DG VS CBJ MATCH 3

A triple header to kick off the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2024 - what better way to start the action-packed season? The final clash of the opening night brings last season's runners-up, the Deccan Gladiators, head-to-head with the Chennai Brave Jaguars, who narrowly dodged the wooden spoon last year. With the league expanding to ten teams this season, the stakes are higher than ever. More teams, an extra Eliminator, and five spots up for grabs in the playoffs promise non-stop drama! The Gladiators are a powerhouse, boasting an explosive top order featuring Jos Buttler, Nicholas Pooran, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore - players who can single-handedly take games away from their opponents. Adding to their firepower are Marcus Stoinis, Azam Khan, and Rilee Rossouw making them a batting lineup to fear. With David Wiese’s vast franchise experience and the English pace duo of Luke Wood and Richard Gleeson, they’re equally lethal with the ball. Spinner Maheesh Theekshana, fresh off a stellar series against New Zealand, and Khary Pierre complete their arsenal. On the other hand, the Chennai Brave Jaguars have their own arsenal of hard-hitters. Rassie van der Dussen, Chris Lynn, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa will be aiming to blast off in the Powerplay, while George Munsey and Dan Lawrence offer a more calculated approach. Thisara Perera’s all-round abilities could be a game-changer, while Oshane Thomas and Akila Dananjaya are pivotal to their bowling attack. Both teams will be eager to make a strong start, and with this much firepower on display, we’re in for a cracker of a game. The stage is set, the players are ready - who are you backing in this high-octane clash?
