Following the successful conclusion of the Major League Cricket tournament which took place last month, this US-based franchise tournament has a lot in store for us. Since we have not seen both teams in action before so very little can be said about their ongoing form yet.
Form Guide
Atlanta Riders: N/A Texas Chargers: N/A
The pitch at Central Broward Stadium has vastly favored the spinners who have enjoyed a fair amount of success bowling on this track. The ball starts turning and gripping viciously during the latter stages of the game making batting enormously difficult. It will be an ideal tactic for either toss-winning captain to bat first and make the most of the pitch while it remains fresh.

Robin Uthappa vs Texas Chargers in T10
Dwayne Smith vs Texas Chargers in T10
Mohammad Hafeez vs Atlanta Riders in T10
Ben Dunk vs Atlanta Riders in T10
Both teams are pretty much even-stevens at this stage. During the infancy stage of the inaugural US Masters T10 edition, it is impossible to predict an obvious winner. But by looking at the depth of the Texas Chargers lineup, the Chargers may have a slim upper hand leading into this fixture.
Wicket-keepers: Ben Dunk Batsmen: Lendl Simmons, Hamilton Masakadza, Noor Ali Zadran, Mohammad Hafeez All-rounder: Dwayne Smith, Grant Elliott, Jeevan Mendis Bowlers: Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan
For Small League, Head to Head contest: Mohammad Hafeez, Dwayne Smith
For Grand League, Mega Contest: Robin Uthappa, Ben Dunk
Considering the slow and sluggish nature of the wicket, it is highly advisable to strengthen your batting lineup. Ideally, it will be a good tactic to include spin-bowling all-rounders who can not only chip in with some handy runs down the order but can also pick up wickets during the crucial junctures of the game. Aim to restrict your fast bowling quota as they are likely to go the distance in this format.
