TEAMS PREVIEW

Jaanbaaz Kota Challengers Preview

Jaanbaaz Kota Challengers were set to be the team to watch out for right from the get-go, but with such an average display in the first game, they will definitely not be happy with their performance.

After losing the toss and being put into bat first, the batting department got off to a decent start. All batsmen got off to good starts but could not capitalise and turn it into a huge score. Ending up with a disappointing total of 133 for 7, they will want to rectify that. Rajat Chapparwal was the top scorer with 40 runs.

The bowling department had a huge task of restricting the opposition, but with such a low score, thighs were already quite difficult. In the end not being able to pick up quick wickets really hurt them and they lost the game by 6 wickets. Himanshu Nehra was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets off 7 runs.

Key Players: Himanshu Nehra, Deepak Hooda, Himanshu Sharma, Rajat Chapparwal

The Shekhawati Soldiers Sikar won the toss and opted to field first. They got off to a brilliant start picking up early wickets but could not capitalise as they leaked a few runs in the death overs.

JKC vs SWS Pitch Report

The Barkatullah Khan Stadium in Jodhpur has a crowd capacity of around 30,000 people. The stadium has not hosted a lot of matches but is a decent batting wicket but looks much better to bat second.

Toss: To Bowl

The team that will win the toss would opt to bowl first. As this stadium will host all games of the tournament Teams will look to make use of the pitch while it is fresh and will remain true until it starts deteriorating which makes it easier to bat second.
