GSL 2024: Final, VIC vs RAR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s GSL match between Victoria vs Rangpur Riders?
MATCH: Victoria vs Rangpur Riders
DATE: December 07,Saturday
TIME:4:30 am IST
VENUE: Providence Stadium, Guyana
TOURNAMENT: Final
Teams Victoria (VIC) and Rangpur Riders (RAR) will face off in the Final of the Global Super League (GSL 2024), at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Saturday, December 7. Rangpur Riders won by 23 runs (DLS method) against Lahore Qalandars to meet the Victoria in the final. On the other hand, Victoria won by 75 runs against Hampshire to seal their final berth.
Victoria were clinical in their conduct on the field throughout the tournament as they won three of their four games. Their only loss came against Lahore Qalandars as they lost to them by 10 runs. On the other hand, Riders won just two games out of four to reach the finals. Notably, their two losses came against Hampshire and Victoria.
The Providence Stadium pitch will assist batters at the start and spinners might come into play as the pitch turns slow in the second half of the game. On the other hand, pacers will find relatively less bounce here. Therefore, they will have to depend on bowling the tight lines. Having said it, the Captain winning the toss in the final of the tournament will look to bowl first with an aim to have the target in sight. As a result, this will aid the team batting second to have a calculated run chase
Head-to-Head Record
The upcoming encounter will be only the second time these sides will be facing each other. Victoria emerged victorious in the first face-off in the ongoing inaugural Global Super League competition.
