TEAMS PREVIEW

Barpeta Braves Preview

After struggling in their first two games and losing badly, Denish Das and his men finally found their form in the last game. The team bowled brilliantly to defend a low total against the Tezpur Titans, winning by 10 runs. This win has kept the team's hopes alive for a berth in the next round. Das expects a strong performance from his players to build on this momentum. 

Batting has been the worrying factor for the team, with no batter showing consistency. Saurav Dihingia's strike rate of less than 100 is hurting the team, and he must up the ante and deliver a positive start with Kabir Hasan. Denish Das, Kunal Sharma, and Bikiran Das must do well in the middle order. The team expects quick runs from Abhilash Maurya and Arun Sonar in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack set up the win in the last game. Shubham Kumar Gupta looks in good form with 5 wickets in the tournament and must do the early damage along with Rajesh Prasad. Kunal Sharma and Maurya must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. Arun Sonar and Dipjyoti Saikia's performance will be crucial in the supporting roles. 

Interesting Stats

1. Saurav Dihingia has made 55 runs in three games at a strike rate of 93.22 
2. Shubham Kumar Gupta has picked up 5 wickets in two games at an average of 13.00

Nagaon Rangers Preview

Anurag Talukdar's team lost against the Guwahati Royals by 5 wickets. It was their second loss in three games, with the third being washed away by rain. The side batted well in the last game, but the bowling attack failed to play a complementary role. Talukdar expects a strong comeback from the team to keep hopes alive for the next round. 

Ruhinandan Pegu and Jitu Ali are out of form, and the team expects them to deliver a good start in this important game. Sumit Kashyap is the leading scorer this season with 68 runs and must build partnerships in the middle order with Anurag Talukdar and Abhijot Singh Sidhu. Bishal Roy, Dhruv Borah and Bhargav Dutta must add quick runs in the lower middle order. 

Sunil Lachit and Rahul Singh have struggled with their form, and the team expects early wickets from them. Akshay Deka has picked up 6 wickets in the tournament and must deliver a strong show in the middle overs with Rahul Singh. Abhijot Singh Sidhu and Sumit Kashyap must do well in the supporting roles.  

Interesting Stats

1.  Sumit Kashyap has made 68 runs in three games at a strike rate of 117.24

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect overcast conditions in Guwahati, with possible rain interruptions. The temperature will be around 27°C at the start of the game, and we expect the humidity to be around 79%. The batting surface will be a bit more challenging than we have seen in the past.

BBS vs NRS Pitch Report

Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. The average first-innings score in the tournament is 143 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 170 on the board. 

Toss: To Bowl

The conditions are challenging for the batters in the Power Play, but ease in the second half. The side chasing the score has won ten out of the last fifteen games at this venue. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this track.
