DB vs BNT Team Previews
Delhi Bulls
The Delhi Bulls have been clinical in their performance this season and have won both the matches played so far. As a result, they have moved to the top of the points table, thanks to an excellent NRR.
The Delhi Bulls have a strong batting line-up at its disposal and that has helped the team put up match-winning totals in both matches so far. Rovman Powell and Johnson Charles have played well in both matches, while Quinton de Kock and James Vince are also strong performers with the bat.
Given the strength of the top order, the likes of Ravi Bopara and Dwayne Bravo haven’t had much to do. The Bulls will rely on its all-seam attack to deliver the goods. Naveen Ul-Haq is the leading wicket-taker with 3 wickets, while Fazalhaq Farooqi, Ravi Bopara, and Muhammad Rohid have picked up 2 wickets each.
The Bulls are severely lacking a quality spinner, and that can be a big weakness going ahead.
Delhi Bulls Playing 11
Dwayne Bravo, Fazalhaq Farooqi, James Vince, Naveen ul Haq, Quinton de Kock, Ravi Bopara, Richard Gleeson, Rilee Rossouw, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Rovman Powell, Usman Khan, Johnson Charles.
Bangla Tigers
The Bangla Tigers lost their opening fixture against the New York Strikers but came back strongly in the next game by defeating the Gladiators by 20 runs.
Jordan Cox played a brilliant innings in the last match, scoring 90 runs from just 36 balls to take his team to a massive total. He will be joined by Chris Lynn at the top of the order but the latter has struggled in both games. It is a similar story with Daniel Sams and David Miller.
Kusal Mendis has got good starts in both his innings and will now look to play a big knock in this match.
The bowling has been a big letdown so far as the Tigers have managed to pick up an aggregate of 5 wickets in 2 matches. The spinners, Haider Ali and Benny Howell have picked up 1 wicket each, while Sams and Dominic Drakes have picked up 3 wickets between them.
Carlos Braithwaite and Joshua Little have remained wicketless. The Tigers need to improve in all departments if they want to overcome an opposition like the Bulls.
Bangla Tigers Playing 11
Chris Lynn, Jordan Cox, Kusal Mendis, David Miller, Daniel Sams, Dasun Shanaka, Carlos Brathwaite, Benny Howell, Dominic Drakes, Rohan Mustafa, Abdul Ghaffar, Joshua Little.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is generally good to bat on and has seen an average first-inning score of around 110 runs, which is a par score. Since the ground has hosted quite a few matches in the past week, it appears to have slowed down a bit. There are some rough patches on the surface that can be exploited by both, the spinners as well as the seamers.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius.
DB vs BNT Betting Tips
While the Bangla Tigers have a quality team, they are yet to perform to their full potential this season. The batting has been a bit inconsistent, while the bowlers have struggled in both matches. On the other hand, the Delhi Bulls have played well so far and are likely to end on the top.
Bet on the Delhi Bulls to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Kusal Mendis is a quality player across formats. He has scored at least 19 runs in both his innings this season and appears to be in good touch. We are therefore backing him to play another good inning in this match.
The Bulls are likely to start with Quinton de Kock and Johnson Charles. De Kock scored a half-century in the opening match, while Johnson has done well in both his outings. On the other hand, Chris Lynn has struggled in both matches. We are therefore backing the Bulls to put up a bigger opening partnership.
