India Capitals vs Bhilwara Kings Match Pitch Report
The JSCA Stadium pitch is usually a good batting surface, but it is not a batting paradise. Slow bowlers and spinners get a little help as the ball tends to grip and hit the bat a bit slower than usual. This makes the hitting game a bit more difficult. A total of 7 T20I matches have been played at the ground, with the team batting first winning 3 times, while the chasing team won on four occasions.
What to expect:
Team news:
India Capitals: India Capitals won the previous edition of LLC after defeating Bhilwara Kings in the Jaipur final by 104 runs. They have assembled a powerful squad once again and will be the team to beat this time too.

All-rounder Ashley Nurse was their leading run-getter in the previous edition, with 247 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of almost 200! He will surely be the batter to watch out for.
The Capitals have also roped in the services of Hashim Amla. The classy South African batter is expected to open for the team and provide them with solid starts.
Giving them more batting depth is England’s Kevin Pietersen, who can take the game away from the opposition in no time.
Among the bowlers, it’s leg-spinner Pravin Tambe (11 wickets in 6 innings last season) who can have a big impact. The likes of Munaf Patel and Fidel Edwards will bring in all their experience with the new ball.
