Abu Dhabi T10 League Cricket Match Prediction 2023 | Match 16 | Bangla Tigers vs Northern Warriors – Can the Northern Warriors beat the Bangla Tigers and return to a winning streak? | Dec 03
In their five meetings in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, the Bangla Tigers had a slim 3-2 advantage over the Northern Warriors. In their most recent meeting, which took place during the tournament’s group stage, the Warriors easily defeated the opposition with six wickets and four balls left to spare.
Northern Warriors, a completely different team than last time, started the competition with two straight wins before succumbing to two loses in their following two encounters. Bangla Tigers suffered a crushing setback at the hands of the New York Strikers and swiftly bounced back, defeating heavyweights Gladiators, but then ran into the surging Delhi Bulls, who utterly outplayed the Tigers with both bat and ball.
Both sides will be looking for the two points available in this encounter because a loss might derail their aspirations to go to the tournament’s business end.
Bangla Tigers vs Northern Warriors Team Preview & Squads
Bangla Tigers
On paper, the Bangla Tigers have one of the most offensive T10 batting squads in history, with Jordan Cox, Chris Lynn, David Miller, Kusal Mendis, and Carlos Brathwaite. Dashun Shanaka and Daniel Sams are also dangerous with the bat. When they’re in the zone, they can all hit the long ball and hit boundaries at will. But here’s the rub.
Sure, their batting lineup is lengthy, but they’ve been under siege for the most part and haven’t been able to tee off at will, except when Jordan Cox went on a tear against the Deccan Gladiators and took them to a massive total. Furthermore, the bowling team appears to be in disarray and has failed to capture wickets in the encounters, allowing their opponents to run away with the match.
Their biggest haul for a game so far is three wickets, indicating that they haven’t been able to put pressure on their opponents’ middle order. They are missing some extremely talented players, but they must make do with what they have. And they need to find the ideal combination of players to go out there and win games.

Benny Howell (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Chris Lynn, David Miller, Jordan Cox, Dasun Shanaka, Carlos Brathwaite, Dominic Drakes, Daniel Sams, Rohan Mustafa, Joshua Little, and Abdul Ghafar.
Northern Warriors
Northern Warriors would be kicking themselves for blowing a legitimate chance to beat The Chennai Braves, and they’re in a bit of trouble considering they need to win a few games in a row. However, the Warriors will have high expectations for this game against an inferior opponent. They’ll aim to snag the two points on offer here before squaring off against stronger clubs in the Deccan Gladiators and Delhi Bulls.
Their bowling attack is anything but star-studded, but they get the job done, particularly Abhimanyu Mithun, Angelo Matthews, and Tabraiz Shamsi, who have 19 wickets between them in four games. They’ve figured out how to get the better of the opposing batsmen and are putting it to good use. While their bowling team appears to be capable of getting wickets, their batting unit has been hit or miss in the last two games.
They haven’t been able to break the 110-run mark despite coming dangerously near twice. Their batters take their time getting their eyes in, and the innings is almost over before they are ready to go all-out assaulting. They leave a lot of runs on the table as a club, and it would assist their cause if they could string together some 20-run or 25-run overs in the later innings.
Northern Warriors Squads
Northern Warriors
Angelo Mathews (c), Kaunain Abbas (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Adam Hose, Kennar Lewis, James Neesham, Ziaur Rahman, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Chopra, Tabraiz Shamsi, Abhimanyu Mithun, and Sultan Ahmed.

If the Bangla Tigers win the toss, they may request a bat from the Northern Warriors. After setting totals thus far, the Bangla Tigers may be interested to watch how their batting performs when chasing a goal. The Warriors’ chasing effort against Team Abu Dhabi was not in vain, so they wouldn’t mind batting second either.
This evening’s game will take place in milder conditions, with temperatures anticipated to range between 25 and 30 degrees. There is no threat of rain.
With considerable pace in the wicket, we may expect another high score on this surface in this match. Speed off bowling, particularly top-level spin, will be able to limit scoring.
