India Capitals vs Manipal Tigers Match Pitch Report
The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium offers conducive bowling conditions, being one of the few grounds in India, where batting is tougher. Looking at the past matches played here, spinners have dominated the proceedings, while the fast bowlers can use variations to take advantage of the slow nature of the track.
Two of the three T20I matches held here have been won by the chasing teams, but this could paint a deceptive image as the pitch only tends to get slower and sluggish with the progression of the game.
What to expect:
Team news:
India Capitals: A brilliant hundred from Ricardo Powell saw India Capitals chase down a 164-run target with 7 wickets in hand. Though skipper Gautam Gambhir has lost his wicket cheaply in the last two outings, there have been other significant performances from the Capitals’ batting order.
In addition to Powell’s hundred at the top, the Capitals also have Kirk Edwards and Kevin Pietersen in the middle order to look up to. These two have delivered some handy knocks and will be ones to watch out for.
Further down, the Capitals’ batting lineup features Ben Dunk and Ashley Nurse both of whom have been handy lower down the order. Nurse was unbeaten on 41 off 25 balls at number 7 against Urbanrisers Hyderabad as Capitals lost by 3 runs chasing a target of 190.
Batting first against Bhilwara Kings where Gambhir scored a fifty at the top, Dunk scored a quickfire 37 off 16 balls at number 4 helping Capitals on their way to a 200+ runs total.
Ashley Nurse also plays a key role with the ball and along with Pravin Tambe and KP Appanna, is a crucial part of the spin trio. Capitals will likely stick with this bowling combination with 3 spinners and two pacers in Rusty Theron and Isuru Udana.
India Capitals Key Players
- Gautam Gambhir
- Kirk Edwards
- Ben Dunk
- Ricardo Powell
- Ashley Nurse
- Rusty Theron
Probable XI: Gautam Gambhir (c), Kirk Edwards, Gnaneswara Rao, Ben Dunk (wk), Ricardo Powell, Ashley Nurse, Rusty Theron, Hamish Bennett, Isuru Udana, KP Appanna, Pravin Tambe
India Capitals Squad: Gautam Gambhir (c), Kirk Edwards, Gnaneswara Rao, Ben Dunk (wk), Ricardo Powell, Ashley Nurse, Rusty Theron, Hamish Bennett, Isuru Udana, KP Appanna, Pravin Tambe
Manipal Tigers: The Manipal Tigers must be keen on getting back to winning ways and maintaining their position in the top 2 of the points table. They played some outstanding cricket in their first two outings where both batters and bowlers shined with exceptional performances that led the Tigers to consecutive wins.
However, the Tigers had no one to help them bounce back after early losses in the last match as they lost 4 wickets for 62 runs in the 11th Over. They still had some quality batters despite losing the top 4.
Angelo Perera, Colin de Grandhomme, and Thisara Perera are all match-winning legendary batters in the lower middle order of Manipal Tigers. Their failure to rise to the occasion and lead a comeback shows that the Tigers are dependent on the top 4 to set them up for a big finish.
Though Angelo and Thisara Perera have made significant contributions in the previous outings, they will need to have a platform set by the top-order batters on which the two Sri Lanka legends can build.
There is great variety in the bowling attack and with Harbhajan Singh in great form delivering consistently, Manipal Tigers look quite threatening. They’ve also got Imran Khan and Parvinder Awana who are among the top wicket-takers for the side.
Manipal Tigers Key Players
- Robin Uthappa
- Hamilton Masakadza
- Colin de Grandhomme
- Thisara Perera
- Harbhajan Singh
Probable XI: Robin Uthappa (wk), S Badrinath, Hamilton Masakadza, Mohammad Kaif, Angelo Perera, Colin de Grandhomme, Thisara Perera, Imran Khan, Harbhajan Singh (c), Mitchell McClenaghan, Parvinder Awana
Manipal Tigers Squad: Robin Uthappa (wk), S Badrinath, Hamilton Masakadza, Mohammad Kaif, Angelo Perera, Colin de Grandhomme, Thisara Perera, Imran Khan, Harbhajan Singh (c), Mitchell McClenaghan, Parvinder Awana

Manipal Tigers
India Capitals vs Manipal Tigers Match Prediction
Manipal Tigers have had a top run in the tournament where batters and bowlers have delivered in unison. For the defending champions, Capitals, things have gone south. However, with players like Kevin Pietersen, Ricardo Powell, and Kirk Edwards doing well, they can’t be taken lightly. Their bowling though looks a little weak which is why we believe that the Manipal Tigers are slightly favourites to win.
We expect the Manipal Tigers to win this match.
