Murali Vijay
Murali Vijay spent some valuable time in the middle in RTW’s previous game and looked like his old self with some of his shots. He is still a solid batter, and his aggression and control were on display in the previous game. If his vintage touch is indeed back, Murali Vijay will be a dangerous prospect for the opposition, given his ability to change a game in a matter of minutes.
Narayan Jagdeeshan
Narayan Jagdeeshan is a prolific run-scorer in domestic cricket. With his side struggling for consistency with the bat, the responsibility on Jagdeeshan rises. His side will be hoping that he finds his control and consistency as they need him to score badly if they are to make an impact in this tournament.
Both teams are at sensitive stages early in the tournament, but early performances suggest that RTW is in a good position. With their players providing better contributions across two games, RTW has more players in good touch and that could make a difference.
Match Prediction: RTW will win the match.
