They have the same number of wins as of Morrisville Sampo Army but have a much superior run rate of 1.900. They are coming into this game with an 18-run win over DB.

The CB on the other hand are struggling in this season of the league. They have managed only one win out of the four matches they have played.

Match Details

Match: DG vs CB, 18th Match, UAE T10 League 2022

Date: Tuesday, November 29, 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 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.
