Who will win Deccan Gladiators vs Team Abu Dhabi, T10 League 2019?
In-form Deccan Gladiators will bid for a fourth straight win when they take on Team Abu Dhabi in the T10 League. The match, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, takes place on November 20 and is scheduled to start at 20:00 local time.
The Gladiators lost their first match, but three wins in a row lifted them to the top of the table. Mohammad Shahzad was their batting star last time out, with a half-century in a 24-run defeat of Qalandars.
Team Abu Dhabi tied their first T10 League match and won their second, but heavy defeats batting second against Maratha Arabians and Bangla Tigers – the latter in spite of Avishka Fernando’s half-century – means they go into this game three points behind the Gladiators.

Deccan Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
DGL Team News
Sheldon Cottrell played in place of Migael Pretorius last time out, joining West Indies team-mate – who stepped into the team in the previous game of T10 League. Pretorius’ good form could mean he slots in for Zahoor Khan, however.
DGL Key Players
Shane Watson: Scored 30 from 15 balls in a blistering opening partnership with Shazad to get back to the form he showed in the first two games, in which he top-scored for the Gladiators.
Kieron Pollard: Scored a match-winning 45* in the first game and then took a wicket in the second to prove the impact he can make already.
Mohammad Shahzad: The former Afghanistan batsman hit his stride last time out, scoring six sixes in his 21-ball 57 at the top of the order.
DGL Team Form
Deccan Gladiators have won their last three consecutive games. They followed defeat to Delhi Bulls with a six-wicket win against Bangla Tigers – Shane Watson top-scoring in both of those games for the Gladiators.
Kieron Pollard then thumped a match-winning 45* from 22 balls in a five-wicket win against Karnataka Tuskers, before Mohammad Shahzad hit 57 in a total of 128/4 last time out – enough to earn a 24-run win against Qalandars.
Deccan Gladiators Predicted Playing 11
Shane Watson (c), Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Anton Devcich, Kieron Pollard, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ben Cutting, Migael Pretorius, Dan Lawrence, Sheldon Cottrell, Zahir Khan, Fawad Ahmed

AD Team News
Avishka Fernando and Hayden Walsh Jr stepped into the team last time out, in place of Niroshan Dickwella and Richard Gleeson. The latter had been on international duty with the West Indies.
AD Key Players
Moeen Ali: Bowled his first over last time out but was expensive and he could not add runs either. Nevertheless, he is a key all-round player and scored in the 30s in his two previous games.
Luke Wright: Hammered 48 from 23 balls against Northern Warriors, 40* from 25 balls against Maratha Arabians and 20 from ten balls last time out – he is in excellent batting form.
Ben Laughlin: Economical with the ball and he took two wickets last time out too, posting figures of 2-12 from his two overs.
AD Team Form
Team Abu Dhabi, after starting with a tie and then a win, have lost their last two matches. They conceded 138/2 against Maratha Arabians and could only reach 114/3 in reply despite Luke Wright’s 40* from 25 balls. Then, last time out, despite Ben Laughlin’s 2-12 they conceded 129/3 against Bangla Tigers and Avishka Fernando’s half-century was not enough to prevent a 27-run defeat.
Team Abu Dhabi Predicted Playing 11
Avishka Fernando, Luke Wright, Moeen Ali (c), Wayne Madsen, Alex Davies (wk), Rohan Mustafa, Lewis Gregory, Marchant de Lange, Ben Laughlin, Hayden Walsh Jr, Richard Gleeson
