Maratha Arabians have played some top-class cricket in this year's T10 League and their net run rate of +1.678 reflects the team's dominance. They have lost only a single game in this tournament and enter this clash on the back of a comprehensive 30-run victory against the Delhi Bulls.

On the other hand, the Bangla Tigers have built a four-match unbeaten streak and are high on confidence. After losing their opening game of the competition, the Thisara Perera-led side have looked unstoppable.

Rilee Rossouw and Andre Fletcher will hold the key with the bat, while English fast bowler, Liam Plunkett will be tasked with controlling the flow of runs and picking up crucial wickets.

For the Arabians, the focus will be on Yuvraj Singh and whether he decides to take part in this match. If he does opt out, Chris Lynn and Lasith Malinga will once again be the players to watch out for.


Predicted XIs

Bangla Tigers

Bangla Tigers edged the Northern Warriors by 6 runs in their previous match. Robert Frylinck was starred for the Tigers, but wicket-keeper batsman Tom Moores' dismal display means he could be replaced by Anamul Haque for this match. The team management may also provide Colin Ingram some time off and replace him with Shehan Jayasuriya.

Probable XI: Andre Fletcher, Rilee Rossouw, Shehan Jayasuriya, Anamul Haque (wk), Chirag Suri, Thisara Perera (C), Robbie Frylinck, David Wiese, Qais Ahmad, Liam Plunkett, Kevin Koththigoda.


Maratha Arabians

If Yuvraj Singh makes himself available for this match, he could replace Dasun Shanaka in the team. Maratha Arabians are unlikely to make any other changes as they have played brilliant cricket thus far.

Probable XI: Chris Lynn (C), Hazratullah Zazai, Adam Lyth, Najibullah Zadran, Yuvraj Singh, Chadwick Walton (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell McClenaghan, Wanindu Hasaranga, Lasith Malinga, Shiraz Ahmed.


Match Prediction

Chris Lynn has been in exceptional form in this competition which makes Maratha Arabians the firm favorites heading into this match.

Bangla Tigers have a star-studded lineup as well, but the Arabians' firepower might be too much for them to handle.

Maratha Arabians to come out on top.
