LLC 2022: GJG vs BHK Match 9 Prediction - Who will win today’s match?

With just one win in their bag, Bhilwara Kings are at the bottom of the table. Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, have already won two of their games and with a win on Tuesday, 27th of September, they can very well move to the top of the table. Thus, the match at the Barabati Stadium will be a cracker of a contest as both teams are eyeing to improve their place at the table.

Bhilwara Kings, led by Irfan Pathan lose to Manipal Tigers by just three runs on Monday. Yusuf Pathan once again looked brilliant with both batting and bowling but that wasn’t enough for the Kings to get the win. Chasing 172, the batters lose wickets at regular intervals and that’s one reason why Bhilwara failed to gain momentum. Tino Best, the speedster picked up three wickets with the ball while Yusuf picked two.

Like Bhilwara, Gujarat too lost their last match against India capitals. Despite Tilakratne Dilshan’s 75 off 59 deliveries, the team could only put 152 runs on board after 20 overs. The bowlers failed to defend the score as the capitals chased it down with seven balls left. Former Sri Lanka international Ajantha Mendis picked up two wickets for the side.

GJG vs BHK Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Yusuf Pathan has been one of the best players in the Legends League cricket. The 39-year-old scored 100 runs in the three matches that he played but most importantly, it’s his aggressive batting that’s helping Bhilwara to put pressure on the opposition. With him being on the crease, any target is chasable and his impact with a bowl in his hand is also creating a difference.

Probable best bowler

Fidel Edwards has done very well so far in the tournament. With five wickets in his bag, the West Indian is fourth on the list of most wickets in the tournament. He has been expensive on quite a few occasions but his impact with the ball but being a pacer, he has shown great strength with the ball in the death.
