As the Legends League Cricket 2022 moves to Cuttack, the eighth match of the tournament between the sides in the bottom half of the table assumes great importance. The last fixtures of these teams - Manipal Tigers and Bhilwara Kings - were washed out in Delhi.

Both these teams played in Lucknow where they lost to their respective opponents. So, it’s about survival for these sides. The last time these two sides met each other, it turned out to be a final over victory for the Kings.

Manipal Tigers were supposed to face Gujarat Giants but that match was washed out. Bhilwara Kings dealt with the same outcome in their last game, against India Capitals.

Tigers are still searching for their first victory of the Legends League Cricket 2022. Against them are the Kings who have one win out of three, the sole victory coming against the Tigers itself, thanks to Fidel Edwards taking a four-wicket haul in that match.

Since then, they have played one match against the India Capitals where they were outperformed by that team. Their other match since than was washed out.

Probable XI

S Shukla, Swapnil Asnodkar, CJ Anderson, Mohammad Kaif, T Taibu, Pardeep Sahu, S Shukla, Harbhajan Singh (c), RJ Sidebottom, Christopher Mpofu, Parwinder Awana, Muttiah Murlitharan

Naman Ojha (wk), William Porterfield/Shane Watson, Nick Compton, Matt Prior, T Srivastava, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan (c), Dinesh Salunkhe, Tino Best, Fidel Edwards/S Sreesanth, Monty Panesar


Manipal Tigers vs Bhilwara Kings Match Predictions

Manipal Tigers lack the batting strength whereas Kings have most of their bases covered in the Legends League Cricket. And if Watson is back with the Kings, they are stronger than Tigers. Still, with this current line-up, Kings start as favorites.

Prediction: Bhilwara Kings to win this contest
