Preview:
We are about to enter the last day of the Super League stage in Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 season. Both Deccan Gladiators and the Maratha Arabians have registered just one win in five games. Deccan Gladiators has a bit of improved NRR but their story hasn’t been any different than the Arabians. The big names like Mohammad Shahzad and Kieron Pollard came out as the biggest disappointment for them.
They had a very poor season with the bat which resulted in the current situation of the Gladiators. However, there is an outside chance after winning the last game but can’t expect any team to lose with a big margin. On the other side, it has been nothing different for the Arabians. Except for Mohammad Hafeez, no one has been consistent throughout the tournament.
Zahoor Khan was also the only one fighting alone with the ball. However, it is almost over for the Arabians with only one win in five games, and would like to finish their 2021 campaign on a positive note with a win.
DG vs MA Weather Report for Match 22:
The weather forecast suggests another great evening for a cricket match. It will be sunny throughout the day with the temperature dropping to 23 Degree Celsius during the match time. There is no chance of rain as always.
Pitch Report:
The wicket has got nothing for the bowlers and it would be another run-fest coming up for the audience. Team batting second should be the priority after winning the toss as the deck doesn’t really change after the first half.
