Heat Stormers vs Pearl Gladiators, Qatar T10 League 2019, Today Match Prediction 14 Dec 2019

hs vs pg Match Prediction & Analysis

Heat Stormers and Pearl Gladiators - two of the weaker teams in the ongoing T10 season would be locking horns in the final match of the league fixture scheduled to take place on December 15. Both teams haven't won a game so far and would be hoping to end their campaign on a winning note.

The Stormers might get a slim chance of making it to the playoffs provided Flying Oryx, who are seated at the fourth spot, with three points and an NRR of -1.853 losses out their final duel and Stormers manage to outwit the Pearl Gladiators in the upcoming feud by gigantic proportions. 

Pearl Gladiators, on the other hand, are nowhere in contention of making it to the playoffs and are thus seated at the bottom of the points table hoping to put an end to their frailing performance this season. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Heat Stormers Preview

The Stormers would be overly reliant on opener Sikandar Raza and wicket-keeper Scott Edwards for the upcoming contest following their swashbuckling knocks of 87* and 26 respectively in the recent outing. Manpreet Gony could wreak havoc provided he goes berserk during his stay in the middle, and along with Satvir Singh and Dharmang Patel who are potent in big-hitting prowess could form the core of Stormers' batting in the coming lineup.

Bowling wise, they would be reliant on Gayan Munweera and Raja Amir for getting the early breakthroughs with their pace prowess.

Heat Stormers Predicted Playing XI:

Manpreet Gony (c), Gayan Munaweera, Raja Amir, Owais Ahmed, Imraz Rafi, Talal Ahmed, Satvir Singh, Dharmang Patel, Sikandar Raza, Scott Edwards (wk), Andri Berenger

Pearl Gladiators Preview

The opening trio of Mehran Khan, Mukhtar Ahmed and Sohaib Maqsood would hold the key for Gladiators if they are vying to settle with a victory in their final T10 encounter. Khan, in particular, could be a match-winner considering he opens the inning and could go on a rampage as per the situation's behest.

Bowling wise, skipper Mohammad Sami would be expected to put his T20 experience to good use in the dead-rubber feud along with Mehran Khan and Philip Joseph who would be hoping to take a wicket or two. Spinner Malinda Pushpakumara could be a handy pick for his spin-potency in the middle overs of play. 

Pearl Gladiators Predicted Playing XI:

Mohammad Sami (c), Mukhtar Ahmed, Mohammed Nadeem, Philip Joseph, Karim Sadiq, Adnan Ilyas, Mehran Khan, Saqlain Arshad, Malinda Pushpakumara, Sohaib Maqsood, Faisal Javed (wk)
