Chennai Braves went down to the Northern Warriors in their previous match

The Chennai Braves lost their previous encounter to the Northern Warriors by 19 runs. Batting first, the Warriors piled up a mammoth total of 152/4 in their allotted 10 overs, with openers Kennar Lewis and Moeen Ali putting on a blistering partnership of 106 runs.

In reply, the Chennai Braves were bowled out for a total of 133. Bhanuka Rajapaksa top-scored for the Chennai side with a 13-ball 34. Oshane Thomas scalped 3 wickets with the ball for the Northern Warriors outfit.

The Chennai Braves have endured an abysmal campaign in the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League. The Dasun Shanaka led side has lost all the 5 matches that it has played and is languishing at the last place in the points table.

The Chennai Braves will next be seen in action on 26th November 2021 when they lock horns with the Deccan Gladiators. This clash will be held at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
