LLC 2023: Match 13, IC vs MNT Match Prediction – Who will win today’s LLC match between India Capitals vs Manipal Tigers?

Courtesy of winning two out of their three matches in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC), Manipal Tigers (MNT) are currently second on the points table. Even though they lost their last match to Southern Super Stars, the Harbhajan Singh-led side are in good form and will be confident before their match against India Capitals (IC) on December 2 in Visakhapatnam.

The Capitals, on the other hand, are in a spot of bother. They lost their opening two matches and won the third one but their fourth match was called off due to wet outfield. The Gautam Gambhir-led side desperately needs points to stay in the race for playoffs and hence, their match against Manipal will hold a lot of value.
