Preview 

The 5th match of the UAE T10 League 2022 will be held between BT & NW. The match is scheduled for Sunday, November 26, 2022, at 05:30 PM. BT has won only one out of three games total played and are placed in the 6th place on the points table.

The Bangla team played their last match against the Chennai franchise. The match ended in a 33-run defeat for BT.

On retaliating in the second half, only Adam Lyth played a successful inning of 51 runs off 22 balls but lacked support from other batters which lead to their loss. 

Match Details

Match: BT vs NW, 10th Match, UAE T10 League 2022

Date: Sunday, November 27, 2022

Time: 05:30 PM

Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Pitch and Weather Report

In near times, there have been a lot of tournaments happening in Dubai. When it comes to T20I cricket, there has been a total of 63 matches at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The team batting second has won 35 matches out of the total. 

In the T10 format of the game, it is important to get a high-scoring target on the board. Batters play a greater role than the bowling department in this game. This is because a bowler gets only 2 overs which is comparatively lesser than other formats and it is tough to execute their plans within such a short span. Hence, the captains winning the toss might prefer to bat first and score maximum runs. This will pressurise the chasing team and restrict the flow of runs. 

The average run at this venue is 135 runs and the average per over is approx 7 runs in T20I cricket. However, it would definitely change in the T10 League games.

November will be slightly cooler as compared to other months. The maximum temperature here in Abu Dhabi can reach upto 30 degrees Celsius and the lowest can be around 21 degrees Celsius. 

The report shows a bit of cloud at the end week of the month but it is unlikely to cause an impact on the league matches.

Match Prediction

NW will be desperate to fetch their first win of the tournament but they have to develop in the bowling department. They have another chance to win before this match. BT already has played three matches and will be curious to get their second win in the fourth match. But they show signs of poor form in both departments. Thus, we back NW to win this match.
