Abu Dhabi T10 League Cricket Match Prediction 2023 | Match 08 | Deccan Gladiators vs Bangla Tigers – Can Bengal Tigers win against the mighty Deccan Gladiators? | Nov, 30
Bangla Tiger’s plans for the opening game were thwarted by aggressive strokeplay by the furious New York Strikers batters. The margin of defeat was so large that the Tigers are now at the bottom of the table, with an NRR of -3.5. They have a long way to go before they can be considered a tournament power. But they’ll need to shrug off the sour memories of their opener yesterday because the Deccan Gladiators are going to come at them hard. Following their thrashing yesterday, they will face the reigning champions, but Gladiators are coming off a crushing setback in their second game and will be eager to make amends. The nature of this league requires you to be present and compete hard at all times in order to have the best chance of winning.
Deccan Gladiators vs Bangla Tigers Team Preview & Squads
Deccan Gladiators
Gladiators would have been optimistic about their chances in the middle innings after scoring 2 more runs than their first game and losing four fewer wickets to a club like Delhi Bulls. However, Quinton De Kock and the calypso pair of Johnson Charles and Rovman Powell wreaked havoc. The Gladiators were defeated by 9 wickets with 9 balls remaining.
All of the bowlers had a hard day on the field, with Englishman Luke Wood the lone wicket-taker. These things happen in T10, and the ability to rapidly recover from a setback is the measure of a champion team. Gladiators, having won a couple of editions, know exactly how to put this tiny setback behind them and maneuver their way back into the tournament. The battering they endured sent them to the bottom half of the standings, but if they play to their strengths against the Tigers, they’ll retake one of the top slots and send a strong message to the rest of the teams that they’re still in it for the long haul.
Deccan Gladiators Squads
Deccan Gladiators
Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Fabian Allen, Daniel Lawrence, Imad Wasim, Luke Wood, Zahoor Khan, Trent Boult, Mohammad Zahid, and Zahir Khan.
Bangla Tigers
To huff and puff your way to 100 runs only to have the opposition sweep you away in 8 overs is nothing short of a beating in T10 terms. The scorecard may imply otherwise, but it was not all doom and gloom for the Bangla Tigers.
They lost Chriss Lynn early on, but Jordan Cox and Kusal Mendis were extremely harsh on the opponents, scoring 60 runs in just four overs.
Kusal Mendis immediately followed Cox to the pavilion top, edging a skier to deep midwicket after he went too far over for a flick. Except for Daniel Sams, who had a respite early, none of the batsmen who came after could reach double figures. Despite dismissing opener Gurbaz in rapid succession, the Bangla Tigers bowlers went through the motions and were bewildered for the most part.
Overall, they underperformed and were left scratching their heads when the opponent put them under pressure. A few players may be benched for their next game, and the batting order may change, but they’ll need to put on a clinical display with the bat and the ball to compete with the Gladiators and climb out of the massive hole they’ve dug for themselves.

Benny Howell (c), Kusal Mendis (wk), Jordan Cox, Iftikhar Ahmed, Chris Lynn, David Miller, Rohan Mustafa, Carlos Brathwaite, Daniel Sams, and Matheesha Pathirana.
