Quetta Qavalry have been the surprise of the new Abu Dhabi T10 season, strolling to four consecutive wins to take the top spot. The newcomers have impressed in each outing, and their batting is both deep and versatile. Liam Livingstone has 71 runs at a strike rate of 198, and Muhammad Waseem and Evin Lewis offer further firepower. Waseem has 11 T10 fifties, including a recent unbeaten 50 off 19 balls against UAE Bulls, and knows these conditions well.
Khawaja Nafay, Jason Holder and Fabian Allen lift the tempo in the middle and later overs, and Nafay tops the tournament’s batting with 109 runs at a strike rate of 311.42. In the field, Holder and Abbas Afridi have shared nine wickets, while Khuzaima Tanveer and Mohammad Amir can strike in short spells.
Aspin Stallions have had a tougher time, with one win from three. Their bowling has some quality, but the batting has lacked rhythm. Andre Fletcher leads with 71 runs from three games at a strike rate of 215, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Avishka Fernando have each passed 50 and can add quick 20 to 30 run bursts at strike rates above 170. Sam Billings and Ben Cutting provide finishing power. Zohair Iqbal has taken six wickets, though at an economy of 12, with Ashmead Nedd, Binura Fernando and Tymal Mills offering depth.
