This game begins the final trio of group stage matches on Thursday in the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. It would take an incredible swing for The Chennai Braves to get into the top four but stranger things have happened and net-run-rates are there to be changed!
Bangla Tigers have not lost back to back games all campaign and they are in no mood to start doing so in this match. However, even a win in this fixture does not guarantee them safe age to the knockout stage.
One thing which is for sure, is both teams need to beat the other and the bigger the win the better.

Very few pundits are holding out much hope for The Chennai Braves to win this game let alone to do the impossible and leapfrog up from seventh to fourth!
The Braves have not just lost four out of their last five but been beaten by the following margins: 5 wickets, 10 wickets, 65 runs and 7 wickets. We always say that form and momentum can change very quickly in T10 cricket but The Chennai Braves have shown precious little ability or signs that they have a future in this year's tournament.
With the ball, The Chennai Braves look competitive but they have had absolutely no consistency with the bat throughout this campaign.

Bangla Tigers were well beaten, by 6 wickets with 10 balls remaining, by the high-flying Morrisville Samp Army on Tuesday but losing to that strong team is no disgrace. We expect the Tigers to put that defeat out of their minds and to be able to focus on getting two points in this game.
In Jordan Cox, the Tigers have one of the most consistent batters in the tournament and he has hit 265 runs from only six innings. Cox will be looking to his Sri Lankan team-mates like Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis to make big runs at the top of the order and help the side post a competitive total.
Against a weak batting line-up, the likes of Daniel Sams, Haider Ali and Carlos Brathwaite will be relishing the opportunity to get the ball in hand in this game.

No rain is forecast in Abu Dhabi on Thursday afternoon but the sun will be shining and the temperature will be at a very pleasant 25-26 degrees throughout this game.

This is still a good batting pitch although it does not have the same pace that we saw earlier in the tournament. Spinners, swing bowlers and quicks with strong variations have come more into the competition over recent days.
The captains continue to choose to field first when they win the toss in this tournament but we could see both teams want to bat first, so they can attempt to post a huge total before skittling the opposition to get that big net-run-rate swing!
Neither team has lived up to their expectations from ahead of the tournament but when we look at the XIs it is Bangla Tigers who have match-winners. We are predicting a win for Bangla Tigers.
