Match preview
Vista Riders and Quetta Qavalry meet in the 23rd match of the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Vista Riders have climbed to second place on three consecutive wins, while Quetta Qavalry have won all five of their matches to lead the table.
Vista Riders are built around Faf du Plessis, who has 116 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 181. Dwaine Pretorius has 79 at 180, and Sean Dickson and Ben McDermott add power. Andrew Tye leads the attack with nine wickets at an economy of 9.90, while Dhananjaya Lakshan and Sharafuddin Ashraf have five each and Awais Ahmad offers left-arm variety.
Quetta’s batting runs deep. Khawaja Nafay has 144 runs at a strike rate of 277, Liam Livingstone has 89 at 203, and Muhammad Waseem, who has 11 T10 fifties including a 50 not out off 19 balls against UAE Bulls, and Evin Lewis add firepower. Jason Holder and Fabian Allen provide late hitting. In bowling, Holder and Abbas Afridi have shared 10 wickets, and Khuzaima Tanveer and Mohammad Amir have 12 combined.
The first two or three overs may decide whether totals push beyond 120. With the pace of Amir, Afridi, Tye and Holder available, the powerplay could be a low-scoring phase.
Sheikh Zayed Stadium typically offers a true surface with good bounce that helps power-hitters. Afternoon matches can be slightly slower early on but remain favourable to batting. Seamers can extract bounce with the new ball, spinners grow in value in the middle overs, and dew later in the evening can help chasing teams.
At 3:30 pm local time on 27 November, Abu Dhabi should be warm and sunny at around 28–29°C, with clear skies, a light breeze and no threat of rain.
