ABOUT THE MATCH
On November 15, the two new franchises of Abu Dhabi T10 league Qalandars and team Abu Dhabi get their campaigns underway at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium. Both the franchises go head to head in group B of the tournament.
Qalandars are unhappy with PCB’s decision to withdraw their players’ no-objection certificates, forcing them to replace all the 11 Pakistan players including captain and marquee player Shahid Afridi. David Malan is now the captain of Qalandars.
The former England coach Trevor Bayliss will lead the team Abu Dhabi. They have lost only one player in Mohammad amir.
TOSS PREDICTION
The team that wins the toss is most likely to opt to field first.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
As Sheikh Zayed cricket stadium looks little bouncy, we can expect plenty of runs from the batsman.
