Nagpur Ninjas and Patna Warriors are set to face each other in Match No. 5 of the KhiladiX Legends Cricket Trophy 2023 on Friday, March 24. The match will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Ghaziabad.

The Ninjas, led by Harbhajan Singh, haven’t made the best of starts to the tournament. They are placed fifth in the table with a net run rate of -3.000. The Ninjas lost to the Vizag Titans by one run on Thursday, March 23.

After opting to bat first, the Titans put up a challenging target of 190 for their opponents to chase down. Richard Levi scored 94 runs off 44 balls with seven fours and eight sixes, but couldn’t save his team from a defeat.

The Warriors have a strong squad at their disposal. Manvinder Bisla and Robin Uthappa should open the batting. Uthappa is fresh from playing some decent knocks for the India Maharajas in the LLC in Doha and is in good form.

Rikki Clarke brings in a lot of experience after plying his trade on the English domestic circuit for several years. Chris Mpofu, Farvez Maharaoof and Pragyan Ojha form a potent bowling attack for the Warriors.
