MSA vs DG Match Preview
The Deccan Gladiators have reached the pole position in the points table. They have managed to dislodge Morrisville Samp Army from the top position in the points table. Tom Kohler Cadmore launched an incredible attack on the Warriors bowlers, hitting them for a 19-ball 69. This effort came up after a brilliant bowling effort from the teammate Nuwan Thushara. Thushara recorded a 4-fer for 12 runs, and these two took the Deccan team to the top of the points table.
Thushara succeeded in picking wickets on the second and fourth deliveries of his first over, picking up Hazaratullah Zazai and Kennar Lewis. Kohler-Cadmore murdered the Warriors’ bowling attack while chasing a decent target. He hammered Matthews for four sixes in a row in his first over. Then he smashed Omarzai for three consecutive boundaries. After that, he hit Tabraiz Shamsi for three sixes and one four. He brought up his half-century in just 13 balls. This onslaught meant the Gladiators romped home in 6.1 overs.
The Samp Army team is riding on a four-game winning streak in the Abu Dhabi T10 competition. They defeated the Bangla Tigers in their last game easily and are looking good for more wins in the competition. The Samp Army top order batting is in the hands of Andreis Gous, Ibrahim Zadran, and Faf du Plessis. Andres Gous was in excellent touch in their last match when they hit 42 runs from 20 balls with three sixes and four boundaries. Du Plessis and Zadran did not contribute much to the batting efforts of the Samp Army outfit.
The Samp Army middle order will be managed by all-rounders such as the skipper Moeen Ali, Karim Janat, Jason Holder, and Najibullah Zadran. The Samp Army bowling unit in their last game was taken over by their spinners Qais Ahmad and Salman Irshad. They picked up three wickets each to rout the Bangla Tigers batting order. Karim Janat also picked up some wickets from his two overs while giving away just four runs. These three bowlers will again lead the charge with the ball for Samp Army.
