The Gladiators will be missing out on Kieron Pollard, and Sheldon Cottrell for the ongoing T20Is versus Afghanistan. Anwar Ali and Asif Khan’s participation is in doubt as PCB hasn’t granted a NOC to them. Key Players Shane Watson would hold the key for Deccan Gladiators in what could be expected as a nerve-wracking duel. The all-rounder is one of the most bankable players in the current lot of cricketers participating in the T10 tournament. His expertise would be put to good use at Gladiators, as they are missing out on Kieron Pollard and Sheldon Cottrell. Anton Devich is one of the most explosive hitters in the modern era of T20 cricket. The 34-year-old could single-handedly win games for the Gladiators and wreak havoc onto the opposition if and when needed.

Delhi Bulls have roped in the quartet of David Willey, Ravi Rampaul, Angelo Mathews, and Dushmantha Chameera as the perfect replacements for four of their Pakistani players - Shoaib Malik, Aamer Yamin, Sohail Tanvir, and Mohammad Hasnain for the T10 tournament. The likes of Mohammad Nabi and Sherfane Rutherford won’t be available as well for their commitments in the Afghanistan-West Indies T20I series.
Eoin Morgan has had a great run in white-ball cricket played so far, be it as a batsman or as a captain. The English limited-overs skipper was in a terrific form with the bat in the lately conclude T20Is versus New Zealand and would hope to essay a similar exhibition in the T10 league as well. Angelo Mathews’ destruction laying potency is something which could be of great help to the tourists in the forthcoming game versus Watson’s XI. More than the ball, it is his lethality with the bat which on occasions could take on the mightiest of the bowler without enduring any duress.

The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium offers plenty of opportunities for the batsmen to amass runs under their belt. Any score above 160 would be a par total at this venue.
There is considerable pace and bounce at Abu Dhabi and thus, a high scoring contest could be put to witness.
The toss winning captain should consider to bowl first on this occasion. The majority of the matches played at the venue have been won by the team batting second, plus, taking into account the pitch report & weather conditions, it would be easier to hit boundaries in the latter half of the game.
Deccan Gladiators have immense potential underneath and will be the sure-shot favorites for the upcoming encounter. The Shane Watson-led side could be expected to register a scintillating triumph at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
