Tournament favorites Deccan Gladiators will face off with a frailing Team Abu Dhabi in the 18th match of the ongoing T10 tournament in an attempt to stay atop the Super League points tally. Led by Shane Watson, the Gladiators have been enjoying a decent outing so far with three wins in four matches played and will be tenacious to hit the jackpot in the coming game as well. On the other hand, Team Abu Dhabi has been failing to register wins under their belt and will look for a change of tactics that could offer them a victory in the forthcoming feud.

Shane Watson and Mohammad Shahzad have been in top-perform lately and will be backed to continue the same in the coming encounters. Kieron Pollard and Ben Cutting have been in great nick this season and will don the role of finishers versus Moeen Ali's XI. Sheldon Cottrell will be spearheading the bowling department with his swing deliveries and along with Zahoor Khan and Fawad Ahmed could tear through the opposition lineup in a short interval.
Opener Avishka Fernando's quick-fire fifty was the only positive for Team Abu Dhabi in the previous duel. The likes of Moeen Ali and Luke Wright couldn't get those massive numbers during their stay in the middle and would be itching to go berserk in the coming duel. Lewis Gregory and Alex Davies would be banked to take on the scoring mantle in case the top-order falls prey to the opposition attack at the start of the feud. Bowling wise, they would rely on pacers Ben Laughlin and Marchant de Lange in getting those yorkers at the right places.
High chances of rain are being predicted for the coming contest. With the pitch becoming damp, the batters might find it difficult to get those boundaries in the second half of the play.
Taking into account the pitch and weather conditions, one could expect a low scoring total being put by the teams batting first on this occasion. In fact, any score above 100 could be a par total for the upcoming contest.
The toss winning captain should consider batting first on this occasion. Although the pitch at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium has helped the batsmen in the latter half of the play, one mustn't under the weather conditions which could make the matters worse for the batsmen in the second innings.
Deccan Gladiators have got just the right set of players who could win games from impossible situations. Moreover, the form of their players namely- Shane Watson, Mohammad Shahzad, and Kieron Pollard has been at pinnacle since the start of the T10 contests which has ensured comfortable wins for their side in the matches competed so far.
Thus, it shouldn't be surprising if they do manage to outshine the Moeen Ali-captained side by huge proportions in the much-coveted encounter.
