Abu Dhabi vs Dubai, Emirates D10 League
Abu Dhabi’s final group game at the Emirates D10 tournament could be key in their hopes of snatching the final play-off place. They take on fellow strugglers Dubai at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on August 5 and the live action starts at 22:00 local time.
Abu Dhabi start the day against table-topping Sharjah, before this key fixture against their fellow strugglers. They go into the day with two wins from eight matches so far, but lost heavily to Dubai when they last met – Adnaan Khan (43*) and Fahad Nawaz (38*) leading Dubai to a ten-wicket win as they reached 88/0 in just 6.5 overs.
Dubai, however, also go into this day with two wins from eight games in total. They take on Ajman after this match, having failed to live up to the heights they briefly showed when they tied with ECB Blues first up only to lose on boundary countback.

DPS Team News
Dubai continue to make a couple of changes between matches. They are likely to continue to do so in the next couple of games.
DPS Key Players
- Fahad Nawaz: The 20-year-old all-rounder has been particularly impressive with the bat and has scored 258 runs so far.
- Faisal Amin: Took seven wickets so far and capable of runs up the top of the order too, he is a hugely important all-rounder.
- Adnaan Khan: He has two half-centuries to his name, scoring 239 runs from eight innings in total alongside Nawaz at the top of the order.
DPS Team Form
Dubai were unable to defend 140/1 against ECB Blues, despite half-centuries from Adnaan Khan (66) and Fahad Nawaz (53*) and then fall short with the bat in defeats to Sharjah and Fujairah to leave them with two wins from their eight matches.
Dubai Predicted Playing 11
Fahad Nawaz, Adnaan Khan (wk), Faizan Sheikh, Faisal Amin, Rahman Gull, Ibthisam Sait, Mohammad Rashid (c), Fahad Tariq, Fahad Al Hashmi, Shafaqat Ali, Imran Haider
Abu Dhabi Team News & Playing 11
TAD Team News
Abu Dhabi’s main selection issue will be whether Rameez Shahzad returns. He is key at the top of the batting order and will partner Ali Abid if he is available for Abu Dhabi’s final day of group stage action.
TAD Key Players
- Ali Abid: Hit 66* and 83* in Abu Dhabi’s last two matches at the ICC Academy to prove Abu Dhabi can cope without Shahzad at the top of the order.
- Rameez Shahzad: Despite that, three half-centuries in six innings going into this day proves Shahzad’s importance up there too.
- Dilawar Khan Orakzai: Took ten wickets in six games at the ICC Academy and will want to sign off from the group stage with more of the same.
TAD Team Form
Abu Dhabi went into the final day with just two wins from eight games – both of which came against Ajman. That did include their most recent day of action, when Dilawar Khan Orakzai and Ali Abid starred in win number two. They lost to Fujairah next up, however, and then faced Sharjah in their most recent game.
Abu Dhabi Predicted Playing 11
Rameez Shahzad, Ali Abid, Ghulam Farid, Kai Smith (wk), Usama H. Shah, Graeme Cremer (c), Rizwan Ali, Ghulam Murtaza, Dilawar Khan Orakzai, Aryan Lakra, Vinayak Vijayan
🏆 Dubai vs Abu Dhabi Prediction
Both teams come into the final day with two wins from eight games. Dubai won when these teams last met, however, which could give them the edge.
