NRW vs BNT Team Previews
Northern Warriors
The Northern Warriors began their campaign in style, winning the first two matches. However, the team has seen a dip in form in the last few days and has lost two matches on the trot.
Hazratullah Zazai is in good form at the top of the order and has scored 2 half-centuries in his last 3 matches. He will once again open the batting with Kennar Lewis, who is the second-highest run-scorer for the team. The middle order consists of James Neesham, Adam Hose, and Angelo Mathews.
However, none of them have made a significant contribution with the bat this season. The bowling has been one of the biggest strengths for the Warriors this season. Abhimanyu Mithun and Matthews are the leading wicket-takers with 7 wickets each, while James Neesham and Tabraiz Shamsi have picked up 5.
While the Warriors have a strong team, they will need to improve their batting if they want to get back to winning ways.
Northern Warriors Playing 11
Angelo Mathews, Hazratullah Zazai, Kennar Lewis, James Neesham, Adam Hose, Azmatullah Omarzai, Sultan Ahmed, Tabraiz Shamsi, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ziaur Rahman, Rahul Chopra.
Bangla Tigers
The Bangla Tigers have been rather inconsistent this season and have managed to win just 1 of the 3 matches played so far. Their latest loss came on Saturday when they were defeated by the Delhi Bulls in a low-scoring encounter.
The Tigers have a strong batting line-up, but it has proved to be one of the biggest weaknesses for the team. As many as 4 of the top 5 batsmen from Bangla Tigers were dismissed for 6 runs or less in the last match, with Chris Lynn and Dasun Shanaka getting out for a duck.
It was the second consecutive duck for Lynn, who was one of the top scorers in the previous season. Jordan Cox will be the key batsman for Bangla as he has scored 147 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 237.09. David Miller, Kusal Mendis, and Carlos Brathwaite are all clean strikers of the ball but they will need to get some runs here.
The Bangla Tigers have a bowling attack which is quite heavy on seam. Sams and Joshua Little have picked up 2 wickets each, while Benny Howell, Dominic Drakes, and Brathwaite have just 1 against their name.
Bangla Tigers Playing 11
Avishka Fernando, Jordan Cox, Kusal Mendis, David Miller, Dasun Shanaka, Daniel Sams, Carlos Brathwaite, Benny Howell, Dominic Drakes, Rohan Mustafa, Haider Ali, Joshua Little.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is good to bat on. The average score batting first is around 110. The pitch is on the drier side and the ball does hold up a bit. The spinners can expect some turn, especially if they hit the right areas. The surface seems to have slowed down a bit in the last couple of days. The weather is likely to be clear with no clouds.
The temperature will remain between 25 to 30 degrees. As there is plenty of humidity in the air, the dew might be a factor in the second half.
NRW vs BNT Betting Tips
Both teams are coming into this contest on the back of a loss. Looking at their inconsistent performance, none of the teams have a clear advantage. However, we feel that given their stronger batting unit, we feel that the Warriors might just end up on top.
Bet on the Northern Warriors to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Warriors are likely to open the batting with Kennar Lewis and Hazratullah Zazai, who are among the top run-getters for the team this season. On the other hand, Chris Lynn has struggled in all 3 matches played so far, and their highest partnership so far is 5. We are therefore backing the Warriors to put up a bigger partnership.
