Abu Dhabi T10 League, Day 8: Preview, Live Streaming, Key Players, Prediction

Match no. 20: The Chennai Braves vs Team Abu Dhabi

The Chennai Braves would feature in the clash against Team Abu Dhabi, in an all-important game that could decide the fate of the former. While the Abu Dhabi side are placed fourth, their rivals are second last. Having lost three from five, the Braves are in a spot of bother. 

Key Players

• Peter Hatzoglou has been the star with the ball with 7 wickets from games, his bowling has been exceptional.
• Carlos Brathwaite has shined in this tournament with 121 runs and 6 wickets, giving real hope to his side.

Prediction

The games have been pretty much interesting and by just glimpsing at the lineups, this one should be up there. Going by the recent form, Abu Dhabi have the upper hand and should dominate in this game.

Match no. 21: Bangla Tigers vs Deccan Gladiators

The top-placed Gladiators will challenge the sixth-positioned Tigers, which makes it even more interesting. Three wins from five games put Gladiators in a good place, giving them six points while the Tigers have only fared in two from as many games.

Key Players

• Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been in decent form with two wonderful quick innings, should expect him to score big.
• Iftikhar Ahmed was on fire in the last game where he thumped 83* from 30 balls, helping his side to achieve the victory.

Prediction

The points table doesn't suggest how Bangla Tigers have played so far, they have been unlucky in the competition. If they click together again, chances are they would triumph over this Gladiators side.

Match no. 22: New York Strikers vs Northern Warriors

Another crazy game is on the cards with New York Strikers led by Eoin Morgan clashing against Northern Warriors. The Strikers have won three out of their four which gives an automatic boost, putting them in the second position. Their opponents, however, have only done well in two of their five, which keeps them mid-table in fifth place.

Key Players

• Azam Khan could play another outstanding knock after his last one, considering he has gotten back his touch.
• Rovman Powell's striking power is a no-match for anyone when he is in full flow, could be playing another useful inning.

Prediction

Without any doubt, Strikers look a better side and should finish the match with two points to their tally. The format has been mostly unpredictable but still they should emerge victorious.
