ABD Team News
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders registered a big win in the last game thus they should not make too many changes in the combination. They dropped Josh Little in the last game but there is a possibility that he may return to the side.
ABD Key Players
- Andries Gous- Andries Gous played a whirlwind knock of 95 in the first game but has since played three below par scores. Gous being an opener has a good chance of playing a big innings if he survives the new ball. He has skills and abilities to be a match winner for his side.
