The New York side have confidence behind them from their performance in the 2023 edition of the Abu Dhabi. They are the current champions. That title is well-deserved after a shaky start with the bat in the Final. They are a side filled with grit and determination. The Tigers did not start their 2024 season in ideal fashion, but a win against their New York opponents could be a massive boost.

Bangla Tigers

At the top for the Bangla Tigers is, Hazratullah Zazai. The left-handed Afghan batter is known for his explosive batting in T20 leagues around the world. This shows from his batting record of 109 runs in his last three T10 matches.

The Tigers’ middle-order batting is largely dominated by players with a proficiency in playing subcontinental conditions. They boast the all-round capabilities of Shakib Al Hasan and Liam Livingstone. Shakib, a seasoned campaigner, brings balance to the team.

His batting ability to stabilise or accelerate the innings complements his economical left-arm spin. He grabbed two wickets against the Samp Army. Liam Livingstone is another dual threat with bat and ball. Iftikhar Ahmed and Dasun Shanaka further strengthen the middle-order as powerful finishers with the bat.

They can each contribute with a couple of tidy overs too. Shanaka, in particular, has 144 runs in his last eight T10 innings. He also hit 62 unbeaten runs off 27 balls against the Samp Army.

The bowling attack is spearheaded by leg-spinner Rashid Khan, whose wicket-taking deliveries have baffled many a batter in white-ball leagues worldwide. Supporting the bowling in the pace department are David Payne and Josh Little with their ability to extract bounce and swing.

Nav Pabreja, although less known, brings a surprise element with his bowling variations.

New York Strikers

Experienced captain Kieron Pollard will be a mastermind strategist on the field and dominant middle-order batter. Leading the batting charge are openers Evin Lewis and Muhammad Waseem. They will produce the attacking brand of cricket which is significant of any Kieron Pollard-led team.

Waseem produced a knock of 41 runs off 22 balls Kusal Perera will continue the batting assault while also being reliable behind the wickets. He hit an unbeaten half-century against the Bangla team in 2023.

Dewald Brevis, often hailed as a prodigious talent comparable to AB de Villiers, brings versatility to the lineup with his flair and innovative stroke play. Alongside him, Asif Ali provides the muscle in the middle-order as he did in last year’s Abu Dhabi T10 Final with 48 runs not out.

The all-round capabilities of Donovan Ferreira and Sunil Narine enrich the team’s strategic options. Narine's exceptional off-spin bowling and economic overs will make run-scoring difficult for the Tigers. His two wickets in the 2023 Final set up the game for his side. Ferreira is one of the few all-rounders in every sense of the word as a brutal batter, tidy off-spinner and capable wicketkeeper.

The bowling attack is spearheaded by Mohammad Amir. The Pakistani left-arm seamer will be difficult to contain in swinging conditions in the opening couple of overs. Reece Topley adds height and pace to create uncomfortable bounce for opposition batters.

Akeal Hosein’s controlled left-arm spin complements countryman Narine in choking the opposition for runs and snagging crucial wickets in the middle stages of the game.

BNT vs NYS Toss Prediction

The decision at the toss could be crucial in determining the course of the game. Captains often prefer to bowl first at Zayed Cricket Stadium. The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first on a fairly fresh pitch, having only had a handful of games so far.

Pitch and Conditions

Zayed Cricket Stadium is known for its flat, batter-friendly wickets. There may be early seam movement on offer, but it should be a decent wicket to bat on throughout. The spinners may find some turn and grip. A fast outfield may also help the batters in scoring more boundaries.

Hot and humid will be the order of the day in Abu Dhabi. Rain is highly unlikely with only a one percent chance.

BNT vs NYS Betting Tips

Both teams will provide blockbuster action with squads that are licenced to thrill. Having started their tournament with a loss, the Bangla Tigers may have taken a slight confidence hit. The Strikers won by eight wickets in 2023 and may win this clash again. They have a stronger batting lineup and that is key in this format.

Bet on the New York Strikers to win this match.
