TCB vs NRW Team Previews

Chennai Braves

The Braves started their campaign with one win and two successive defeats. They beat Team Abu Dhabi before losing to the Samp Army and Delhi Bulls. Chennai were heavily outplayed by the Bulls, especially with the bat, and have a quick turnaround time between that loss and this match.

Jason Roy is Chennai's leading run-scorer in this tournament with 85 in two innings. But 84 of those came in one. He needs stronger support, which is available - but not yet forthcoming - from Mohammad Nabi, Kobe Herft, Stephen Eskinazi and others.

Junaid Siddique has emerged as the Braves' leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far with four, while Nabi, Sam Cook and Obed McCoy have two each. West Indian fast bowler McCoy is a big asset for the Braves, while spin-wise South African Imran Tahir is their standout.

There has been a lot of expectation around the Braves' prospects, but they are not meeting these - yet. They will be challenged against a formidable Northern Warriors outfit. It's going to take a complete team effort from Chennai to overcome Saturday's opposition.

Northern Warriors

The Warriors' campaign started with wins over the Samp Army and Team Abu Dhabi before suffering defeat at the hands of the New York Strikers. The Warriors, too, have a quick turnaround - and an opportunity to move to the top of the table with an additional two points.

Hazratullah Zazai and Colin Munro are their top run-scorers this season with 89 and 80, respectively. Munro's strike rate is almost 200, while Kennar Lewis has also been putting in valuable contributions at the top of the order. The Warriors, meanwhile, have a world-class all-rounder in Angelo Mathews.

Mathews is their leading wicket-taker this season. He has collected six wickets in three matches, bowling cleverley in trying circumstances. Jimmy Neesham and Tabraiz Shamsi have offered Mathews solid support, while Abhimanyu Mithun remains a wicket-taking threat 12 years since playing his last Test for India.

The Warriors, evidently, are among the genuine title contenders. Win here - and they will show just why they can be considered serious rivals to reigning champions Deccan Gladiators. But the challenge won't be straightforward and easy against a Chennai unit eager to bounce back from recent defeat to the Bulls.

TCB vs NRW Toss Prediction

Nine of the first 11 matches of the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 saw the team that won the toss choose to bowl first. The two teams that opted to bat first lost the match.

This time, again, the team to win the toss will almost certainly elect to bowl first. Sides generally prefer to chase, not set, targets in this short format.

Pitch and Conditions

This will be the last match of Saturday's triple-header at the Zayed Cricket Stadium. If the same pitch is used for all three matches, it might be a bit slower than usual. A first-innings total of 110 should be competitive.

The Zayed Cricket Stadium has relatively short square boundaries. It is well worth playing two specialist slow bowlers in these conditions.

The weather forecast shows no rain in Abu Dhabi on matchday. Expect hot, humid and dry conditions.

TCB vs NRW Betting Tips

The Northern Warriors look the best placed to win this match. They have momentum, which Chennai are struggling for. 

The Warriors' strong batting resources will be tough to outdo. Chennai are looking light among their bowling department.

Bet on the Warriors to win this match as 1.90 favourites. The Braves are priced as 2.10 underdogs.
