It is the last day of the fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League and in the first match of the day, Qalandars will be taking on the Team Abu Dhabi in the third Playoff game. Both teams lost their respective knockout fixtures and will be battling it out for the bronze finish at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Qalandars were at the top of the Super League points table at one point and were looking like the team to beat. They were flying high with five wins in a row and were unbeaten till the final Super League fixture. Delhi Bulls handed Qalandars a drubbing before the knockouts before Team Abu Dhabi outplayed them in the Eliminator 1. Hence, the Sohail Akhtar-led side will be eyeing a consolation win to finish the season.
On the other hand, Team Abu Dhabi didn’t have the greatest of starts. They lost three out of their first four games in this tournament. However, at one stage, they won four out of five games and seemed to be on a roll. It looked like they could carry this momentum all the way up to the final. However, Northern Warriors beat Team Abu Dhabi in the Eliminator 2.

Pitch report
The scores while batting first in the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 League have gone down a touch in the last few games, especially in the playoffs. In fact, the 100-run mark has been crossed only once while batting first in the three playoffs games so far. But the track at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is likely to be an absolute batting beauty, and we could well be in store for another run-fest, with the bowlers having very little to play with. Thus, 110-115 could be a par score on this track.
