TEAMS PREVIEW

Barpeta Braves Preview

After a slow start, Denish Das and his men have made a strong comeback in the tournament with back-to-back wins. They defeated the Nagaon Rangers in the last game by 70 runs, with their batters dominating the show. However, it will be a tougher challenge against the Legends, and Das expects a spirited performance from his players. 

Saurav Dihingia has struggled with his strike rate and must deliver a good start with Kabir Hasan. Denish Das played a match-winning knock of 72 runs in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Abhilash Maurya and Gaurav Thakuria. The team expects a strong show in the lower middle order from Arun Sonar and Bikiran Das. 

The bowling attack will be confident after strong performances in the last two games. Shubham Kumar Gupta has picked up 8 wickets in the season and must strike early alongside Rajesh Prasad. Kunal Sharma and Maurya will look to do well in the middle overs. The team expects Arun Sonar and Dipjyoti Saikia to do well in supporting roles. 

Interesting Stats

1. Denish Das has made 126 runs in four games at a strike rate of 144.83 
2. Shubham Kumar Gupta has picked up 8 wickets in four games at an average of 9.13

Barak Legends Preview

Sibsankar Roy's team has made all the right noises this season. The team has won three out of four games this season and has moved to second place on the points table. They defeated the Charaideo Sunrisers by 8 wickets in a one-sided game. Roy wants his players to build on this momentum and move to the top spot on the points table with another win. 

Bishal Saha has been the best batter for the team this season with 185 runs and must deliver an electrifying start with Aman Singh. Sibsankar Roy was the top scorer in the last game and aims to add runs in the middle order with Barunjoti Malakar and Shraban Khound. Saurav Dey, Bhargab Pratim Lahkar, and Abdul Ajij Kuraishi are good finishers and add depth to the batting. 

Abdul Ajij Kuraishi and Bhargab Lahkar bowled tight spells in the last game, and the team expects them to make early inroads into the Braves' batting lineup. Mohit Thakur is having a great time and has picked up 9 wickets this season. The team expects a good show from him and Saurav Dey in the middle order. The team expects a good show from Harsh Kumar and Rabi Chetri in the supporting roles.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect overcast conditions in Guwahati, and rain may interrupt this game. The temperature will be around 26°C at the start of the game, and we expect the humidity to be around 86%. The batting surface will be a bit more challenging than we have seen in the past. 

BBS vs BLS Pitch Report

Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. The average first-innings score in the tournament is 146 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 170 on the board.

Toss: To Bowl

The conditions are challenging for the batters in the Power Play, but ease in the second half. The side chasing the score has won nine out of the last fifteen games at this venue. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this track.
