Bangla Tigers and New York Strikers will go head-to-head in Match 5 of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2023 on Wednesday, November 29, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Bangla Tigers have been disappointing in the Abu Dhabi T10 since 2019. They finished third in their debut season, followed by fifth and fourth-place finishes in the next two. However, last season, they had a terrible run as they finished eighth with just two wins and five losses.
Benny Howell is likely to lead the Bangla Tigers in this edition. The likes include Chris Lynn, Carlos Braithwaite, Haider Ali, and former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Robin Uthappa.
Meanwhile, the New York Strikers faced an initial setback, losing their first game to Deccan Gladiators by 22 runs. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Chamika Karunaratne impressed with a three-wicket haul, supported by Ali Khan and Muhammad Jawadullah, who took one wicket each.
Despite contributions from UAE opener Muhammad Waseem (26), Asif Ali (24), and Sunil Narine's 10 off 6, their efforts fell short as they couldn't reach the target within the given overs.
