Saturday and Sunday will witness doubleheaders. The Saturday doubleheader will see Halar Heroes taking on Zalawad Royals which will be the fifth match of the competition, followed by the 6th game between Sorath Lions and Kutch Warriors.
Halar Heroes are currently leading the points table after two wins from two games. They defeated the Kutch Warriors by 24 runs in their opening game and then went onto defeat Gohilwad Gladiators by 19 runs.
Meanwhile, Zalawad Royals led by Indian Test batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara suffered a defeat in their opening game against Sorath Lions by 8 wickets. They will be squaring off against Gohilwad Gladiators prior to this game which will be played on May 17th.
The Saurashtra Cricket Stadium’s pitch generally has some grass cover on it. With the match to be played in the evening, the surface won’t assist the spinners much and the batsmen will be able to score freely.
