If tournament organizers were asked how they would like the standings to look after 19 games, they would most likely come up with something quite like how the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 is currently looking. The top five teams all have six points, with The Chennai Braves in sixth place but only two points behind the leaders. Only Team Abu Dhabi, with 0 points from five games, is out of the elimination round.
And a table this close only happens with some upsets or teams returning from a loss with a run of victories. Morrisville Samp Army lost their first match but have been unbeatable since while Bangla Tigers had already lost both games but won by 9 wickets with 31 balls remaining on Monday and are right in the battle!
The Bangla Tigers are a squad in scorching form, having won three of their last four matches. They also boast the highest run scorer in the league starting the first inning. Jordan Cox, who has hit 238 runs at a strike rate of 235.64, looked in a bludgeoning mood on Monday night against Team Abu Dhabi. He hit 56 runs without conceding a wicket from 23 balls, accounting for 83% of the runs the Bangla Tigers scored in their chase, which they finished in 5 overs!
However, Cox isn’t the only one providing the Tigers with results at the moment. Daniel Sams was victorious in the ball game against Team Abu Dhabi, recording numbers of 3/11 from 2 overs. However, Shannon Gabriel was also a strong contender, having conceded just 2 runs while claiming 2 wickets and bowling a maiden in his 2 overs. Not only that, but Benny Howell also took 2/9!
The Bangla Tigers are a threat to everyone else as they rise the standings.

Morrisville Samp Army lost their first match before winning their next three in this competition.
Large victories can have a positive impact on the net run rate, but in the end, points are what matter most in a tournament’s group stage. Morrisville Samp Army is aware of the excitement surrounding the Bangla Tigers’ most recent victory, but they will probably stay in their bubble, having won their previous three games.
Following a loss in the first match, numerous analysts questioned whether players like Moeen Ali, Faf du Plessis, and Jason Holder were past their prime. These days, though, they aren’t asking those questions because Holder, the West Indian all-rounder, has taken three wickets in his last two matches.
Morrisville Samp Army
Moeen Ali (c), Andries Gous (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Faf du Plessis, Najibullah Zadran, Jason Holder, Muhammad Irfan, Basil Hameed, Peter Hatzoglou, Salman Irshad, and Qais Ahmad.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium
The weather has been consistent throughout the tournament, and the outlook for this match is for more of the same. It will be humid but not oppressively so, and the temperature will be in the mid-high 20s from start to finish.
The bowlers had the upper hand in Monday’s two games, but this is still a solid batting pitch, with a par score of more than 110 in the first innings.
The team that bats first has won two of the last four games, while the club that fields first has won two. However, it has been a long time since anyone chose to bat first, therefore we anticipate that the toss-winning skipper will elect to field once more ahead of this match.
Both teams have met in one match so far, with Morrisville Sump Army winning.
