TEAMS PREVIEW

Bangla Tigers Preview

The Tigers have had two straight losses, and skipper Shakib Al Hasan shall be aiming for a win here. They failed to grab their opportunities with the bat and the ball in the last game against The Chennai Braves and lost by 33 runs. Hasan must lead from the front and guide his side to a win as they struggle in the bottom half of the points table.  

Hazratullah Zazai and Evin Lewis haven't played to their potential and must deliver a solid start in this game. The side would look for runs from Iftikhar Ahmed, Colin Munro, and Ben Cutting in the middle order. They have good hitters to follow in Benny Howell, Shakib Al Hasan, and Yasir Kaleem.  

The bowling attack needs to make good use of the conditions, and the side would need good spells from Rohan Mustafa and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury in this game. Shakib and Howell must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Cutting and Matheesha Pathirana shall have to do well in the supporting act.  

Bangla Tigers Predicted Playing XI:

Shakib Al Hasan (c), Hazratullah Zazai, Evin Lewis, Colin Munro, Ben Cutting, Yasir Kaleem (wk), Benny Howell, Iftikhar Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Rohan Mustafa

Bangla Tigers Actual Playing XI:

Iftikhar Ahmed, Benny Howell, Ben Cutting, Mohammad Amir, Hazratullah Zazai, Colin Munro, Rohan Mustafa, Shakib Al Hasan, Joe Clarke, Umair Ali, Evin Lewis

Northern Warriors* Preview

It has been three losses in a row for Rovman Powell's side. The skipper would be upset with his batters who failed to put runs on the board against Team Abu Dhabi in the last game losing by 8 wickets. It is their last chance to stay in the hunt for the playoffs, and the side will have to play to its potential.  

Adam Lyth and Kennar Lewis haven't looked in form, and the side would need them to deliver the goods here. Powell has to do well in the middle order and make runs along with Usman Khan and Sherfane Rutherford. Abhimanyu Mithun and Isuru Udana shall have to use the long handle in the lower middle order where the side has failed to add quick runs.  

Their bowlers did well defending the small total in the last game, but they need early wickets from Mohammad Irfan and Gus Atkinson. Mithun needs to check his length and bowl tighter overs. The side would expect a good show from Udana and Rayad Emrit, as their opponents have a strong batting line-up.

Northern Warriors* Predicted Playing XI:

Rovman Powell (c), Kennar Lewis (wk), Adam Lyth, Sherfane Rutherford, Usman Khan, Abhimanyu Mithun, Junaid Siddique, Mohammad Irfan, Gus Atkinson, Isuru Udana, Rayad Emrit

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It would be a hot and humid afternoon in Abu Dhabi on November 27. The ball isn't doing much, and bowlers have had a tough time. We have seen flat wickets where the ball has come to the bat nicely. The side batting first would need 130 on the board to feel safe on this wicket.

Venue Details

Sheikh Zayed Stadium has also been a high-scoring venue as the outfield is quick, and the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers have to depend on their variations as there is hardly any assistance. Spinners have enjoyed a good record since the ball takes a sharp turn and stops on the batsmen.

Toss: To Bat

Only twice in the last ten games as a side chased down the score in this tournament. Sides batting first are always at an advantage in this format. Hence, the toss would be crucial, and the team winning the toss shall opt to bat first in the game.
