UAE T10 LEAGUE, 2022

Match 24- TAD vs BT

Preview

TAD will lock horns with BT in the 24th match of the UAE T10 League 2022. The match will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, 1st December 2022 at 07:45 PM IST. 

TAD lost their first encounter before their second game ended in a draw. Since then, they have won three matches in a row and are looking in sublime touch. In the meantime, BT has struggled with their form and has managed to win only two games in the six matches they have played so far. 

The Abu Dhabi-based franchise won their latest match against the Chennai side by 7 wickets. CB in the first innings scored 71 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. Naveen ul Haq and Andrew Tye took three and two wickets respectively to restrict the opponent to a low-scoring target. Chris Lynn charged in the second innings scoring 39 runs in 25 balls with Fabian Allen scoring 33 leading to their team’s victory with 8 balls to spare.

On the other hand, the Bangla franchise lost their previous game against the Deccan side by 10 wickets. When other batters were struggling against DG’s pace,  Iftikhar Ahmed came at the need of the hour and smashed 54 runs off just 21 balls to lead BT to a decent score of 108 runs. But all went in vain as the DG side finished their winning hopes in a whisk as the openers Tom Kohler-Cadmore and skipper Nicholas Pooran smashed two stunning half-centuries to complete the run chase in just 6.1 overs.

Match Details

Match:  TAD vs BT, 24th Match, T10 League 2022

Date: Thursday, December 01, 2022,

Time: 07:45 PM

Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi 

Pitch and Weather Report

In recent times, there have been a lot of tournaments happening in Dubai. When it comes to T20I cricket, there have 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 pressure 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 up to 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.
