Trent Boult opened proceedings with a seven-run over against the Bangla Tigers. He is a bowler with great control so expect him to be tight in the first over again.
This may be a likely bet to come to fruition. Brandon King fell to Rashid Khan after his stumps were dismantled by the Afghan leg-spinner when the Warriors met the Tigers.
The battle of the Northern Warriors and New York Strikers sees two mid-table sides in contention for two points. This could be a vital game for two teams that may be in and around the play-off spots. As knockout places become ever more important, this could be considered a play-off before a play-off. Both teams have suffered a loss, but also have a couple of wins under the belt.
The Warriors and Strikers only have a brief history of two matches against each other. The Strikers have come up on top in both games. This only tells part of the story though. Both games have only been won inside the last six balls.
The Indian audience can look forward to this Abu Dhabi T10 clash on the Disney+ Hotstar app. The Northern Warriors and New York Strikers will go head-to-head at Zayed Cricket Stadium on Thursday, 28 November 2024.
West Indian Brandon King will be a key player when he walks to the wicket to face the new ball. Alongside him, captain Colin Munro will bring his wealth of T20 experience and strategic acumen to lead the team. The skipper led from the front with 59 runs not out off 28 balls against Bangla Tigers.
With Johnson Charles behind the stumps, the team benefits from his powerful West Indian batting flair and sharp wicket-keeping skills.
Sherfane Rutherford and Azmatullah Omarzai bring complementary skill sets. Rutherford is known for clearing the ropes effortlessly. He showed his brilliance with an unbeaten 103 runs off 40 balls against UP Nawabs.
Omarzai is a rising star from Afghanistan who brings versatility as a capable all-rounder. Ziaur Rahman, another handy all-rounder, provides additional depth with bat and ball.
The bowling attack, spearheaded by New Zealander Trent Boult, promises to make an impact with the new ball. Boult’s left-arm swing and pinpoint accuracy make him a dangerous weapon in the powerplay.
He was player-of-the-match against Chennai Braves. Saqib Mahmood will be another important pacer in the bowling lineup. He is fresh off a brilliant T20I series for England on his tour to the West Indies. The inexperience of the rest of their bowling lineup may be their biggest issue.
Kusal Perera and Evin Lewis form a destructive opening pair. Perera’s crafty stroke play and understanding of conditions, combined with Lewis’ brute power, ensures a strong batting powerplay. The Sri Lankan hit an unbeaten half-century against Team Abu Dhabi.
Lewis top-scored for the Strikers against the Gladiators. “Baby AB” Dewald Brevis will be given the freedom to express himself with several power-hitters still to follow in the lineup.
The middle-order is anchored by veteran match-winner Kieron Pollard. Kieron Pollard and Donovan Ferreira offer boundary-hitting in the middle and latter stages of the ten-over innings. Sunil Narine will provide handy knocks as a pinch-hitter in the lower-order batting too.
The bowling attack boasts a mix of pace and spin, led by the West Indian spin twins of Sunil Narine and Akeal Hosein, whose tidy spells will be menacing on spin-friendly tracks. The captain was player-of-the-match in last year’s encounter against the Warriors.
He also took two wickets against Team Abu Dhabi. Doug Bracewell and Matheesha Pathirana add firepower to the pace department. Bracewell’s control and Pathirana’s slinging action offer a unique challenge from different angles to opposition batters.
The Northern Warriors will know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a loss when batting first. They will want to change their fortunes by bowling first. The Strikers would have also noticed the trend of results being more favourable bowling first.
This fixture will be played as a night game at Zayed Cricket Stadium. You can predict that dew will be a factor in the second innings, potentially even part of the first innings. The team batting second will look forward to this. The new ball could be particularly useful with swing and seam in the powerplay.
The batters should largely enjoy scoring runs freely because of the pitch conditions and nature of the format.
The weather in Abu Dhabi is likely to follow the pattern of most of the tournament. There is no chance of rain, but temperatures will be confirmed as hot with a lot of humidity.
Both teams will know there is a lot at stake in this encounter. Either team could start to pull away from the pack also in the running for the knockouts. Both teams have had mixed results leading up to this fixture, which makes this a difficult one to predict.
The Northern Warriors have a number of quality white-ball cricketers in their lineup. It may come down to individual brilliance to swing the match in the favour of the Northern Warriors.
Bet on the Northern Warriors to win.
