INDC vs MANT Team Previews
India Capitals
The defending champions have looked a shadow of their former self and has managed to win just 1 of the 4 matches played so far. The Capitals are currently 5th on the points table and as this is the last group-stage match for them, they will need to win here to remain in the race for the play-offs.
Ricardo Powell is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 126 runs. However, barring his century against the Southern Superstars, he has been a bit inconsistent. He will open the batting alongside Gautam Gambhir, who isn’t in the best of forms.
It is a similar story with the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Ben Dunk, and Gnaneswara Rao. In such a case, Kirk Edwards is a vital cog in the middle order and has been consistently scoring runs.
Coming to the bowling, Isuru Udana and Rusty Theron make up for a potent attack with the new ball and have picked up 11 wickets between them. However, the other bowlers, particularly the spinners, have failed to give them good support.
Pravin Tambe has just 1 wicket in 3 matches, while Ashley Nurse has 2. The Capitals will need to iron out these weaknesses if they want to take on an opposition like the Tigers.

Manipal Tigers
The Manipal Tigers made a strong start to their campaign as they won the first two matches on the trot. They did lose their latest fixture against the Southern Superstars. However, with two more matches to play, they are comfortably placed in the 2nd spot on the table.
Robin Uthapa and S Badrinath are likely to start the proceedings with the bat. Uthapa has already scored a half-century earlier this season and will look to emulate that. However, it is Hamilton Masakadza who will be the player to watch out for.
Masakadza has scored at least 25 runs in each of the 3 innings played and will be a vital cog for the team in the middle order. The Manipal Tigers are also home to some quality all-rounders like Thisara Perera and Colin de Grandhomme, who add depth to the batting.
The bowling has been one of the biggest strengths for the Tigers. Skipper Harbhajan Singh has been brilliant with the ball, and has an economy rate of just 2.90, and has picked up 4 wickets. Parvinder Awana and Imran Khan are among the top wicket-takers of the tournament with 6 wickets each, while Praveen Gupta has 3.

INDC vs MANT Betting Tips
The India Capitals have looked out of depth this season and have struggled to perform in almost all departments. The batting has been rather inconsistent and except for Udana and Theron, the bowling hasn’t been that effective. On the other hand, the Manipal Tigers have performed well and are likely to end up on top in this match.
Bet on the Manipal Tigers to win.
