MATCH PREVIEW
The sixth match of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 will be a face-off between Deccan Gladiators and Team Abu Dhabi at the Sheik Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Team Abu Dhabi finished at the fifth position within the Super League of Abu Dhabi T10 2019 with 2 victories within the total of 6 matches.
Team Abu Dhabi’s appearance is quite balanced with this year’s lineup. They have added the phenomenal Chris Gayle to the squad who is predicted to entertain many spectators together with his monstrous hitting ability. Alex Hales too can play a significant role in Team Abu Dhabi’s progress within the tournament. However, it isn’t certain if he can feature within the initial matches because of his commitment to state Sydney Thunder within the current Big Bash League in Australia.
Luke Wright was the star for Team Abu Dhabi within the last edition with 208 runs to his name in 6 matches at a mean of fifty-two.
With the ball in hand, Usman Shinwari can spearhead the attack. He’s coming back with recent performances within the recently finished Lanka Premier League. Except for him, Rohan Mustafa can play a key role in middle overs together with his off-spin bowling together with Hayden Walsh Junior. With the sheer talent, Obed McCoy and Chris Morris possess, it’s not possible to write off Team Abu Dhabi during this year’s Abu Dhabi T10.
Deccan Gladiators have lost their initial game of the tournament against Pune Devils by seven wickets. After losing the toss, they were placed into bat initially. Both the assaultive openers Muhammad Shahzad and Sunil Narine went for the glory shot and lost their wickets timely within the innings. They were pink-slipped cheaply by Nasir Hossain. The large fish Keiron Pollard was the subsequent one to follow them into the collapsible shelter as he was dismissed for a paltry 2 run knock. Thereafter, Cameron Delport resurrected the innings together with Prashant Gupta and managed to place on a stand of forty-one runs for the fourth wicket. It was the late flourish by Azam Khan that provided a ray of hope for Gladiators to cross the one hundred run mark. He scored thirty-seven off thirteen deliveries and helped Gladiators make 104 in their 10 overs.
Chasing 104, Pune Devils failed to have a perfect beginning as they lost their opener Tom Kohler Cadmore for twelve. An early dismissal couldn’t place breaks to the momentum as Chadwick Walton and Kennar Lewis smashed the bowlers to all or any components of the bottom. They seemed a partnership of twenty-seven runs for the 2d wicket. When Walton was dismissed, Kennar Lewis controlled one finish strong and competed for an undefeated match-winning knock of fifty-seven runs in twenty-eight deliveries that enclosed half a dozen vast sixes. Because of his brave effort, Pune Devils pursued the entire simply with four balls to spare and seven wickets in hand.
