MSA vs TCB Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Nov 27, 2022
The Morrisville Samp Army will be looking to continue to build upon its winning spree as it takes on the Chennai Braves in match number 13 of the ongoing season of the Abu Dhabi T10 League.
On most cricket betting sites, the Samp Army is the favorite to win this contest. However, since the Chennai Braves won their latest contest, the odds for a Morrisville win have lengthened a biit.
MSA vs TCB Team Previews
Morrisville Samp Army
The Samp Army is one of the two teams that is playing for the first time in the T10 League, and they are off to a great start. The team has won both the matches it has played so far and is at the top of the points table thanks to an excellent NRR.
After beating the Bangla Tigers in the opening match, the Samp Army registered another comfortable victory in its second match, defeating Delhi Bulls by 8 wickets. Sheldon Cottrell produced an excellent spell with the ball, picking up 3 wickets for just 10 runs in his two overs to limit the Bulls to a modest total of 94. The target was chased down comfortably in just 7.4 overs thanks to an excellent half-century by Johnson Charles, who remained unbeaten on 58 off just 22 deliveries.
The Samp Army’s bowling attack appears to be one of the best in the tournament so far, as they haven’t allowed the opposition batsmen to cut loose. Dwaine Pretorius has picked up 4 wickets so far and is 4th on the list of leading wicket-takers for the season. Talking about the batting, both Charles and Hetmeyer look in good form. However, the form of Moeen Ali and David Miller remains an area of concern.
Morrisville Samp Army Playing 11
Johnson Charles, David Miller, Moeen Ali, Shimron Hetmyer, Dwaine Pretorius, Karim Janat, Basil Hameed, Anrich Nortje, Sheldon Cottrell, George Garton, Ahmed Raza.
Chennai Braves
After a last-place finish in the previous season, the Chennai Braves are once again off to a less-than-ideal start. The team is currently 6th on the points table. However, they will take some solace from the fact that they won their latest contest against the Bangla Tigers.
Carlos Brathwaite is in excellent all-round form this season and is the leading run-scorer as well as the top wicket-taker for the Braves. In the match against the Tigers, he scored 44 runs off just 19 deliveries to propel Chennai to 126-6 in their quota of 10 overs, and then came up with a magical spell of 4 wickets for just 3 runs to rattle the opposition, handing his team a memorable win.
The batting has been a bit of a let-down for the Braves, as no one except Brathwaite has been able to bat consistently. Sikandar Raza, who had an excellent outing in the T20 World Cup, is yet to find his rhythm. The bowling has been a tad better, as Fuller, Dooley, and Stone have all chipped in at regular intervals.
Chennai Braves Playing 11
Adam Rossington, Vriitya Aravind, Dawid Malan, Ross Whiteley, Dan Lawrence, Sikandar Raza, Carlos Brathwaite, James Fuller, Olly Stone, Samuel Cook, Sabir Rao.
MSA vs TCB Toss Prediction
On Saturday, each of the 3 matches played was won by the team batting second, and we expect to see more of the same on Sunday too. Therefore, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Abu Dhabi has proved to be an excellent surface to bat on. However, the quicker bowlers do get some movement early on. Expect the pitch to stay true throughout the match, and the batsmen will be able to hit through the line without any problems. The team batting first will need to score over 120 to give their bowlers a good chance of defending the total. The weather is expected to remain clear, and the temperature will remain in the late 20s.
MSA vs TCB Betting Tips
We are backing the Samp Army to win this one. Given the fact that they are the only team that is undefeated so far in this tournament, they will carry a lot of confidence into this contest. However, we expect Chennai to give a good fight, making this an exciting contest to watch.
Bet on a Samp Army win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
In its first match against the Tigers, the Samp Army scored 12 runs, while in the second match they scored 20. The Braves gave away 10 runs in their first match played against the Strikers. With Johnson Charles in good touch, we think that the Samp Army can easily score 9 runs or more against the Braves.
