Vista Riders have climbed to second place after back-to-back wins and enter this Abu Dhabi T10 fixture in good heart. Faf du Plessis has set the tone at the top, scoring 113 runs from four matches at a strike rate of 188.33. Dwaine Pretorius has added 75 runs at a rate of 203 in the middle order, while Sean Dickson and Ben McDermott bring power to accelerate the innings.
Andrew Tye leads the attack with seven wickets at 9.25, Dhananjaya Lakshan and Sharafuddin Ashraf will look for early movement, and left-armer Awais Ahmad adds variety and knows the Abu Dhabi conditions.
Ajman Titans lost their first two matches before bouncing back with two wins in a row. Alex Hales has scored 72 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 164 and is the backbone of the batting. Moeen Ali is the top scorer with 134 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 285, and he, Aneurin Donald and Rilee Rossouw can all produce quick 20 to 30 run innings at a rate above 200 once settled. The bowling has variety: Jason Behrendorff offers early control, Zaman Khan and Akif Javed have four wickets each, and Piyush Chawla and Chris Green keep the middle overs tight, with Green also useful lower down the order.
