Preview:
Abu Dhabi is sitting comfortably in the second position of the points table with 6 wins in 8 games. They are one of the Semi-Finalists for sure. Their opponents, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom of the points table having lost 6 out of 8 games and the two being washed out. ECB Blues will be on the edge from every match they play from now. Anything less than a win from here will see them bowing out of the tournament.
