Preview:
Raval Sporting have been even-stevens with a loss and a win in the tournament so far. They had to face an embarrassing defeat in their season-opener, but they came back strongly in their very next game and secured a win.
That win will give them confidence coming into this fixture. On the other hand, Barcelona Gladiators have only had one game so far. That game against the Kharian team ended in a loss. Clearly, Raval will have the upper hand in this game.

RAS vs BAG Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match
Gaurang Mahyavanshi has been phenomenal with the ball for the Raval Sporting team, picking 2 wickets each in both the games the team has played in the tournament so far. He would again be the pick of the bowlers from his side.
Davinder Singh was extremely explosive in his approach with the bat in the previous game against the Skyways. He scored 26 off just 13 balls, boasting of a strike rate of 200. There might be a chance that he can come back to his opening spot after missing out in the first game, so that he gets more game time and impacts the game’s proceedings.
Kishitij Patel played like a proper top-order batsman in the winning game against Skyways, after failing against Minhaj in the tournament-opener. He scored 27 off 19 balls, which would definitely help his confidence coming into this fixture.
Tanzeer Ur Rehman was unstoppable at the opening slot for Barcelona and surprised everyone with his hard-hitting abilities. He smashed 24 in almost no time in the game against Kharian. The Raval bowlers will have to get him out early or he could turn out to be extremely dangerous for them.
Arslan Muhammad was another batsman who looked extremely dangerous against Kharian in the previous game. He scored 34 off 23 deliveries.
