UAE T10 LEAGUE, 2022

MSA vs CB, 13th Match

Preview

MSA and CB will lock horns for the 13th match of the ongoing UAE T10 League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 27, 2022, at  07:45 PM. Morrisville Samp Army sponsored by Real11 Fantasy Sports has sealed their first win in the inaugural match of the tournament. They are sitting in third place on the points table. Whereas CB has shared two matches between winning and losing. They are placed in the fifth position in the league table. The Samp Army has the chance to win their second match which will be played on Saturday against the Delhi franchise at 10:00 PM. If they win their second match then they enter into this game with the hope of a hattrick of wins which would be indeed a phenomenal record for a new team.

MSA posted 100 runs in their first match against the Bangla franchise with Shimron Hetmyer scoring 38 runs, the highest from the batting side. In the second half, Dwayne Pretorious was outstanding with the ball and never left a chance to trick the opponents’ batters. He took three wickets in total and with the assistance of other bowlers, successfully restricted the Bangla batters to 85 runs, winning the match by a 15-run margin. 

The Chennai franchise also won their first match against the same Bangla team. CB posted 126 runs with Carlos Brathwaite smashing 44 runs off just 19 balls. Again the Bangla batting side collapsed except for Iftikhar Ahmed who scored 49 off 20 balls before getting run out. Again the credit goes to Brathwaite for his amazing all-round performance. He took four wickets alongside Olly Stone picking two which turned the game to their side. This resulted in the match ending in favour of CB winning by a massive 33-run margin with one ball left.

Match Details

Match: MSA vs CB, 13th Match, UAE T10 League 2022

Date: Sunday, November 27, 2022

Time: 07:45 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

MSA is an overall confident squad with good coordination between batters and bowlers. Although CB won their last match, the opponent was BT who is performing below the mark in this tournament. So they need to prove themselves before the Samp Army in this match. On the other side, there seems to be no problem with the Morrisville-based franchise and we expect them to win this encounter ahead of CB.
