Delhi Bulls vs The Chennai Braves, ABDT10, Today Match Prediction 01 December 2023

DB vs TCB Match Prediction & Analysis

Delhi Bulls have a clear edge over the Chennai Braves with an impressive 3-0 head to head record. And if the recent results are anything to go by, it looks like Delhi Bulls will be sustaining their dominance.

Chennai Braves had a batting failure in the last match before some later order hitting took the team to a respectable total, but the bowlers just had a bad day. It was a terrible loss but they’ve no option than to quickly shake it off and focus on taming the Bulls from Delhi.

Bulls were rampant and decimated the current champions in all aspects of the game. And they’ll be looking to get down on the pitch, show the same grit and tactical smartness as in the first match, and pick up a win.

 Their batters are in some great nick, and the opposition bowlers are looking a bit toothless at the moment. Will it be another day to for the Bulls? The Braves won’t let them have it easy, will they?

TEAMS PREVIEW

Delhi Bulls Preview

Delhi Bulls were on a mission in their opener against the reigning champions. Openers QDK and Johnson Charles were at their destructive best, giving the Bulls an electric start. And they eventually cantered to victory with 9 wickets and 9 balls to spare.

That’s an annihilation in T10 . The margin of victory was humongous, pushing them straight to the top of the tree in the points table. Northern Warriors completed another win to displace them to second position, but they’re still number 1 on NRR, though.

After a day off, Delhi Bulls will be raring to go at their next opposition, Chennai Braves, who’re not looking great at the moment. Three of their bowlers had a tough outing the other day, but they’ll need to bounce back quickly if they don’t want to put extra pressure on their free-flowing batsmen.

Nobody wants to change a winning combination so Bulls will be mostly fielding the same XI unless any last-minute injury forces their hands. The team, particularly the batting unit, showed us a glimpse of what they’re capable of. And now they just have to work on being consistent and make winning a habit.

Delhi Bulls Predicted Playing XI:

Quinton de Kock (wk), James Vince, Rilee Rossouw, Rovman Powell (c), Ravi Bopara, Usman Khan, Dwayne Bravo, Naveen-ul-Haq, Richard Gleeson, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Johnson Charles.

The Chennai Braves Preview

Chennai Braves’ last outing was one to forget with both bat and ball.

After electing to bat, they found themselves down on the mat at 27 for 3. Braves' batters couldn’t quite wriggle their way out of the stranglehold that Samp Army had them in and tapped out eventually, losing 3 more wickets with no run added to the board. At 27 for 6, they were running the risk of being all out inside 10 overs. But captain Charith Asalanka decided to take matters in his own hands and guided the team’s score to a respectable 75 before another Sri Lankan Bhanuka Rajapaksa came along and provided some late order impetus to take them to 97/7 from 10 overs. That’s a remarkable recovery act from the shambles they were in, but the bowling didn’t take heart from the effort and failed to put the opposition under any pressure whatsoever. Not surprising given the bowling unit has just managed 6 scalps so far in two matches, which it’s a serious cause for concern.

It’s time for them to go back to the drawing board and have a rethink about their plans if they want to give themselves the best chance of making it to the top 4.

The Chennai Braves Predicted Playing XI:

Jason Roy, Kobe Herft, George Munsey, Stephen Eskinazi, Charith Asalanka (c), Mohammad Nabi, Kai Smith (wk), Aayan Afzal Khan, Junaid Siddique, Sam Cook, Obed McCoy, Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Another late evening clash with no sign of rain interruption. Temperatures during this night clash are expected to be anywhere around 23 degrees Celsius. Dew is surely going to play its part so bowlers beware. 

DB vs TCB Pitch Report

The Sheikh Zayed stadium is going to host this cracker of a game featuring Delhi Bulls and Chennai Braves. And, if both these teams went at each other, it'll be a night to for the crowd gathered there tomorrow.

Toss: To Bat

Team winning the toss obviously fancy fielding first and it looks like this pattern will hold for this late night match. The only way for the team batting first to up their chances of winning is to bat the opposition out with a massive total on the board, just like Bangla Tigers did against Deccan Gladiators last night.
