UAE Bulls vs Northern Warriors Prediction & Match Preview – Abu Dhabi T10

UAE Bulls and Northern Warriors face off in the 20th match of the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Both teams have had uneven campaigns and are looking for a result that improves their position.

The Bulls have won two and lost two of their first four games. Opener Philip Salt leads the run charts with 123 runs at a strike rate of 256, Tim David has been scoring at 194, and Rovman Powell and Tom Moores both strike at above 200. In bowling, Junaid Siddique has five wickets at an economy of 9.37, with Muhammad Rohid Khan and Salman Irshad taking two each. Sunil Narine could feature as an impact substitute.

The Warriors have won two and lost three. Johnson Charles has scored 204 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 189, and Colin Munro has 84 runs from three innings. Hazratullah Zazai and Azmatullah Omarzai have both passed 40 runs. Tabraiz Shamsi has five wickets at an economy of 12.44, while Trent Boult and Taskin Ahmed have nine between them.

A strong powerplay can push the first innings towards 120, while early wickets would pull it closer to 110, so the opening overs are likely to set the tone.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium offers a true batting surface with good bounce and little early seam movement, and teams have regularly passed 110 this season. Seamers can extract bounce with the new ball, and spinners become effective in the middle overs as the pitch slows. Dew can help chasing sides, though a fast outfield and short boundaries mean even 115 is not entirely safe.

Weather

Around 3:30 pm local time on 26 November, Abu Dhabi should be warm and hazy at about 29–30°C, with mostly clear skies, light winds and no chance of rain.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 112–120
• 2nd innings: 108–115
