Passing the group stage is one thing, but both the Deccan Gladiators and the Bangla Tigers will believe that they have yet to reach the heights that they can achieve in this year’s Abu Dhabi T10. Both teams are now only three victories away from winning the championship, which would mean consecutive crowns for the Gladiators! After finishing third and fourth in their respective groups, both must now advance another step or two if they are to compete for the trophy.
When the teams met at the end of last month, it was the Bangla Tigers who took the win and two points with a 20-run victory.
The Gladiators have occasionally carried themselves like champions this season, but they enter this elimination round having fallen to Morrisville Samp Army 6 wickets to none in their last group stage match on Wednesday.
The innings were quickly started by Nicholas Pooran and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, but neither was able to sustain momentum after reaching double digits. With 52 runs not out from 27 balls on Wednesday, Andre Fletcher was the standout batsman. In this knockout match, he hopes to improve on his five sixes from that inning.
Trent Boult and Luke Wood should step up with the new ball in this game that needs to be won, even after the bowling unit only grabbed 4 wickets against Morrisville.
Deccan Gladiators
Nicholas Pooran (c), Andre Fletcher (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Andre Russell, David Wiese, Fabian Allen, Imad Wasim, Luke Wood, Trent Boult, Zahoor Khan, Nuwan Thushara, and Nav Pabreja.
The Tigers secured the final playoff berth with a victory over the Chennai Braves on Thursday, which was sufficient to advance them to the knockout stage. With a 27-run victory over the Braves, they will need to improve both at bat and with the ball when they play the Deccan Gladiators.
Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis, who scored the most runs for the Bengal Tigers against the Chennai Braves, will be crucial players for the team in this match. After enjoying a remarkable run of success at bat, Jordan Cox has now left the competition to play in the Big Bash League with the Melbourne Renegades.
Throughout the tournament this year, the Bangla Tigers have employed a variety of bowling strategies, with each player occasionally contributing a wicket. On Thursday, Haider Ali took 2/17, but we anticipate that Benny Howell, Dominic Drakes, and Daniel Sams will be the match’s best bowlers.
Bangla Tigers
Benny Howell (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Daniel Sams, Dasun Shanaka, Avishka Fernando, Carlos Brathwaite, Rohan Mustafa, Haider Ali, Dominic Drakes, and Shannon Gabriel.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
The Delhi Bulls defied the tournament pattern by batting first on Thursday, but we expect both the Gladiators and the Tigers to field first in this encounter on Friday. It’s going to be a hot, muggy, and clear Friday night in Abu Dhabi for this match. The temperature won’t drop below 25 degrees throughout the fixture, per the forecast.
Although the pitch is not quite as fast as it was in the early days of the competition, it is still a decent batting track. There will be no par score greater than 105.
In the last five games, Deccan Gladiators have won three while Bangla Tigers have won two.
