The 1st Match of the Abu Dhabi T10 League is scheduled to play between New York Strikers and Bangla Tigers on Wednesday, 23rd November 2022 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

New York Strikers had appointed Aftab Ahmed as their head coach for their first edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League. They had hired the best players for the shorter format of cricket and we are sure that they will give a tough time to the other teams in this tournament. Kieron Pollard is a well known and experienced player in T20 cricket and he will be leading the Strikers in this tournament. The batting order of this team is also strong and experienced. Azam Khan will open the batting inning for New York Strikers. He had recently played in CPL T20 and had played the main role. We are expecting that he will prove their main batter.

Eoin Morgan, Paul Stirling, and Romario Shepherd are other dangerous batters in the squad of New York Strikers. Eoin Morgan had led England in a lot of T20 matches and has a lot of experience. We think that he will be opening the batting inning for New York Strikers with Azam Khan. The bowling unit of this team is also experienced. Wahab Riaz is an experienced bowler of the shorter format of cricket while Muhammad Waseem had been the part of Pakistan team in the recently played T20 World Cup and he also performed well. Andre Fletcher and Kesrick Williams are two other experienced bowlers while Muhammad Farooq from Afghanistan is also part of the bowling squad of this team. Akeal Hosein, Ravi Rampaul, and Stuart Binny can also be used as bowlers.

Bangla Tigers were good but not the best in the previous season of the Abu Dhabi T10 League. They had made a lot of changes in their squad for the sixth edition of this tournament. Dougie Brown is the head coach of this team while Shakib Al Hasan had been appointed as the new captain of the Tigers. The top batting order of the team is dangerous and we think that Hazratullah Zazai and Colin Munro will open the batting inning for this team. Iftikhar Ahmed is also part of the batting squad of the Tigers. He had played in ICC T20 World Cup for Pakistan and played a major role in the batting order of Pakistan. He had played a lot of cricket in Abu Dhabi and we think that he will play a main role for the Tigers.

Joe Clarke, Benny Howell, and Ben Cutting are available to handle the middle batting order of this team. Bangla Tigers are very rich in the bowling department. Mohammad Amir will be leading the bowling unit on this side. He had been just outstanding in the recent season of CPL T20 and also had a lot of experience playing in Abu Dhabi. Dan Christian, Jake Ball, and Lewis Gregory are other experienced bowlers on this team. Nurul Hasan had played a lot of T20 cricket for Bangladesh and we are sure that he will play the main role for Bangla Tigers. Rohan Mustafa and Chirag Suri had been part of the national team of Abu Dhabi and they are also playing at their home ground. We are expecting that these local guys will be the main players of this team.
