The Gujarat Giants will be taking on the Southern Super Stars in the 14th match of the Legends League Cricket 2023. This high-octane contest will be played at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

The Gujarat Giants’ last game was also abandoned due to rain. They lost their opening game to the Manipal Tigers but turned the tables around quickly to win their next two. They beat the Urbanrisers Hyderabad in a thriller of a contest in their third outing.

The Giants came riding with confidence in their fourth fixture but they didn’t get any chance to take the field as persistent rain resulted in the game being abandoned without a single ball.

The Southern Super Stars got off to a terrible start to their maiden appearance in the league. They lost their first two games but managed to grab their first win in their third fixture. They beat the Manipal Tigers to open their account.

The Super Stars hoped to carry the winning momentum forward but the rain played a spoilsport. They did a decent job of restricting the Bhilwara Kings to 117/6 at the end of 17 overs before rain arrived and washed out the game. They will be hoping to grab two points on Sunday.
