Northern Warriors will be challenging the consistent Strikers in a do-or-die match. With only two games left in their campaign before the business end of the T10 League starts, the Warriors are at number 4 with 4 points from 5 games.
The maximum they can achieve is 9 points. While this does not guarantee a berth in the playoffs, this would keep them alive in the race. New York Strikers, at number 3, will be looking to climb a few places up in the table.
They have the momentum and the bowling strength to stop the Warriors’ juggernaut. The Warriors’ batting against the Strikers’ bowling will be the contest to watch out for in this match.
The top 4 batters in the Warriors' lineup have scored at a strike rate of more than 200 in their last two wins. Whereas, New York Strikers have been consistent with their bowling and managed to defend 110 and 99 runs totals in their recent outings.
Kieron Pollard and co. have been the dominant side in the T10 League so far. When a team manages to defend a total of under 100 runs in this format, they are not to be taken lightly.
The variety in the bowling attack allows Pollard to quickly change plans to adapt to the situation in the game. And the fact that his key players are consistent adds more to their strength.
In their last game against Morrisville where only Azam Khan and Stirling had double-digit scores, the Strikers lost momentum towards the end of their innings.
They finished with just 110 for 8 and given the opposition’s batting depth, it should not have been enough. But Paul Stirling, Ravi Rampaul, and Kieron Pollard had other plans.
All the bowlers chipped in with crucial contributions and secured a 12-run win. Though Stirling is not a regular bowler, to have him as a bowling option makes a big difference for the skipper.
In the top order, Stirling is joined by Andre Fletcher and Eoin Morgan. All of the top 4 batters seem to have the same approach. They know they can hit the long ball and they play with full intent. Azam Khan and Pollard at 4 and 5 add more strength to this star-studded batting order.

Rovman Powell has got his team back on track with two wins from their last two matches. They’ve found much-needed momentum with these wins.
Warriors need to win both of their remaining matches to stay alive in the race to the playoffs. The top 4 batters in the lineup have found their touch and are making match-winning contributions.
The uncapped wicket-keeper batsman from Pakistan Usman Khan scored 64 off 24 balls in the last game after opening the innings alongside Adam Lyth.
After failing to deliver at number 3 in previous games, the attacking batsman made full use of the promotion to the top.
Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford in the middle order are also key to Northern Warriors’ success. The skipper is a reliable batsman in the limited-overs format and will be one to watch out for.
In their win over Bangla Tigers chasing a target of 118 runs, Powell scored an unbeaten 76 off 28 balls at number 3. The batting order is deep and that allows the top and middle-order batters to play a more aggressive brand of cricket.
There are batters like Adam Hose, Mark Deyal, Isuru Udana, and Wayne Parnell in the lower order. While Udana and Parnell are the key players in the Warriors’ bowling attack, they can hit the long ball and deliver quickfire innings in the death if need be.

The pitch is batting-friendly with an even and consistent bounce on offer which the batters can exploit to their advantage. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 30 degrees Celsius
Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will be the venue for this match. It is a batting-friendly ground that has witnessed many big scores in the T10 League.
The recent results show that there is no particular advantage in batting or bowling first. Warriors have successfully chased and defended a total in their last two outings. The same goes for New York Strikers. But the batting power and the current form would tempt the captains to opt to bowl first.
It promises to be a close contest looking at the current form of both teams. The batting is top notch with many players raising their hands when the team needs a match-winning performance. New York Strikers have a bit more variety and experience in their bowling attack and under Pollard’s captaincy, they would have an edge in this contest. Strikers will start as favourites in our match prediction.
