Bud Cricket Club will take on a struggling City CC in the 26th match of the Assam T20 Pride Cup in Guwahati. BCC are coming into this match with 3 consecutive wins while City Cricket Club looks to avoid 3rd straight loss.
BCC haven’t been impressive with the bat and like most other teams, rely on their bowlers to deliver wins. They defended 127 in the last match and before that, they bowled out the opposition for just 42 runs while bowling first.
City Cricket Club finally managed to stage a comeback with the bat in their last match but still failed to secure a win. They posted a 141-run total while batting first but failed to defend it and lost by 5 wickets.
It will be a close contest between the two teams given both have been inconsistent with the bat. BCC lost 5 wickets on their way to a 43-run target in one of their recent wins. City CC should back their bowlers to put the team on top of the game.

Bud Cricket Club need to find its rhythm with the bat and deliver a much stronger performance if they are to continue their winning run. At present, they are very much dependent on the bowlers.
And while the bowlers are in great form, they might fall short of leading the Club to a 4th straight win if the batters don’t bounce back. Kaushik Giri, Vikash Yadav, and Bikash Das are the key run-scorers in this lineup.
Their batting positions have been changed quite a lot in recent outings but irrespective of where they bat, they hold the key to batting success for Bud CC. Others like Manikarna Sharma, Tushar Saha, and Dibash Hazarika have failed to deliver consistently even at key batting positions in the top 4.
The inconsistency will be a huge concern for Bud Cricket Club going ahead in this tournament. In addition to losing 5 wickets on their way to a small target of 43 runs, BCC also struggled in the previous match while chasing an 89-run target as they lost 6 wickets on their way to victory.
If the opposition scores somewhere around 130+ BCC will find itself on the back foot. Arup Das, skipper Pushparaj Sharma, and Fazar Ahmed will be key wicket-taking bowlers to watch out for in this bowling attack.

City’s recent batting performance was quite impressive in the larger context of the tournament. Skipper Romario Sharma’s quick half-century at number 3 set the tone for the innings and opener Angshuman Katoni’s ing knock helped the Club set a competitive 1st innings total.
A loss in that game is a huge disappointment. Any other team would have comfortably defended a 141-run total. It was the in middle overs that the City CC bowlers lost the plot as they allowed for a 57-run stand for the 4th wicket.
Romario Sharma and Pankaj Rai were wicketless even though they weren’t expensive in their spells. Vedant Pandey on the other hand conceded 30 off his 3 overs for a wicket.
Bowlers need to bounce back. City Cricket Club needs a more consolidated effort from both batters and bowlers. Rai, Sharma, and Chandradeep Das are the key wicket-takers in this squad.
In the batting lineup, Angshuman Katoni holds the key in the top-order and his performance can set City CC on the way to a good total. Sanjib Barma, his opening partners has also looked promising and can deliver a significant knock.
Sanjay Singh, Tajinder Singh, and Shaan Singh Rana are the middle-order batters who haven’t been in good touch. The lack of runs from the middle and lower middle order has hurt City’s chances of winning. Rana, after scoring 36 off 21 balls was sent down to 7 in the next game where he played just a single ball.

It will be mostly cloudy in Guwahati on the match day with a high of 33 degrees Celsius. Though some of the recent matches were abandoned, we don’t see a high probability of rain affecting this match. It should be a complete 20-over-a-side game between Bud CC and City CC at the Nehru Stadium.
It is a bowling-friendly wicket with almost no help for the batters. City Club’s last match was the only game where the team batting second chased down a 140+ total. In most other cases, even 120 has seemed like a challenging ask for the chasing team. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at this venue is 111 runs. We reckon 130-140 could be a match-winning total in this game.
Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches in the Assam T20 Pride Cup at this venue in Guwahati. It is not a high-scoring venue and the team bowling first could gain the upper hand by restricting the opposition to a below-par total. BCC’s current bowling first and City CC’s return to form with the bat make bowling first a great choice for both teams.
It should be a close contest between the two teams considering their inconsistencies. Even if BCC have won 3 consecutive matches, it is no guarantee of them having a huge advantage going into this match. City CC have recently delivered well with the bat and can pose a threat. However, considering the bowling form of both teams, we reckon Bud Cricket Club will have a slight edge in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
