TEAMS PREVIEW
India Capitals Preview
India Capitals are on the verge of registering their third loss as they will play a full fledged game in Dehradun. Gambhir looks in blistering form & has improved his strike rates with each passing year. He will lead a stunning lineup comprising of Hashim Amla, Kevin Pietersen, and Ben Dunk. The duo of Pietersen and Ashley Nurse who led the comeback for capitals in their last clash will aim to do the same in this clash as well.
While Amla needs to find his form, he along with Kirk Edwards and Ben Dunk will handle Capitals middle order. Their batting order is quite deep with Nurse at No 7 followed by Isuru Udana. Isuru is a bowling all-rounder who adds depth to the lineup & plays a role with ball along with World Cup-winning bowler Munaf Patel. And in the spin department, Nurse and Pravin Tambe are high-impact players to watch out for.
India Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Hashim Amla, Gautam Gambhir (c), Kirk Edwards, Ben Dunk (wk), Ricardo Powell, Ashley Nurse, Rusty Theron, Isuru Udana, KP Appanna, Pravin Tambe, Munaf Patel
Southern Super Stars Preview
Southern Super Stars need to up their game against Capitals if winning is on their mind. In the batting order, Ross Taylor is their biggest bet. He is known for his clean & powerpack hitting. However he need to up their game & return with runs in the middle order which he failed to do in the opening clash scoring 12 off 11 balls at No 5. Nevertheless, he is a big impact player and on his best day, can singlehandedly turn the game on its head. Jesse Ryder along with Upul Tharanga is a solid opening pair & will provide an ideal start to their innings.
The middle order will be taken care of by Shreevats Goswami, member of the U-19 World Cup winning team under Virat Kohli. While the lower order will be taken care of by Manvinder Bisla who had plenty of franchise league experience after leading KKR to their first title win. It is a well balanced lineup which aims of a big comeback. Their biggest strength is their bowling attack comprising of Abdur Razzak, Suranga Lakmal, and Hamid Hassan
Southern Super Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Dilshan Munaweera, Upul Tharanga, Shreevats Goswami (wk), Ross Taylor (c), Andre McCarthy, Pawan Negi, Rajesh Bishnoi, Manvinder Bisla, Suranga Lakmal, Hamid Hassan, Abdur Razzak, Jesse Ryder

INC vs SSS Winning prediction
Both the teams are looking to win the first point of the league. They have a balanced squad but we think that the oldies of game Gautam Gambhir will have an upper hand in this match. They have played two matches & delivered some stellar performances. Though Superstars have a better bowling attack & we reckon India Capitals will start an edge in this contest.
