Gujarat Giants vs Manipal Tigers Toss Prediction

The match is set to be played at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi. The last match held at the venue was between Andhra and Railways during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The former won the toss and elected to field first, but, unfortunately, it did not work out in their favour as Railways posted a total of 171/5 and Andhra was only able to reach a score of 118/9 by the end of 20 overs. Given this recent outcome and the disparity in their performance, it is likely that the toss winner will opt to bat first in the upcoming match.
