Bangla Tigers Team News & Playing 11
BGT Team News
Having been unchanged for all five of their matches so far, it would be a surprise if Bangla Tigers were to suddenly change anything for this final league phase fixture.
BGT Key Players
Rilee Rossouw: Consistent at the top of the order to score 140 runs from his five innings so far, including a top score of 44* from 21 balls in the win against Team Abu Dhabi.
David Wiese: A poplar figure on the franchise circuit and he proved why last time out as he moved to six wickets so far with a match-winning 3-14 from his two overs.
Robbie Frylinck: Hit his stride last time out, with 36* from 12 balls to rescue the Tigers from a sticky situation with the bat before he took 1-30 with the ball.
BGT Team Form
Bangla Tigers are unbeaten in their last four games, since they started with a defeat to Deccan Gladiators. They beat Karnataka Tuskers in their next game and then tied with Delhi Bulls to conclude the group stage. Since then, Rilee Rossouw (44*) and Qais Ahmad (3-8) played their part in a 27-run win against Team Abu Dhabi, while David Wiese’s 3-14 was vitals as they defended 102/6 to beat Northern Warriors by just six runs last time out.

Maratha Arabians Team News & Playing 11
MA Team News
Another unchanged team last time out – as they have been since Afghanistan duo Hazratullah Zazai and Najibullah Zadran arrived post-international duty – earned another win. It seems likely the winning 11 will be stuck with again.
MA Key Players
Chris Lynn: If anybody is going to hit a century in this tournament, the big-hitting opener looks the most likely on current form. His last three innings have brought 91*, 61 and 89 at the top of the order. He hit nine sixes in his 33-ball innings last time out.
Lasith Malinga: Continued his brilliant bowling form as he claimed 1-10 last time out. It was his first wicket but his slingy bowling has produced plenty of economical overs nevertheless.
Mitchell McClenaghan: Usually excellent in tandem with Malinga, he was hit for five fours and he conceded 0-26 last time out. His 2-9 and 1-17 in the previous two innings shows what he can do, however.
MA Team Form
Maratha Arabians have found their form in style and Chris Lynn, Mitchell McClenaghan and Lasith Malinga have been central to that. Lynn’s 91* and Malinga and McClenaghan excellent bowling saw them post 138/2 and beat Team Abu Dhabi by 24 runs, for example. Lyth then hit 61 in the following T20 League match but the rain denied them the chance to defend 129/4 against Karnataka Tuskers. Last time out, however, they made up for lost time – Lynn scored 89 from 33 balls and Malinga’s 1-10 ensured their total of 146/4 proved 30 runs too many for Delhi Bulls.
Maratha Arabians Predicted Playing 11
Hazratullah Zazai, Chris Lynn, Adam Lyth, Najibullah Zadran, Chadwick Walton (wk), Dasun Shanaka, Dwayne Bravo (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Lasith Malinga, Shiraz Ahmed, Mitchell McClenaghan
