TEAMS PREVIEW

Morrisville Samp Army Preview

The Samp Army squad looked completely out of sorts and not a performance you would expect given the players they have. They would need to perform much better with both Bat and Ball to ensure a seat in tomorrow’s Final.

Against New york strikers in Qualifier 1, they performed poorly with the bat. Samp Army lost two wickets inside the first five balls itself. There were no real partnerships as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Only three batsmen managed to get to double figures as they managed to put up 81/9 on board. While defending, Maheesh Theekshana starred with his 3/12 but it wasn’t enough to see his team through to the final.

Their bowling seems to be spot on, but to make it to the final, they really need the batsmen to contribute some runs for the bowlers to defend.

Key Players: Moeen Ali(C), Maheesh Theekshana, Shimron Hetmyer, David Miller

Morrisville Samp Army Predicted Playing XI:

Moeen Ali(C), Johnson Charles(w), Karim Janat, Basil Hameed, Dwaine Pretorius, Shimron Hetmyer, David Miller, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Sheldon Cottrell, Ahmed Raza

Team Abu Dhabi Preview

It was a rough journey for the gladiators throughout the tournament as they made it through to the knockout stages. They were fourth on the table as they made it to the eliminator. Batting first, DG were struggling at 28/4 at the end of 4 overs. Courtesy of Odean Smith’s 15-ball 32, Deccan Gladiators managed to put up 94/6 on board.

Defending the total to advance ahead, the Gladiators put up a magnificent bowling performance. Sultan Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Josh Little all picked up two wickets a piece to help their side bag a 5-run win. They were exceptional with both bat and ball and will have to continue a similar form in Qualifier 2, which will be the perfect ending to this day for them.

Team Abu Dhabi Predicted Playing XI:

Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Will Smeed, Nicholas Pooran(C)(wk), Andre Russell, David Wiese, Odean Smith, Sultan Ahmed, Tabraiz Shamsi, Zahoor Khan, Zahir Khan, Josh Little

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be a warm and sunny night game with humidity being as high as 70%. The maximum and minimum temperatures will be in the 30°C - 20°C range with zero to no chances of precipitation. 

Venue Details

The wicket at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is absolutely flat with no help for bowlers whatsoever. There is an even bounce on the track which the batters can rely on to play their shots freely. To aid the batters, the boundaries are much shorter which help them clear the fence quite convincingly. It’s a fast outfield and a high-scoring game is on the cards.

Toss: To Bat

It is a batting-friendly wicket, however, the wicket gets slower as the game progresses which makes it difficult to get the runs on board. Hence, putting up a total for chase will be the right way to go ahead with.
