UAE T10 LEAGUE, 2022

TAD vs MSA, 17th Match

Preview

TAD and MSA will cross swords for the 17th match of the UAE T10 League, 2022. The match will be played at the neutral venue Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at 5:30 PM IST. 

TAD is having a menacing performance this season so far in this tournament. They are in the fourth spot with a win, a draw and a loss in their previous three matches handing them only three points so far. The Chris Lyn-led side won their last match against NW by 8 runs. Alex Hales and the skipper himself chased the target of 96 runs scoring 44 & 31 respectively. All credit to Naveen-ul-Haq and Andrew Tye for restricting the flow of runs by taking two wickets each. They now need a win in this game, to keep their hopes alive in this tournament.

On the other hand, the Morrisville Samp Army have started off their campaign in the league with three successive wins. They have only lost one match which is their last one against another new franchise from the United States, ‘NYS’. Although there was a phenomenal demonstration of excellence from their bowling side as Dwaine Pretorius and Karim Janat went on to take three wickets each along with Anrich Nortje picking up two scalps to restrict NYS to 110 runs. Moeen Ali scored 42 but all went in vain as the team fell short of 12 runs to lose the battle. They are currently in the second spot in the points table just below the Deccan franchise for their low net run rate. The Moeen Ali-led side has great chances of making it through the elimination rounds, unlike the TAD who have a lot more to do to earn a slot. Winning two crucial points will also be on their agenda to climb up and reign the points table. 

Match Details

Match: TAD vs MSA, 17th Match, UAE T10 League 2022

Date: Tuesday, November 29, 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 games 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.
