New York Strikers vs Deccan Gladiators Match Prediction
Defending champions Deccan Gladiators are ready to begin their title defence against New York Strikers in the T10 league final at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on 4th December.
New York strikers defeated Morrisville Samp Army by four wickets in the qualifier to get directly into the finals. On the other hand, the Gladiators had to overcome Team Abu Dhabi and Morrisville Samp Army to book their place in the second consecutive final.
Will the Gladiators win their second T10 title in a row or the New Yorkers will ink their name in history for the first time? Here we are with our analysis of the much anticipated final.
New York Strikers vs Deccan Gladiators Chance of Winning
New York strikers have had a very clean season. Finishing at the top of the table, reaching finals in one opportunity. This season has been nothing sort of a dream and they have put in the necessary work.
Their opponents on the contrary barely managed to reach the qualifier stage. But once they did, the defending champions know how to win the big matches. Here they are now after winning consecutive play-off matches to regain the honours.
Both the teams are equally competitive but we think it’s a 60/40 chance in the favor of Deccan Gladiators given their experience and performance, especially in Qualifier 2.
Our Prediction
Deccan Gladiators came from nowhere to defeat the Morrisville Samp Army in qualifier 2, all thanks to Andre Russell for his ferocious knock. While New York Strikers is a team to beat, we are leaning towards Deccan Gladiators. They look in red hot form and are hungry for victory.
Our prediction - Deccan Gladiators Win

We are backing Deccan Gladiators to win the final match.
New York Strikers vs Deccan Gladiators Match Toss Prediction
There will be a third-place match right before the final so there might be some wear and tear on the pitch as the final progress. Add to that the pressure of the finals. Hence, it is likely that the team winning the toss will look to bat first and post a massive total on the board. Additionally, the pitch has favoured the batters in Abu Dhabi.
Add to that the short format of the game which will entice the batters to go after the bowlers from the first ball.
Weather Report
The weather report states that Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi will have a maximum temperature of 33°c / 91°f. The chances of precipitation are bleak during the tournament. Hence, the teams need not worry about DLS and par score coming into the play.

New York Strikers Team Form
After losing their first match of the campaign, New York strikers made sure they never repeat the same mistakes they did in the first match. As things turned out, the strikers won all the following matches in the tournament including the qualifier, thus reaching the final.
Bowlers did well to restrict Morrisville Samp Army to just 81 runs in the qualifier match. Hosein, Rampaul, Thompson and Riaz picked up two wickets each. Strikers reached the target comfortably led by Waseem who scored 36 runs not out in just 16 deliveries.
The Strikers put up a clinical performance in that game and will expect to continue the momentum in the finals.
