most of these conditions in recent games. The average first innings score in the last 6 matches here is 164 runs. The team batting first in this match should aim for something over 176 runs to be in a competitive position.
Toss: To Bowl
Though the teams batting first have won 4 of the last 6 games here, we still think the team winning the toss will opt to bowl. The way India Tigers and Royal Riders Punjab chased down a competitive total in a rain-affected match raises confidence in the batters’ chances of dominating on this wicket.

Winning Prediction
Southern Superstars and India Tigers promise a close contest. There are promising bowlers in both lineups and some in-form and consistent performers in the batting lineups, too. However, the home team’s batting order looks stronger, and they also have a more in-form and consistent wicket-taker in the squad that puts them slightly ahead in this contest. Southern Superstars will start as favorites in our match prediction.
