Pakhtoons and Bengal Tigers will be facing off in the first game of the groups’ crossover stage after finishing first and second in their respective groups. Pakhtoons won their previous two matches closely after losing the first by the defending champions Kerala. Bengal Tigers, in group B, finished second with two huge wins in three matches. Interestingly, Tigers would have finished higher than Pakhtoons if both of them were placed in the same group given their higher NRR.

The Bengal Tigers are boosted with the likes of Sunil Narine, Jason Roy and Sherfane Rutherford at the top and have a bowling attack which could trouble the opponent with their line and lengths. The Pakhtoons, on the other hand, have got a line-up of players who can score big runs even in the T10 format. It is the reason why their lowest score in the three matches is 109 which they made in the first game.
