After swashbuckling victories in the last two matches, Deccan Gladiators would look to square it off versus Qalandars in what could be a nerve-wracking feud for the fans of both the teams to witness.
Led by Shane Watson, the Gladiators would be riding high on confidence and will look to opt whichever strategies plausible in ensuring a win in the coming game as well. Meanwhile, Qalandars will be coming into the contest on the back of a 47-run defeat at the hands of Maratha Arabians and will look to bounce back in the coming encounter.

Deccan Gladiators will aim to make the most of their winning momentum and thus wouldn't shy away from going berserk when in the middle. Skipper Shane Watson has been the go-to man for the Gladiators with a half-century in the first encounter, followed by a 40+ score in the penultimate duel. Along with Watson, the likes of Anton Devcich and Daniel Lawrence would hold crucial roles for Gladiators in getting those big numbers on board. Kieron Pollard scored a match-winning 22-ball 45 in the previous outing and would be expected to go mammoth in the coming feud as well.
Zahir Khan's spin prowess has been reaping benefits for the Shane Watson-captained lineup, and with Migael Pretorius and Fawad Ahmed taking wicket at regular intervals, one could expect the opposition lineup to be dismissed at petty totals.
Kieron Pollard, Ben Cutting, Zahir Khan, Dan Lawrence, Anton Devcich, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Zahoor Khan, Fawad Ahmed, Sheldon Cottrell, M Shahzad, SR Watson
Qalandars would look to rebound from the loss versus Arabians. Openers Tom Banton and Luke Ronchi haven't been getting those runs and as they remain a crucial selection for Qalandars, they would be expected to carry the onus of scoring the bulk of runs in the forthcoming feud. Skipper Dawid Malan has been in a stellar form of late and with the destructive middle-order duo of Philip Salt and Jordan Clark would be expected to go bonkers onto the opposition lineup.
Pacers Chris Jordan and Lahiru Kumara have been getting those early dismissals and with spinner Samit Patel could forge a lethal trio for Qalandars.

It's going to be a mostly clear day at Abu Dhabi ensuring a complete 20-overs of rain uninterrupted contest. The temperature would be hovering between 27-28 degrees Celsius with humidity levels as high as 58 percent. The average first innings score at Abu Dhabi in the ongoing T10 League has been 110. Spinners might get a chance to affect those dismissals amidst the slightly turning conditions of Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Batters might find it easier to get the ball across the boundary limits and chase gigantic totals set in the first innings without facing much duress.
The toss winning captain must consider to bowl first on this occasion. Six out of twelve matches played at this venue in T10 league 2019 have been won by the team that bats second. With scores above 110 being chased easily by the teams in the latter half of the duel it would only make more sense if the toss winning team decides to face the ball in the second innings of the match.
Deccan Gladiators have been in supreme form lately with wins in the last two consecutive games. The Shane Watson-led side looks potent enough of taking down the likes of Dawid Malan & Co in the coming duel and thus could be expected to wreak havoc in the coming feud. The presence of hard-hitting players like Kieron Pollard and Anton Devcich adds a certain degree of lethality to the Gladitarors which gives them an upper hand over Qalandars.
