Toss Winner - The Chennai Braves won the toss and choose to bowl first
The Chennai Braves beat Northern Warriors by 6 wickets
These two teams are running pretty close head-to-head, with the Northern Warriors winning twice and the Chennai Braves knocking them over once in their 3 encounters so far. Come this Saturday, Braves have got a legit chance to upset Warriors and get par with them on the head-to-head and the points table. But on current form they don't look like they'll be able to pull this one off.
- Going into the last game, the Chennai Braves had a dot ball percentage of 33%, which is clearly not helping their cause in the shortest format of the game.
- Kobe Herft doesn’t have good numbers up to back up his place in the team and might be replaced after three consecutive failures.
- Northern Warriors were on a roll after winning 2 in 2 matches but ran into hot favourites New York Strikers who eased past them.
We are backing Northern Warriors as the winners of this contest.

TCB vs NRW Match Prediction & Analysis
The Chennai Braves as a team haven’t done anything significant to write home about. Their only win came courtesy of a brilliant individual performance from Englishman Jason Roy, and he’s been looking a little out of touch ever since. They scraped through to a win over Team AD who’ve had a shocker of a tournament so far.
On current form, Northern Warriors should be able to clinch this contest if they play to their strengths and if their bowlers continue to put on a good show. As for Braves, there’s a great deal of work to be done with both bat and ball. Team Braves are being outthought, outmuscled and dominated by their opponents and they need to rejig their players and come out with an enterprising game plan to be able to compete with other teams in the matches.

TEAMS PREVIEW
The Chennai Braves Preview
The Chennai Braves is not a team packed with stars. Except Jason Roy, Imran Tahir, and Mohammad Nabi, two of whom have already played their last international for their respective countries, there’s hardly any bankable, aggressive short format player with a solid track record of winning matches singlehandedly for their sides.
Charith Asalanka, as captain, looks a bit indifferent in a format and he’ll take a bit of time to find his feet in. But we’ve seen teams running low on star power often punch above their weight in such fiercely fought tournaments. Such teams are able to so with meticulous planning and by playing as a group, and the Braves need to go down that route.
They need to come together as a group and dig super deep to be able to execute their game plans well against oppositions boasting heavyweights and superstars of the shortest format. It is particularly important for the Braves that their key players take it upon themselves and step up to the occasion to guide their team through to victory with both bat and ball. Or else they’ll be exposed and just end up having an average outing this time around.
The Chennai Braves Predicted Playing XI:
Jason Roy, Kobe Herft, George Munsey, Charith Asalanka(w), Mohammad Nabi, Kai Smith(c), Aayan Afzal Khan, Junaid Siddique, Sam Cook, Obed McCoy, Imran Tahir.

Northern Warriors Preview
Northern Warriors were sitting pretty at the top of the table (as the only team to have remained unbeaten after two matches) with 4 points and a net run rate well over +1. But they didn’t like play one in their match against the New York Strikers.
The openers were a bit too watchful. They couldn’t get out of the blocks as quickly as they’d have liked and lost their way a bit with two quick wickets. Incoming Kiwi batters Munro and Neesham had to see off a few balls to avoid a collapse and build a platform for the lower middle order to launch an attack later. However, they couldn’t quite get out of jail.
At 46/2 from 7 overs, their innings was going nowhere, but the Kiwi duo accelerated scoring 36 off the next 2 overs. They were looking good to finish a flourish but only managed to get 6 runs off the last over. Bowlers Abhimanyu Mithun, Tabraiz Shamsi and captain Angelo Matthews kept things tidy and picked up a couple of scalps each, but the total was never going to be enough for claiming a win. Their batters have to turn up big time next match and produce a total that their bowlers can fight with.
Northern Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Kennar Lewis, Hazratullah Zazai, Colin Munro, Adam Hose, Angelo Mathews (c), James Neesham, Kaunain Abbas (wk), Ziaur Rahman, Rahul Chopra, Tabraiz Shamsi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Abhimanyu Mithun.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is going to be a cool night with mild winds blowing across. No threat of rain. The surface might offer some assistance to seamers early on and the first few overs could be little tricky for the openers to negotiate.

Toss: To Bowl
Northern Warriors might bat first after winning the toss. They’ll be looking to put a big total on the board and force some mistakes from the Braves when they’re chasing. It’ll be interesting to see what Braves will choose to do if they win the toss, though.

Winning Prediction
The Chennai Braves have had their batting misfire not once but twice now with their team teetering at 27 for 6 and 18 for 6 well inside 5 overs. Now they’re going to be facing Northern Warriors who have a number of quality bowlers in their line up with two of them featuring among the top 3 wicket takers of the tournament. As things stand, it looks like team Chennai Braves will be rolled over by the Warriors- unless they bat well.
We are backing Northern Warriors as the winners of this contest.
