PD vs QAL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Abu Dhabi T10 League Match - Jan 29th, 2021

Match 4 of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 has the Pune Devils taking on the Qalandars at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Friday.

The Qalandars, who boast of explosive players like Tom Banton and Ben Dunk, will get their first taste of T10 action this year with this fixture.

They possess a well-balanced side filled with experience and talent and will be eyeing a winning start to their campaign. While their batting unit has a lot of firepower, their bowlers - Chris Jordan in particular - will be key to their fortunes in the long run.

Their opponents, Pune Devils, gave a good account of themselves in their previous game against the Deccan Gladiators.

Riding on the fortunes of Chadwick Walton and captain Nasir Hossain, the Devils will fancy their chances given they have already played a game in this tournament. Adding the duo of Hardus Viljoen and Mohd Amir makes it even more interesting in the match's context.

Although both teams are well-equipped to take on the challenges of the T10 format, the Devils might hold the advantage ahead of this fixture. However, the Qalandars have a resourceful bowling attack in their ranks, which should make things difficult for the Devils.

All in all, an entertaining game of cricket beckons at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium to kickstart a triple-header on Friday.

Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Although there should be some swing on offer for the new ball bowlers, the ball should skid on nicely to the bat.

With this being an evening fixture, either side would want to bat first and make use of the conditions first up. 100 should be a bare minimum at this venue although either side's bowling attack might have other plans on their minds.
