The Bangla Tigers will face off against the UP Nawabs in the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2024 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Saturday.
Currently, the Tigers are struggling in ninth place with only 4 points from 6 matches, having won just two games this season. Key players like Hazratullah Zazai and Dasun Shanaka have shown promise with the bat, but the team has lacked consistency and depth in both batting and bowling.
In contrast, the UP Nawabs sit in a stronger position at sixth place with 6 points from their matches. Led by Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who has been impressive with 232 runs, the Nawabs boast a more balanced squad that includes significant contributions from Andre Fletcher and Avishka Fernando. Their bowling attack, featuring Tymal Mills and Binura Fernando, has been effective throughout the tournament.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is known for its favourable conditions for bowlers, offering significant support to both pace and spin. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, which can make it increasingly difficult for batters to score freely. This change in pace often disrupts their timing, leading to mistimed shots and fewer scoring opportunities. The variable nature of the wicket challenges batters to quickly adapt, testing their ability to maintain a consistent scoring rate throughout the innings.
