Manipal Tigers (MNT) square up against Gujarat Greats (GJG) in match No. 15 of the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024 at the Molana Azad Stadium in Jammu on Saturday, October 5.

Defending champions Manipal Tigers haven't been able to replicate their success from last season as they are yet to win their first match in LLC 2024. The Harbhajan Singh-led side has lost three matches while two of their games were abandoned due to rain. They are coming off a thrilling win against Toyam Hyderabad in the Super Over. The Tigers are languishing at No. 5 on the points table and would want to win their last two games to stake their claim for a spot in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Greats started their campaign with a comprehensive win against Hyderabad. However, they went on to lose back-to-back matches against Southern Super Stars and it derailed their campaign somewhat. Their most recent fixture against Hyderabad was abandoned due to rain. Gujarat are placed at No. 4 and a win on Saturday will help them move to the third spot by displacing India Capitals.
