Getting through the group stage is one achievement but both Deccan Gladiators and Bangla Tigers will feel that they are yet to hit the heights that they can achieve in this year's Abu Dhabi T10.
The sides are both now only three victories away from winning the tournament and for the Gladiators that would mean successive titles! After having occupied the third and fourth places in the group stage, both now need to go up another level or two if they are to challenge for the trophy.
When the sides met at the end of last month, it was Bangla Tigers who came away with the win and the two points with a victory by 20 runs.

The Gladiators have had the swagger of champions at times during this campaign but they come into this Eliminator after losing by 6 wickets to Morrisville Samp Army in their final group stage game on Wednesday.
Tom Kohler-Core and Nicholas Pooran got the innings off to a fast start but neither were able to kick on after getting into double-figures. Andre Fletcher was the key batter on Wednesday with 52 not out from 27 balls and he will be looking to build on his five sixes from that innings in this knockout fixture.
The bowling unit took only 4 wickets against Morrisville, but in this must win game, we expect Luke Wood and Trent Boult to step up with the new ball.
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Daniel Sams, Avishka Fernando, Dasun Shanaka, Carlos Brathwaite, Benny Howell (c), Rohan Mustafa, Dominic Drakes, Haider Ali, Shannon Gabriel

Bangla Tigers have been understated throughout this campaign but have still slipped into fourth place and into the knockout stage. They picked up their fourth win of the season with a 27 run win over The Chennai Braves on Thursday.
The Sri Lankan duo of Kusal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka top scored with strike-rates over 210 and scores in the 30s for both. We could well see Mendis promoted to open the innings in this match.
Haider Ali, Dominic Drakes, Benny Howell and Daniel Sams will be the key of the bowling attack on Friday.

It will be hot, humid and clear across this game on Friday evening in Abu Dhabi. According to the forecast, the temperature will not drop below 25 degrees across the fixture.

There has been a linear line of the runs drying up a little across the tournament and the bowlers starting to have more of an impact. A par total will be in the region of 95-100 and the ball will turn.
Delhi Bulls bucked the trend of the tournament and chose to bat first on Thursday but we expect both the Gladiators and the Tigers to choose to field first in this match on Friday.
This looks like being a very close game and we think the opening batters could hold the key. With Tom Kohler-Core and Nicholas Pooran at the top of the order for Deccan Gladiators, we are backing them to win and progress in the tournament.
