DG vs NRW Team Previews
Deccan Gladiators
The Deccan Gladiators have won three and lost two matches to start their 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 campaign. Their last two results have both been victories - over Team Abu Dhabi and the Chennai Braves. Those two wins helped them bounce back from successive defeats to the Delhi Bulls and Bangla Tigers.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Fletcher remain Deccan's leading run-scorers this tournament. Kohler-Cadmore has been the standout striker, collecting 197 runs in five innings at an average of 65.66 and strike rate of 207.36. Fletcher, meanwhile, is striking at 235.
Nuwan Thushara is their top wicket-taker this season. He has taken six wickets in four matches. The Sri Lankan star has partnered well with Luke Wood and Andre Russell. Wood is among the best left-arm seamers in the tournament and capable of taking a lot more wickets this tournament.
Russell is a world-class all-rounder and a huge asset for the Gladiators. He can turn a contest on its head - with bat or ball - in a short period of time. In T10 cricket, that can be immensely valuable. Russell is certainly one of the key figures to watch in this match.
Deccan Gladiators Playing 11
Nicholas Pooran, Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, Fabian Allen, Imad Wasim, Luke Wood, Trent Boult, Zahoor Khan, Nuwan Thushara, Nav Pabreja, David Wiese, Tom Kohler Cadmore.
Northern Warriors
The Northern Warriors gathered two wins in a row against the Samp Army and Team Abu Dhabi before losing three matches in succession to the New York Strikers, Chenai Braves and Bangla Tigers. They are attempting to end a significant losing streak here.
Hazratullah Zazai and Kennar Lewis are their top run-scorers in this season's Abu Dhabi T10. Zazai has a formidable 203 runs to Lewis' complementary 103. Zazai is averaging more than 50 and striking at over 173. The Warriors also have New Zealand recruit Colin Munro weighing in with important runs.
Three Warriors bowlers have taken seven wickets this season - Abhimanyu Mithun, Angelo Mathews and Jimmy Neesham. All three are seamers. The Indian, Sri Lankan and New Zealand star should be key for the Warriors here again, especially if seam is to have more of a say than spin.
This Deccan Gladiators v Northern Warriors match in the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 is going to be an interesting one. While the match will be lined with talent from abroad, local players such as Sultan Ahmed will be important as well. Ahmed is among the top UAE players in the competition.
Northern Warriors Playing 11
Angelo Mathews, Hazratullah Zazai, Kennar Lewis, James Neesham, Josh Cobb, Azmatullah Omarzai, Sultan Ahmed, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rameez Shahzad, Ziaur Rahman, Rahul Chopra.
