Bangla Tigers Mississauga vs Surrey Jaguars, GBL T20 2023, Today Match Prediction 29 July 2023

BTM vs SURG Match Prediction & Analysis

Mississauga Panthers are all set to face Surrey Jaguars at the CAA Centre in Brampton as they look to end their losing run in the GT20 Canada 2023.

The batting performances from the Panthers have been on a downward graph getting worse with every game and reaching their lowest point in the last match.

Not just the batting has been poor but even their bowlers have struggled to pick wickets and put any sort of pressure on the opposition. As such, Surrey Jaguars who are coming off a win in their last game while defending just 141 runs, will be happy to take on Mississauga Panthers.

Sandeep Lamichhane is in great touch in the Jaguars’ bowling attack, delivering breakthroughs at an impressive economy rate. While there aren’t many big names in the bowling attack, the likes of Bernard Schotlz and Matthew Forde are definitely high-impact bowlers.

A star-studded Panthers batting lineup has failed time and again and even the changes to the batting order haven’t worked. They can’t find their first win unless these batters make a comeback.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bangla Tigers Mississauga Preview

A team that features Chris Gayle, Azam Khan, James Neesham, and Shoaib Malik has failed to win a single match in the GT20 Canada so far. Just a couple of years ago, Malik was a star T20 player delivering match-winning knocks consistently for his national team and the franchises. 

Neesham has also been impressive in franchise cricket all over the world delivering with both bat and ball. However, it seems like the Panthers have gone out of form wholesale.

Azam Khan and Neesham played a few handy knocks but failed to get from others. That is another big issue with the Mississauga batting lineup. Whenever someone has stepped up to lead, others have just fallen like a pack of cards on the other end.

Panthers brought in Cameron Delport in the last match but the experienced T20 batter also failed to get going in his first outing of this season. The scores are dipping in every game and Panthers desperately need their key players to start delivering partnerships that would build a good total.

However, batting isn’t the only worry for the Panthers coming into this match. Even with a bowling attack that has variety, they haven’t been threatening. There are no reliable bowlers in this lineup who would deliver breakthroughs and bring Mississauga Panthers back into the game.

Bangla Tigers Mississauga Predicted Playing XI:

Tom Cooper, Chris Gayle, Navneet Dhaliwal, Cameron Delport, Azam Khan (wk), James Neesham, Shoaib Malik (c), Jaskaran Singh, Nikhil Dutta, Zahoor Khan, Parveen Kumar

Bangla Tigers Mississauga Actual Playing XI:

Jaskaran Singh, Nikhil Dutta, Cameron Delport, Shreyas Movva, Praveen Kumar, Tom Cooper, Azam Khan, Chris Gayle, Zahoor Khan, Shoaib Malik, James Neesham

Surrey Jaguars Preview

Surrey Jaguars will be looking to carry their momentum from the last game where they delivered an exceptional performance as the bowlers successfully defended a 141-run total. 

Jaguars started their campaign with a loss against Montreal Tigers after setting up a target of 137 runs. There are some promising bowlers in this squad and they will play a key role in this match.

Sandeep Lamichhane, Bernard Scholtz, Matthew Forde, and skipper Iftikhar Ahmed will all be crucial with the ball. The variety in the bowling attack would allow Iftikhar to make quick changes to the bowling depending on the match situation to maintain the pressure on the batting side. 

While they would be happy with their recent bowling performance, they would also be confident as they take on a struggling Panthers’ batting lineup. Nevertheless, the batting has been anything but promising. And Jaguars need to bounce back if they are to continue winning more games.

The top 4 of this batting order feature Alex Hales, Litton Das, and Iftikhar Ahmed, some of the biggest names in T20 cricket. Iftikhar would be hoping for a quick turnaround with the bat before they also follow the same fate as that of their opposition.

Surrey Jaguars Predicted Playing XI:

Alex Hales, Litton Das (wk), Jatinder Singh, Iftikhar Ahmed (c), Pargat Singh, Matthew Forde, Dillon Heyliger, Ammar Khalid, Bernard Scholtz, Sandeep Lamichhane, Spencer Johnson

Surrey Jaguars Actual Playing XI:

Alex Hales, Ammar Khalid, Litton Das, Dillon Heyliger, Pargat Singh, Sandeep Lamichhane, Matthew Forde, Iftikhar Ahmed, Ayaan Khan, Jatinder Singh, Spencer Johnson

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It is a balanced pitch that has favored both batters and bowlers in the past but in recent games, the bowlers have had the upper hand. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 32 degrees Celsius.

BTM vs SURG Pitch Report

CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario will host this encounter between Mississauga Panthers and Surrey Jaguars. The average 1st innings score here is 164 runs but in recent games, teams have struggled to put a decent score while batting first. We reckon a 165-170 run total would be quite competitive in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first have won considerably more matches on this ground and looking at the current form of both sides, it seems unlikely that they would set up a highly competitive target. Bowling first would surely suit the Jaguars given how the opposition is struggling on all fronts while they have their bowlers in good rhythm.
