MSA vs A-RZ--CRICKET--TAD-MS3P Team Previews
Morrisville Samp Army
Samp Army will go into this match on the back of victory over the Chennai Braves and defeat to the Northern Warriors. This is an opportunity to push themselves into the top half of the points standings and jostle for position with other genuine title contenders.
Andries Gous and Moeen Ali are the Samp Army's leading run-scorers this tournament. Gous has been playing Major and Minor League Cricket in the United States of America, while Ali has plenty of experience at international level for England. Ali is Samp's captain.
Karin Janat and Qais Ahmad have three wickets each this tournament. Janat's pace coupled with Ahmad's spin has been key to some of Samp's success this season. Ahmad's economy rate of 8.33 in the tournament has been especially impressive.
With Jason Holder and Faf du Plessis in their ranks, the Samp Army should make for strong opposition in this match and the rest of the tournament. The former West Indian and South African captains are two of the biggest stars in this Abu Dhabi T10.
Morrisville Samp Army Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Najibullah Zadran, Monank Patel, Karim Janat, Moeen Ali, Ibrahim Zadran, Basil Hameed, Jason Holder, Muhammad Irfan II, Qais Ahmad, Peter Hatzoglou, Salman Irshad.
Team Abu Dhabi
Team Abu Dhabi are the only side not to have won a match this tournament. They have lost two in quick succession, against the Chennai Braves and Northern Warriors. Team Abu Dhabi are struggling to move away from the bottom of the points table, but here is a solid opportunity to do so.
They will need a lot more from their first-choice batters, including England's Alex Hales and Tom Banton, West Indian Kyle Mayers and South African Dwaine Pretorius. The former Proteas all-rounder is captaining Team Abu Dhabi and Pretorius, indeed, needs to start leading by example with the bat soon.
Team Abu Dhabi have only taken three wickets in two matches this season. This is a telling statistic that shows they have struggled more with the ball than the bat. Bowling figureheads such as Pretorius, England's Tymal Mills and the Netherlands' Roelof van der Merwe also need to start stepping up.
Their most recent defeat was by 10 wickets, when six bowlers could not string even one breakthrough together. They might want to try opening the bowling with Noor Ahmad this time, or van der Merwe. Using a spinner instead of a seamer with the new ball can yield early success.
Team Abu Dhabi Playing 11
Kyle Mayers, Tom Banton, Leus du Plooy, Colin Ingram, Dwaine Pretorius, Asif Khan, Alishan Sharafu, Noor Ahmad, Roelof Van Der Merwe, Rumman Raees, Tymal Mills, Alex Hales.
