Match Preview

Tournament Context:

The Guwahati T20 Spring League 2025 features six teams in a double round-robin format, with the top four advancing to the semi-finals on May 2, and the final on May 3. Both CCC and NBC are in a critical phase, with CCC holding third place with 2 wins and 1 loss, and NBC in fourth with 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 abandoned match. This second meeting between the two (the first, Match 3 on April 18, was washed out) is pivotal for playoff qualification.


Team Form:

City Cricket Club (CCC): CCC has a 5-5 record in their last 10 matches. They recently lost to Bokakhat Town Cricket Club by 28 runs but have shown resilience, notably defeating NBC by 9 runs in a prior encounter (Match 8, 2023). Key performers include Parvez Musharraf (94 runs in 4 innings) and Tajinder Singh (82 runs in 4 innings), with Debojit Baruah (3 wickets) and Parvez Musharraf (4 wickets) leading the bowling. Their balanced squad is well-suited to the Judges Field pitch.


Nabajyoti Club (NBC): NBC also has a 5-5 record in their last 10 matches. They secured an 81-run victory against Smashers in a rain-reduced 10-over game, with Erik Roy (75 runs) and Hrishikesh Tamuli (34 runs) shining. Raj Agarwal (183 runs in 10 innings) and Abhijit Roy (199 runs in 10 innings) are consistent batters, while Rohit Singh-III (11 wickets in 5 matches) anchors the bowling. NBC’s qualification chances hinge on winning at least three of their remaining four games.


Head-to-Head:

The teams met earlier this season in Match 3 (April 18, 2025), but rain abandoned the game.

In a 2023 Guwahati Premier League match, CCC defeated NBC by 4 wickets, chasing 136.

In another 2023 encounter (Match 8), CCC won by 9 runs after posting 135/8, with Parvez Musharraf’s 54 proving decisive.


Pitch Report:

Judges Field offers a balanced T20 surface, with an average first-innings score of 142 and second-innings score of 123, suggesting chasing can be challenging as the pitch slows. Pacers and spinners get assistance, with early swing possible under the 97% cloud cover forecast for April 29. Teams batting first have a slight edge, but the team chasing may benefit if they restrict the opposition to under 140.


Weather Forecast:

Overcast with 97% cloud cover, 30°C, and a chance of rain interruptions. Teams may prefer bowling first if rain is expected, as seen in prior matches.


Match Prediction:

CCC holds a slight edge due to their historical success against NBC and a more balanced squad. Their ability to post competitive totals (e.g., 135/8 in 2023) and defend with disciplined bowling gives them a 55% win probability. However, NBC’s recent batting form, led by Erik Roy and Raj Agarwal, makes them dangerous, especially if they bat first and set a target above 150. The match could go either way, with the team batting second needing to navigate a slowing pitch.

Dream11 Team

Wicketkeepers: Hrishikesh Tamuli (NBC), Nabajeet Ghosh (CCC)

Tamuli’s recent 34 off 10 balls in a rain-reduced game and consistent middle-order contributions make him a safe pick. Ghosh is a reliable keeper-batter for CCC.


Batters: Raj Agarwal (NBC), Parvez Musharraf (CCC), Tajinder Singh (CCC)

Agarwal (183 runs in 10 innings) is a top-order anchor and vice-captain pick. Musharraf (94 runs, 4 wickets) is a versatile all-rounder, ideal as captain. Tajinder’s 82 runs in 4 innings add depth.


All-Rounders: Romario Sharma (CCC), Erik Roy (NBC)

Sharma’s 3 wickets in a 2023 match against NBC and batting contributions make him a must-pick. Roy’s explosive 75 in the last game boosts his value.


Bowlers: Rohit Singh-III (NBC), Debojit Baruah (CCC), Siddharth Sharma (CCC), Bhagab Lalkar (NBC)

Singh-III’s 11 wickets in 5 matches make him a strike bowler. Baruah (3 wickets) and Sharma (4 wickets in a recent game) are key for CCC. Lalkar’s 4 wickets in the tournament add variety.


Captain: Parvez Musharraf (CCC) – His dual contributions (batting and bowling) make him a high-point scorer.

Vice-Captain: Raj Agarwal (NBC) – Consistent top-order runs ensure steady points.

Dream11 Team Summary: Hrishikesh Tamuli, Nabajeet Ghosh, Raj Agarwal (VC), Parvez Musharraf (C), Tajinder Singh, Romario Sharma, Erik Roy, Rohit Singh-III, Debojit Baruah, Siddharth Sharma, Bhagab Lalkar

Fantasy Tips

Top Captain/Vice-Captain Picks:

Parvez Musharraf (CCC): His 94 runs and 4 wickets make him a multiplier choice for his all-round impact.


Raj Agarwal (NBC): A safe VC pick for his 183 runs at a high average, likely to score big if NBC bats first.


Erik Roy (NBC): A differential captaincy option after his 75 off 10 overs against Smashers.


Pitch-Based Strategy:

The balanced pitch favors all-rounders and bowlers who can exploit early swing and later spin. Prioritize players like Musharraf, Sharma, and Singh-III who contribute in multiple facets.


Batters who anchor innings (Agarwal, Tajinder) are crucial if the pitch slows down in the second innings.


Team Composition:

Opt for 5-6 batters/all-rounders and 4-5 bowlers, as the pitch assists both. A 6:5 or 5:6 (batter:bowler) ratio works well.


Include at least one keeper (Tamuli or Ghosh) and 2-3 all-rounders (Musharraf, Sharma, Roy) for flexibility.


Differential Picks:

Siddharth Sharma (CCC): His 4 wickets in a recent game make him a low-owned, high-reward bowler.


Bhagab Lalkar (NBC): With 4 wickets, he’s a budget bowler who can fetch points on a bowler-friendly track.


Toss and Match Strategy:

The team winning the toss may bowl first due to rain threats and early swing. If CCC bats first, Musharraf and Tajinder are key; if NBC bats, Agarwal and Roy are vital.


Chasing teams need strong middle-order batters (Tamuli, Ghosh) to counter a slowing pitch.


Risk Management:

Avoid overloading with top-order batters, as early wickets are likely. Balance with middle-order players and bowlers.
