Sri Lankan Lions Preview
Thisara Perera and his men performed well under pressure in the Eliminator against the Indian Royals. In a high-scoring game, the side won by 26 runs. They will look to build on this momentum as they face a strong team in Indian Royals. Perera would expect a strong show from his bowlers after they struggled in the last game.
Tillakaratne Dilshan and Leo Fransisco went out cheaply in the last game, and the team expects a good start from the pair. Mevan Fernando batted well in the last game, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Lasith Lakshan and Thisara Perera, whose electrifying knock sealed the game for the team. Vikum Sanjaya and Raveen Sayer will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Malinda Pushpakumara and Vikum Sanjaya must get early breakthroughs, as the Indians will come hard at them in this game. Upul Indrasiri and Tillakaratne Dilshan struggled with their lines in the last game, and the team expects a better show from the players. Lahiru Gamage and Thisara Perera must do well in the supporting role.
Indian Royals Preview
Faiz Fazal and his men had a poor outing in the 1st Qualifier against the Asian Stars. The side that dominated opponents in earlier games went down by 4 wickets. They will look to make a strong comeback and take inspiration from their earlier win against the Asian Stars. The team expects a strong show in this game from its batsmen.
Rahul Yadav and Shadab Jakati delivered a good start in the last game, and the team expects something similar from this opening pair. Faiz Fazal will look to lead from the front and do well in the middle order with Yogesh Nagar and Gurpreet. The team will expect big hits from Bipul Sharma and Manpreet Gony in the lower middle order.
Anureet Singh and Bipul Sharma must strike early, as the Sri Lankans will be confident after their good show in the last game. Manpreet Gony and Sudeep Tyagi must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show in the supporting role from Karanveer Singh, Yogesh Nagar, and Gurpreet.
Weather Conditions
We expect excellent weather conditions. Batting conditions will be good as the track is known for big scores. Batsmen can easily play their strokes, and bowlers must use their variations well. The team batting first would like to have 180 on board.
SLO vs INR Pitch Report
Miraj International Cricket Stadium, Rajasthan, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as there is some turn on this surface.
Toss: To Bat
We expect good batting conditions at the start, and the wicket will slow as the game progresses. The team batting first has had an edge in the last few games. The side winning the toss would look to bat first.
