Team Abu Dhabi vs Deccan Gladiators Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
In the tournament so far, TAD have only lost their solitary game against DG. The team boasts a batting unit with the inclusion of power hitters like Chris Lynn and Alex Hales, and will rely upon the duo to come up with a solid opening stand. Also, James Vince, being the highest run-getter with 168 runs from seven innings with an average of 42, has been in consistent form. Lynn is not too far behind as well, being the second-highest with 163 runs. Hales, who has been out of form in the tournament, will hope to get back to his groove in the important clash.
TAD possesses an extremely talented and potent bowling attack, of which three of them – Andrew Tye, Peter Hatzoglou and Naveen-ul-Haq – are in the top six highest wicket-takers of the tournament. The most fruitful strategy for the team has been to restrict opponents on a low score and chase the total and they might stick to it in the eliminator as well.
Batting has been the forte of the Deccan Gladiators with the duo of Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Nicholas Pooran piling up 258 and 253 runs respectively. Unsurprisingly, the duo are the top two run-scorers in the tournament and DG have massively benefited from their form. Adding to that, Odean Smith has the ability to play fiery knocks in the lower order if required.
However, DG’s bowling department’s performance has been a cause of worry, and they will need to rise to the occasion in the Eliminator. Mohammad Hasnain, who has played recent fixtures, might make a difference with his pace in the shortest format where the batters always take a wild swing at the ball.
Team Abu Dhabi vs Deccan Gladiators Match Toss Prediction
In the last five T10 games played at this venue, teams have opted to bat first on three occasions. While the team winning the toss chose to field first in a couple of games. Out of these, the chasing teams have won the game thrice but in an important clash like Eliminator the team winning the toss is likely to bat first. The reason that team might go with the trend to bat first is they can put opposition under pressure with a huge total in the first innings.
Weather Report
The weather will be clear for a full game and so there will be no rain interference. The match will be played in slightly humid conditions and the fast paced format is expected to provide a lot of entertainment to the crowd.
