Although it is Deccan Gladiators who are in the far stronger position, both teams have an excellent opportunity to finish in the top five places and progress to the knockout stage.
This makes for an exciting game as not only is there an opportunity to put down a marker and try to book a place in the next stage, but with both teams losing their last matches, there may be some players not quite as high on confidence as before.
Runs continue to be scored at a rapid rate in this Abu Dhabi T10 tournament and it would be a surprise if both sides were unable to post scores of 100+ in this fixture.

In spite of quick runs from both Jos Buttler and David Wiese, Deccan Gladiators were unable to post a competitive total against UP Nawabs and were easily beaten by 7 wickets with 9 balls remaining on Tuesday.
Therefore, they will need more of the others in the top four to deliver in this game which puts the spotlight on openers Tom Kohler-Core and Rilee Rossouw as well as captain-keeper-batter Nicholas Pooran.
With the ball, there were wickets for only Marcus Stoinis, Ibrar Ahmad and Richard Gleeson in the last game. That's something which Luke Wood will be looking to rectify in this match and he will almost certainly be given the new ball once again.

Bangla Tigers also come into this game off the back of a disappointing result and their bowlers were unable to tame the top three for Ajman Bolts with Alex Hales causing particular damage. That will have been noted by the Deccan Gladiators batters and the likes of Henry Brookes as well as David Payne and Rashid Khan will have to produce far better in this game or else it will be two defeats on the bounce.
Chasing 134 to win, Bangla Tigers had a batting line-up with none of the top five going beyond 21. Captain Shakib Al Hasan produced an entertaining 29 not out from 19 balls but more will be needed from the top order in this clash. That means Liam Livingstone stepping up and putting in a match-winning performance.
The Tigers had looked in excellent form prior to the last game and will be desperate to return to it in this fixture.

Humidity levels have crept up over recent days and are likely to be approaching 70% in this game. It will be another hot afternoon with the temperature up at 28 degrees throughout.

Sometimes a venue will start to offer a little bit more for the bowlers as the tournament progresses but that has not been the case at the Abu Dhabi T10 so far. It is still an excellent batting track with a par score of 140+.
Two of the three games on Wednesday were won by teams fielding first and although Bangla Tigers failed to chase down a target, we predict that both teams will want to field first in this clash.
Bangla Tigers could still get into the top five and progress in the tournament but we are predicting them to lose another game on Thursday. Deccan Gladiators will have been stung by their defeat in the last game and we expect them to respond with a win.
