QQY vs NRW Betting Tips
First dismissal of the match to be caught
With boundaries coming thick and fast in T10, this is a reassuring bet. Limited overs mean batters have to target big hits straight away, increasing the likelihood of catches. All Northern Warriors’ previous dismissals in the field came via catches.
First ball of the match to be a dot ball
The Northern Warriors will be focused on a disciplined start rather than chasing a wicket on the very first delivery. Looking to lay a solid foundation for the season, they may open conservatively before launching their hitters. This strategy adds value to this bet, further supported by their past Abu Dhabi T10 performance where the first six balls of their innings were dot balls.

QQ vs NW Team Previews
Quetta Qavalry
Quetta Qavalry operates with an “all-or-nothing” approach—capable of fireworks, but prone to collapses. That puts immense pressure on the batting to deliver against the Northern Warriors’ dynamic attack, led by Trent Boult’s new-ball prowess and Tabraiz Shamsi’s spin.
If Boult strikes early, Quetta’s inexperienced middle order could unravel. Liam Livingstone was the lone half-centurion last year, underscoring the fragility.
Bowling-wise, Mohammad Amir spearheads the pace but cannot carry the load alone. Holder struggles at the death, and support options like Abbas Afridi lack proven T10 credentials.
Imran Tahir’s higher economy makes him a target. Quetta’s flashes of brilliance are undermined by inconsistency and inexperience, especially against a settled Warriors unit.
Quetta Qavalry Expected Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Andries Gous (wk), Liam Livingstone, Sikandar Raza, Waseem Muhammad, Khawaja Nafay, Jason Holder, Mohammad Amir, Imran Tahir (c), Gudakesh Motie, Abbas Afridi

Northern Warriors
The Northern Warriors bring a devastating batting order—one of the tournament’s most formidable. The top trio of Johnson Charles, Colin Munro, and Shimron Hetmyer is tailor-made to attack the powerplay. Charles ended last season with two fifties and a strike rate near 200.
The middle order—Thisara Perera and Odean Smith—ensures there’s no respite, with Perera firing at over 200 last year. Even if Quetta gets early wickets, the Warriors have ample depth.
Their bowling is just as threatening: Trent Boult leads with swing and control, posting a sub-9 economy rate. Tabraiz Shamsi’s spin is a proven middle-overs weapon. Pace options like Dahani and Omarzai offer support, especially crucial in Abu Dhabi conditions.
Omarzai has previously shone here with 6 wickets in 7 matches. Overall, this attack has too many match-winners for Quetta to counter.
Northern Warriors Expected Playing 11
Johnson Charles (wk), Colin Munro (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Dinesh Chandimal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Thisara Perera, Odean Smith, Trent Boult, Tabraiz Shamsi, Shahnawaz Dahani, Prabath Jayasuriya
QQ vs NW Toss Prediction
Northern Warriors fared poorly when batting first but were unstoppable chasing last season. Given this record, the winning captain is likely to opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Zayed Cricket Stadium is a paradise for batters, encouraging high scores in T10. The wicket’s true bounce allows free stroke play. Fast bowlers may enjoy some early seam, but conditions favor hitters after that. Spin comes into play as dry heat persists. The Warriors themselves chased 110 successfully here last year.
Expect humid, hot conditions with minimal rain risk on opening day.
QQ vs NW: Who Will Win?
Back the Northern Warriors to overpower Quetta Qavalry. Their lineup boasts proven T10 stars, relentless batting, and a versatile attack. With experience and the firepower to dominate at both ends, expect the Warriors to control the contest from the outset.
Bet on Northern Warriors to win.
