Match preview
Quetta Qavalry meet Royal Champs in the 27th match of the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10. Quetta have won all six matches and have already secured a playoff place, so this game offers a chance to confirm a top-two finish. Royal Champs have lost five of six and are out of contention.
Liam Livingstone has 100 runs at a strike rate of 175.43 for Quetta, and Muhammad Waseem, who has 11 career T10 fifties, struck 41 not out off 14 balls against Vista Riders. Evin Lewis adds flexibility, while Khawaja Nafay has hit 145 runs at 269 and Jason Holder and Fabian Allen finish. Holder and Abbas Afridi have 11 wickets between them, and Khuzaima Tanveer and Mohammad Amir have 14.
The Champs still have firepower. Jason Roy has 104 runs at close to 150, Aaron Jones can anchor or accelerate, and Brandon McMullen leads with 179 runs in six innings at 183. Rishi Dhawan and Haider Razzaq have 10 wickets together, Chris Jordan and Isuru Udana five, and Liam Dawson offers spin.
Quetta’s openers can take the first innings to 110 to 115 if they fire, and chasing around 100 is possible for the Champs, but early wickets would add pressure.
Sheikh Zayed Stadium usually offers true bounce and good carry for batters, and boundaries come freely once they are set. Pacers can extract bounce with the new ball, while spinners become more effective in the middle overs. Afternoon matches often see totals around 100.
At 5:45 pm local time on 28 November, Abu Dhabi is expected to be sunny and clear at about 27–28°C, with light winds and no rain.
