Abu Dhabi T10 League Cricket Match Prediction 2023 | Match 26 | The Chennai Braves vs Bangla Tigers – Chennai Braves will be able to get out of the losing streak? | Dec 07
On Thursday, this matchup kicks off the final trio of group-stage encounters in the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. It would take a huge swing for The Chennai Braves to break into the top four, but weirder things have happened, and net-run rates can be modified!
Bangla Tigers have not lost consecutive matches this season and have no intention of doing so in this encounter. Even a win in this game does not guarantee them a place in the knockout stage. One thing is certain: both teams must defeat the other, and the larger the victory, the better.
Chennai Braves vs Bangla Tigers Team Preview & Squads
Chennai Braves
The Chennai Braves have been defeated in four of their past five matches in the tournament. The Chennai Braves are only two points behind the Delhi Bulls in fourth place, but a significant net run rate swing will be necessary if they hope to finish in the top four and hope the Bulls lose their last game. On Wednesday, the Braves fell to the New York Strikers by a score of five wickets.
Before the game against the New York Strikers, Jason Roy moved down the order and ended up being the tournament’s top run scorer despite his struggles to follow up his outstanding first inning. In this game, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Sikandar Raza will be crucial at bat.
The towering West Indian left-armer Obed McCoy has been underwhelmed with his performances in the competition this year, so it wouldn’t be shocking if he wasn’t picked for this match. Sam Cook and Junaid Siddique, who bat first, have both consistently taken wickets.
Chennai Braves Squads
The Chennai Braves
Charith Asalanka (c), Kai Smith (wk), George Munsey, Jason Roy, Kobe Herft, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Sikandar Raza, Sam Cook, Mohammad Nabi, Aayan Afzal Khan, and Junaid Siddique.
Bangla Tigers
With their loss on Tuesday, the Bangla Tigers snapped a two-game winning streak and have now dropped two of their past four games. Bangla Tigers are in fifth place going into their last group stage match; however, they are only two points behind Deccan Gladiators in third and level on points with Delhi Bulls in fourth. Thus, a decisive victory in this game could ensure their safe passage to the next round.
After being dismissed for just 82, Bangla Tigers were defeated by Morrisville Samp Army in their most recent encounter on Tuesday. It was expected that Jordan Cox would lead the team in scoring given he has been their primary run scorer the whole tournament. In this match, the Englishman will be crucial at the top of the order.
In whatever format of the game, trying to contain a target of 83 is never simple, and in Match 20, Bangla Tigers never seemed to have a chance to halt Samp Army. After taking a wicket apiece in their most recent match, Haider Ali, Carlos Brathwaite, Benny Howell, and Rohan Mustafa will all be feeling optimistic.

Bangla Tigers
Benny Howell (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Avishka Fernando, Jordan Cox, Dominic Drakes, Pathum Nissanka, Dasun Shanaka, Carlos Brathwaite, Daniel Sams, Rohan Mustafa, and Haider Ali.
When the captains win the toss in this event, they continue to opt to field first, but we can see both teams wanting to bat first so they can attempt to record a massive total before skittling the opposition to earn that big net-run-rate swing!
There will be no rain in Abu Dhabi on Thursday afternoon, but the sun will shine, and the temperature will be a comfortable 25-26 degrees throughout the match. We have certainly seen the pace of the wicket slow down ahead of the last day of the group stage of this year’s Abu Dhabi T10, and bowlers of all speeds are getting greater help from the surface.
