World Giants vs India Maharajas Match Prediction

World Giants vs India Maharajas Team Previews

World Giants

The World Giants have simply been outstanding in the tournament and looked potent on winning this championship as well. World Giants have one of the strongest bowling units in the competition, with Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir, Darren Samy, and Monty Panesar ready, but they haven’t been able to use it effectively in the two matches thus far. On the standings, they are presently tied with the Maharajas, with just the net run rate separating the two. World Giants have looked a little shaky thus far in the competition, with their regular hitters at the plate not performing enough. We witnessed Imran Tahir win the day for them in their previous encounter with the Maharajas, and we think it will work again. If the Giants can improve their batting performance, they will be a difficult team to beat in the tournament. The World Giants lost their first match of the tournament but quickly turned things around, winning their next two. In their recent game, they easily trounced the Asia Lions. It is a must-win game for the India Maharajas, while the World Giants must avoid a large margin of defeat or they would be eliminated from the tournament.

India Maharajas

Many of the initial players selected to play for India Maharajas pulled out of the competition for multiple reasons. The Maharajas entered the competition with no genuine well regarded superstars of the game, and they have astonished everyone with their exemplary work in both sectors. The first-choice team was without Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, and Virender Sehwag. The India Maharajas have been hot and cold throughout the competition, and now is the moment for them to come back to their finest. Up till now, their pitching has done well for them, but their batting has plainly fallen short. We’ve seen them allow the two lowest scores of the season when bowling first, but their batters just couldn’t win the game against the Lions in the final encounter. We anticipate them to return strengthened with the likes of Naman Ojha and Irfan Pathan, which will bring some stability to the team. They obviously bat long, which may be a significant benefit. It all depends on how their batsmen perform in this forthcoming encounter, and if Yusuf Pathan and Naman Ojha get going, maintaining the Maharajas quiet would be a difficult challenge.
