Delhi Bulls lost their last game against the Bangla Tigers by 12 runs. In this game, they lost the toss and opted to field first. However, their bowling attack could not provide the top performance and gave away as many as 133 runs from their quota of 10 overs. Their most successful bowler in the game was their captain DJ Bravo who picked up one wicket from his 2 overs giving away 25 runs. Keemo Paul also picked up a wicket but gave away far too many runs. None of the other bowlers could pick up a wicket. The Delhi Bulls' batting lineup did a fair job by scoring 121 runs from their 10 overs. But they fell short of the target in the end. Tim David did a great job scoring a fifty from just 20 balls with six sixes.
New York Strikers recorded a win against Northern Warriors in their last match. The New York bowlers went for a lot of runs in this game and ended up giving away 143 runs from their quota of 10 overs. It was a stiff target to chase for the Strikers outfit. But Eoin Morgan dashed away all the hopes held by the Warriors' bowling attack to restrict the Strikers batting line-up by hitting a magnificent 87 from 35 balls to guide his team to an unlikely victory in this game. He pulverized the Warriors' bowling attack and none of the bowlers could restrict him.

Pitch Report
This game will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It is a batting-friendly ground that has a quick outfield and short boundaries. Teams playing at this venue have succeeded in scoring 120 runs easily while batting first even though this is almost halfway through the competition. The wicket offers a decent amount of bounce to the bowlers but good batsmen also benefit from it as it allows them to play their shots. With the track betting worn out after the many matches played at the venue, the ball might start keeping low on some occasions. This will also make it tricky for the batsmen to time the balls properly.

Dream11 Prediction
The New York Strikers side is clearly in better nick at the moment. They are lying in the second position in the points table and if they win this game they will move to the top of the table. They also have many dependable players in their ranks and have momentum on their side. The Delhi Bulls outfit, on the other hand, is struggling to get the bowling attack in some kind of form. Strikers have a much greater variety in their bowling attack. They have a powerful top-order batting line-up and they have performed consistently in their games. We expect New York Strikers to win this game.
