India Capitals vs Southern Superstars Chance Winning
India Capitals, the champions of the previous season of the Legends League Cricket, have not had a great start to this tournament. They have lost both the games so far, most recently losing to Urbanrisers Hyderabad by three runs.
Bowling first, Isuru Udana was the pick of the bowlers for India Capitals with 2 for 28 in four overs. The rest of the attack couldn't make any impact as Urbanrisers posted a very good total of 189/5. Chasing the target, Capitals lost both openers Gautam Gambhir and Hashim Amla in the first two overs, and were soon reduced to 43/4.
Kevin Pietersen then produced a superb knock to bring his team back in the game. He struck 77 off 48 balls and added 72 runs for the fifth wicket with Ricardo Powell. Ashley Nurse smashed an unbeaten 41 off 25 down the order but could not get them over the line.
The newly introduced side Southern Superstars didn't have an ideal start as they succumbed to a 13-run defeat against Urbanrisers Hyderabad. Hamid Hassan bagged 4 for 30 in four overs while Suranga Lakmal and Abdur Razzak snared two scalps each. The bowlers did their job in restricting the opponents to 156 but batters could not.
Chasing the target, Southern Superstars lost both the openers in the third over. Dilshan Munaweera was the only batter to cross the 20-run mark but was dismissed for 34 off 27. A few others got starts but could not make any meaningful impact.
Talking about this game, the India Capitals will start as favourites due to their past record and overall strength. The two teams' chances of winning this game are as follows.
- India Capitals's chance of winning: 59%
- Southern Superstars’s chance of winning: 41%
