INC vs GJG PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
The weather in Jammu & Kashmir will be cloudy. The wicket is slow on this pitch & the batting conditions here will be challenging. The team batting first will have to make 170 runs to avoid a defeat. The pitch here will aid fast bowlers as it produces more of bounce & pace & could do well on this venue. Spinners need to use variations at this venue as the ball doesn’t grip on the surface & skids through.
The track at Jammu is slow & assists bowlers early in the fixture. Thus bowling first & restricting the opponents to a low total will be the agenda of the team winning the toss
Winning Prediction
India Capitals have won just one game in three matches played. Their bowling attack hasn’t performed well & will be their major concern against the Giants. On the other other, Giants looks more settled with firepower in the batting order & depth in the bowling attack.
We predict Gujarat Giants to win this clash.
