BAL vs NOR Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – National T20 Cup 2020, Match 27

Match Details:

The 27th match of the National T20 Cup will be played between Balochistan and Northern at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.

The match is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM local time (3:30 PM IST) and will be streamed on the Pakistan Cricket YouTube channel.

Preview:

Balochistan will square off against Northern in the 27th game of the tournament. At this stage after 8 games, Balochistan won four and lost the other four games. The team kind of lost the track losing their last two matches. With just two more games left including this one, they would want to get back to the winning ways and fancy a place in the knockouts.

Northern, meanwhile, played some brilliant cricket in Multan and won all the five games they played over there. But in the three games they played in Rawalpindi, they ended up losing on two occasions. Even they do not have the winning momentum on their side as they lost to Sindh by 25 runs in their last match. Yet, they are still on the top of the points table and would love to hold on to that spot by putting up good performances in their next two games.
