NW vs DG Team Previews

Northern Warriors

Captain Thisara Perera’s work will be cut out for him against the defending champions. The top order is going to need to break the back of any total that the team wants to defend or chase down. The alarm bells will be ringing if the top four batters fail.

The side’s innings against Ajman rested on the shoulders of Johnson Charles, who scored more than half of the team’s runs. Only 3 of the 9 batters in that innings passed the double-digit mark.

While Trent Boult remains a class act, he lacks the support around him to be effective with the new ball. Against Ajman Titans, Taskin Ahmed and Shahnawaz Dahani got taken for 36 runs in 2 overs and 24 runs in 1 over respectively. Uzair Khan and Shahid Butta offer very little threat against world-class boundary-strikers.

Northern Warriors Expected Playing 11

Colin Munro, Johnson Charles (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Thisara Perera (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Odean Smith, Shahid Butta, Uzair Khan, Trent Boult, Shahnawaz Dahani, Taskin Ahmed

Deccan Gladiators

The Deccan Gladiators remain the gold standard for a team to bet on in the Abu Dhabi T10. Openers Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Nicholas Pooran lead the positive intent in the powerplay. The Gladiators offer immense stability through their middle-order firepower.

All-rounders Marcus Stoinis and David Wiese have been seeing the white cricket ball like a beach ball after back-to-back blitzes with the bat. Both Stoinis and Wiese hit 30s against the Qavalry.

Noor Ahmad is an ever-present threat as a wicket-taker and an economical bowler. He returned 1 for 9 in 2 overs against Quetta Qavalry. They also have the back-up spin of Akeal Hosein, who prefers drift in the air as his modus operandi to outfox the batters.

The bowling group impressed by restricting Quetta to 112 for 3 in the side’s last performance.

Deccan Gladiators Expected Playing 11

Nicholas Pooran (c/wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, David Wiese, Marcus Stoinis, Andre Russell, Laurie Evans, Jordan Thompson, Muhammad Jawadullah, Ajay Kumar, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad

NW vs DG Toss Prediction

Bowling first is likely to be the preferred option at the toss. Both teams lost their previous game by batting first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

At Zayed Cricket Stadium, batters can expect a superb wicket tailor-made for big totals in T10 cricket. The consistent bounce encourages free stroke-play. Fast bowlers may enjoy brief new-ball assistance. Spinners might benefit from the dry surface offering turn. Deccan Gladiators could only walk away with 111 for 4 in their previous match.

Weather conditions will be sunny and hot, with a very gentle breeze. The humidity level will be high. The five percent chance of rain is unlikely to impact this match.

NW vs DG: Who Will Win?

The Deccan Gladiators have already started the current season with the same sensational form that saw them charge towards last year’s title. Having got through games when under pressure and beating teams convincingly, the Deccan Gladiators should start as favourites.

Bet on Deccan Gladiators to win.
