International T20 League

Match 18: GG vs MIE

Preview

GG, led by James Vince, are currently positioned at the top of the points table with 9 points to their name with a net run rate of +1.451. Their most recent encounter, on January 25th was called off due to rain. Prior to that, they lost to SW by 21 runs. 

After opting to bowl first, they restricted a potent SW batting lineup to 151 for 7. Chris Jordan was the pick of the GG bowlers. He ended the game with impressive match figures of 3/25. GG batters however failed to get going and were eventually bundled out for 130. 

MIE, led by Kieron Pollard, are placed at the bottom of the league standings with 6 points and a net run rate of +0.340. After starting the tournament brightly with 3 wins in 3 games, MIR have seemed to have lost their momentum as they suffered two back to back defeats in their next two matches. 

MIE are coming into this match on the back of a 7 wicket loss against DV. After being asked to bat first, MIE made 169 runs in their 20 overs. DV comfortably chased down the target with 21 balls to spare.
