Dubai Giants vs Punjabi Sher, L90, Reddy Anna Book Today Match Prediction

DUBG vs PUNS Reddy Anna Book Match Prediction & Analysis

Punjabi Sher are finally playing their first game of the tournament as they lock horns against Dubai Giants at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.

Punjabi Sher have some fine big-hitting players like Andre McCarthy, Jesse Ryder, and Kennar Lewis. They pack a strong punch in the bowling department as well with a host of all-rounders in the squad.

Dubai Giants finally tasted success after two successive defeats. Their batters rose to the occasion and chased down 139 runs quite comfortably. Brendan Taylor and skipper Richard Levi looked in great touch in their last couple of innings and are the key batters for Dubai Giants.

Punjabi Sher might consider bowling first in this game to allow themselves time to understand the pitch conditions better and give themselves a realistic chance of winning the match.

Dubai Giants Preview

Dubai Giants have played 3 matches so far and will be comfortable in this game taking on Punjabi Sher who are playing their first match of the tournament.

Richard Levi and Brendan Taylor seem to have found their rhythm and will be crucial in their respective batting positions in this lineup. Kevin O’Brien and Rahul Yadav are also very promising batters who’ve made a mark with some impressive knocks in their previous outings.

There is great potential in this lineup with a considerable depth that can come in handy in case of a collapse at the top. The bowlers have been pretty good except for that one game against the Chattisgarh Warriors where conceded 190+ bowling first.

Isuru Udana, Luke Fletcher, and Vikas Tokas are the in-form bowlers for Dubai Giants who’ve delivered consistently for the team. They also brought in Seekkuge Prasanna in the last game who bowled just one Over for 4 runs.

He will be another key bowler to watch out for. Though it is a batting-friendly wicket, bowlers have continued to give a tough fight and put the batter under pressure.

Dubai Giants Predicted Playing XI:

Richard Levi (c), Kevin O’Brien, Kithuruwan Vithanage, Brendan Taylor (wk), Luke Fletcher, Vikas Tokas, Iqbal Abdulla, Siddharth Trivedi, Seekkuge Prasanna, Deepansh Kumar, Udit Mohan

Punjabi Sher Preview Reddy Anna Book 

Like most other teams, Punjabi Sher also have some star players in their squad who’ve been the legends of the game in the recent past. From Andre McCarthy and Jesse Ryder to Kennar Lewis and all-rounder Robbie Frylinck, it is a star-studded lineup that promises a great outing in Raipur.

However, it is to be seen which overseas players make it to the XI on the match day. If all of these 4 are included in the batting lineup, Punjabi Sher will pose a tough challenge to the Giants.

Amid retired players, it is a good idea to include Ayaan Khan, a middle-order batsman and left-arm orthodox bowler from Oman who’s been a key player for the national team in recent times.

While Kyle Jarvis will lead the pace attack for PNS, Jon Russ Jaggesar will be the key spinner in this squad. There are a lot of spinners in this squad, especially overseas players.

Ishwar Pandey and Mohmad Arjudeen are the key pacers from India in this squad. We reckon the bowling attack will be composed of mostly all-rounders to allow depth in the batting order at the same time.

Punjabi Sher Predicted Playing XI:

Jesse Ryder (c), Andre McCarthy, Kennar Lewis (wk), Robbie Frylinck, Ayaan Khan, Himanshu Bishoni, Anand Singh, Jon Russ Jaggesar, Kyle Jarvis, Ishwar Pandey, Mohmad Arjudeen

Weather Conditions

DUBG vs PUNS Pitch Report Reddy Anna Book 

It is a great wicket for batting and the average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches is 164 runs. Teams have scored 190+ while batting first on this pitch and CW even crossed the 200-run mark in a 90-balls-per-side game. As such, the chasing team will have an advantage as they will know just what is required of their batters to win the game.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first have won 4 of the 9 matches played in this tournament so far. Yet, we believe bowling first is a sound strategy for both teams in this game. The Giants secured their first win of the season while chasing a target. Punjabi Sher would not be in a great position to put their batters on the crease against an in-form bowling attack in the 1st innings of the match. Bowling first should be the preferred option for both skippers.
