Indian Royals have put together a well-balanced team filled with familiar names, ready to thrive in home conditions. Shikhar Dhawan is expected to lead the charge with the bat. Although he announced his retirement last year, his recent performances suggest he still has plenty to contribute. In the Nepal Premier League, he racked up 136 runs in four games while maintaining a strike rate of 122.52, making him a key asset at the top.
Faiz Fazal is likely to partner Dhawan and provide a steady hand if required. The middle order includes players with plenty of experience, such as Manoj Tiwary, Suresh Raina, and Subramaniam Badrinath. Raina, in particular, has been a match-winner in T20s, capable of taking control in the middle overs.
Munaf Patel and Manpreet Gony will lead the fast-bowling unit, with Anureet Singh bringing additional firepower and a knack for early wickets. Spin responsibilities will fall on Shadab Jakati and Yogesh Nagar, both of whom could prove useful on surfaces that assist slower bowlers.

Bangladesh Tigers have put together a well-balanced squad capable of competing with any team when they hit their stride. Tamim Iqbal is expected to lead the side, bringing his experience and consistency to the top order. The left-handed batter, who was one of Bangladesh’s most dependable players before retiring, remains a key figure. He has the ability to set the tone early, and we expect him to play a big role in shaping the innings.
In the batting lineup, players like Mohammad Ashraful, Nadif Chowdhury, and Mehedi Maruf add depth and have the potential to make an impact. Ariful Haque, known for his power-hitting, can deliver valuable cameos in the lower middle order, while Shuvagata Hom is another player who can chip in with quick runs when needed.
Rubel Hossain and Shafiul Islam will be the ones to watch with the new ball, tasked with making early inroads. Meanwhile, Elias Sunny and Jubair Hossain provide spin options that could be effective on this surface.

Miraj International Cricket Stadium in Udaipur, Rajasthan is a brand new stadium so nit much is known about its character. However, like most Indian surfaces it’s likely to be a good batting wicket with unexpected bounce under floodlights. The surface will likely offer early assistance to pacers with a tacky feel that transforms to dusty patches as night deepens. The clay-rich soil can create unpredictable turn after 10 overs, while evening desert winds across the open-ended east side affect might slower deliveries considerably.
The weather in Udaipur will be clear and pleasant during the game with no chance of any rain disrupting the play.
Since this is a brand-new stadium, no prior records exist. However, we believe a target of around 180 runs will be challenging here, as is common on most Indian grounds.
Chasing is usually the better option in T20s these days, especially in night games and that's what we feel both teams would like to do in this game.
Indian Royals stand as clear frontrunners against Bangladesh Tigers in this matchup. The home turf gives them a distinct edge, as they understand how to exploit these conditions to their benefit. Plus, their roster contains more seasoned stars who, though retired from international cricket, have kept their skills sharp by participating in various leagues worldwide. The Bangladesh players, in contrast, likely lack match practice and will probably show signs of rustiness. For these reasons, we expect Indian Royals to control this game from start to finish.
Back Indian Royals as the winners of this clash.
