Preview:
Deccan Gladiators’ start to their 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League was not what they ideally would have hoped for. They kick-started their campaign with a 7-wicket defeat against Pune Devils. Batting first, the Gladiators could only score 104.
While they picked up a wicket early on, they eventually were ripped apart by the brilliance Kennar Lewis. Kieron Pollard’s men will be aiming to make a quick turnaround, but the battle will be tough against last season’s third-placed side, Team Abu Dhabi. With the likes of renowned superstars like Chris Gayle and Luke Wright in their ranks, Team Abu Dhabi have one os the strongest squads on paper.

DG vs TAD Top picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:
Cameron Delport scored 25 runs in yesterday’s game. With the Gladiators losing 3 quick wickets early on, Delport’s knock was of great importance.
Azam Khan played the role of the aggressor while Delport was rotating the strike from the other end. Khan smashed an unbeaten 37 from 13 deliveries.
Ravi Rampaul was Gladiators’ best bowler in the last match. He conceded only 13 runs and picked the wicket of Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
Luke Wright was brilliant in the last season of this competition, where he amassed over 200 runs in just 6 games. He will be expecting to pull off something similar this time around.
One doesn’t ask for a justification before picking Chris Gayle. The global superstar has found success wherever he has played and is likely to set the T10 stage on fire as well.
