BNT vs NYS Match Preview
The Bangla Tigers have a formidable batting line-up, boasting the likes of Robin Uthappa, Jordan Cox, Chris Lynn, and David Miller. Lynn proved himself as one of the top scorers for Team Abu Dhabi in the previous season, while Cox and Miller are known for their destructive batting in the shortest format.
Furthermore, Kusal Mendis, who showcased good form during the recent ODI World Cup, is also expected to join the squad. The team also possesses a wealth of quality all-rounders, including Carlos Braithwaite, who was the leading wicket-taker and run-scorer for the Chennai Braves last season, along with Dominic Drakes, Benny Howell, and Daniel Sams.
In terms of the seam attack, the Tigers have the likes of Shannon Gabriel, Josh Little, and Abdul Ghaffar. However, their spin department may be a weakness, as Rohan Mustafa is the only available option.

Weather Report
The weather will be clear with temperatures of between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Abu Dhabi is generally good to bat on and we can expect a high-scoring encounter. A score of around 100 is a par score. There is a good amount of pace and bounce on offer allowing the batsmen to play their shots. However, the pitch does slow down a bit as the match progresses and brings the spinners into play.
Notable stats
Akeil Hosein: Underrated Gem
Akeal Hosein has picked up 10 wickets in his last 10 matches at a strike rate of 9.60. His economy rate is pretty good too, at 6.25 runs per over.

Dream11 Prediction
We feel that the Bangla Tigers will start this match as the favorites to win. They have defeated the New York Strikers once in the last season and have the quality of players to do so again. Also, the New York Strikers were a bit rusty in the last match and will find it difficult to bounce back against a quality opposition like the Tigers.
Top Picks
Carlos Braithwaite: Carlos Braithwaite scored 141 runs last season at a strike rate of 198.59 and also picked up 6 wickets.
Benny Howell: Benny Howell has picked up 7 wickets in his last 8 matches at a strike rate of 11.85.
