Northern Warriors vs Team Abu Dhabi Team Previews
Northern Warriors (Match Odds – 2.40)
Rovman Powell would be disappointed if he had lost the previous game. Poor bowling and an inability to finish their batting as they would have liked saw the side lose by 6 wickets to the Delhi Bulls. They must put the setback behind them and focus on winning this game. They’d be up against a confident team, and Powell would want his team to put on their finest performance.
Moeen Ali performed admirably in the previous game, and he will try to deliver a strong start in place of Kennar Lewis, who was unavailable in the previous game. Samit Patel and Powell both performed admirably, with Patel deserving his promotion to No. 3. Ross Whitely would seek to rebound from his catastrophic performance in the previous game by adding quick runs with Chris Jordan and Umair Ali down the order.
Following their poor showing with the ball in the last game, Joshua Little and Imran Tahir would have a critical role to play. Abhimanyu Mithun did a good job, and he’ll try to block Umair Ali from scoring too many goals. Chris Jordan will have to put on a stronger performance after allowing runs in the last game. Moeen Ali’s participation expands the team’s bowling options.
Northern Warriors T10 Squad
Kennar Lewis, Moeen Ali, Samit Patel, Rovman Powell (c), Ross Whiteley, Chris Jordan, Abdul Shakoor (wk), Umair Ali, Abhimanyu Mithun, Joshua Little, Imran Tahir, Kaunain Abbas, Rameez Shahzad, Gareth Delany, Ansh Tandon, Mark Watt, Yo Mahesh, Rayad Emrit, Upul Tharanga
Predicted XI: Rovman Powell (c), Kennar Lewis (wk), Moeen Ali, Samit Patel, Ross Whiteley, Umair Ali, Chris Jordan, Abhimanyu Mithun, Joshua Little, Imran Tahir, Abdul Shakoor
Team Abu Dhabi (Match Odds – 1.57)
Liam Livingstone couldn’t have wished for a better start to the event, as all of his team’s chips went into place as they defeated the Bangla Tigers by 40 runs. The side put on a fantastic performance with the bat and the ball, and they hope to keep it up in this game to increase their place on the points table.
Paul Stirling delivered an exciting knock in the previous game, and he’ll seek to provide a solid start in place of Phillip Salt, who was ruled out. Chris Gayle looked sharp, and he joins Liam Livingstone and Jamie Overton in bolstering the middle order. They have players like Colin Ingram and Danny Briggs who can hit the ball hard and score runs.
Marchant de Lange took 5 wickets, however he needs to improve his economy rate and look for early wickets alongside Sheldon Cottrell, who failed to implement the plans. Jamie Overton and Naven-ul-Haq were excellent with the ball, and the team would like to see them perform similarly in the future. Bowling alleys can be found in Livingstone and Stirling.

Pitch and Weather Conditions
