Who will win Deccan Gladiators vs Delhi Bulls, T10 League 2019?
Two of the T10 League’s new franchises get their tournament underway when Deccan Gladiators meet Delhi Bulls in a Group A fixture at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on November 15. The live action starts at 18:45 local time.
Deccan Gladiators are led by icon player Shane Watson and have one of the strongest-looking teams on paper, though two key players – Kieron Pollard and Sheldon Cottrell – are currently on international duty.
Delhi Bulls are also captained by their icon signing – England captain Eoin Morgan. Their preparations have been hit, however, by the fact Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Hasnain and Aamer Yamin have had their NOCs withdrawn by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Deccan Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
DGL Team News
Kieron Pollard and Sheldon Cottrell will miss the start of the tournament due to international duty, but Zahir Khan and Mohammad Shahzad are not in the Afghanistan squad in that series. Asif Khan and Anwar Ali’s participations are in doubt as the Pakistan Cricket Board have removed his NOC – though the Gladiators have been much less affected than some other teams.
DGL Key Players
Shane Watson: Set to lead the team, having been signed as marquee player too. The Australian veteran finished the IPL in superb form, scoring 50 and 80 in his final two games. He has a T20 strike rate of 138.74.
Chandrapaul Hemraj: Announced himself with some excellent all-round performances in the Caribbean Premier League, batting brilliantly at the top of the order and bowling superbly in later games too.
Anton Devcich: The 34-year-old is an explosive hitter at the top of the order and useful option with the ball too. He scored 62 in the first of two warm-up matches against the touring England team in his most recent T20 action.

Delhi Bulls Team News & Playing 11
DB Team News
Delhi Bulls acted swiftly to replace their four Pakistan players – Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Hasnain and Aamer Yamin – after their NOCs were removed. David Willey, Ravi Rampaul, Angelo Mathews and Dushmantha Chameera have been signed in their place. Nevertheless, it was less than ideal preparation for a team who are already without Mohammad Nabi and Sherfane Rutherford for the start of the tournament due to the ongoing Afghanistan vs West Indies series.
DB Key Players
Eoin Morgan: The England captain was in excellent form as he led the team to T20i series victory against New Zealand and he is among the leading players on show in Abu Dhabi for this tournament too.
Paul Stirling: The big-hitting Irish opener scores runs at the top of the order and generally scores them very quickly. As Ireland qualified for the ICC T20 World Cup, he hit three half-centuries at the Sheikh Zayed National Stadium.
Angelo Mathews: The former Sri Lanka captain is back out of favour for his country, but he is a more than adequate replacement for Shoaib Malik, offering big hitting and experience.
DB Team Form
Delhi Bulls are another new franchise set for their T10 debut.
