What Happened on November 13: Results of Matches 13, 14 and 15

Friday’s triple-header produced three very different games. In the November 13 triple-header, United Tigers beat Emirates Eagles by 24 runs in Match 13. The Tigers posted 143 for 5, with Azmatullah Omarzai smashing 33 off just 9 balls, Joe Clarke making 33 and Fakhar Zaman 26, before Abbas Afridi’s 18 not out off 6 balls, including three sixes in the final over, lifted them to a match-winning total. Alex Hales fought back with an unbeaten 67 off 31 balls, but the Eagles finished on 119 for 2. Omarzai, who also took 1 for 23, was named Player of the Match.

Royal Desert Champions beat Yas Lions by 39 runs in Match 14. Brandon King smashed 66 off 28 balls and was named Player of the Match, with Nicholas Pooran making 26 and Philip Salt 24 as the Champions posted 136 for 4. The Lions, despite Tom Moores’ unbeaten 40 and Karim Janat’s 32, could only manage 97 for 6, with Naseem Shah taking 3 for 17.

Arabian Aces beat UAE Bulls by 8 runs in Match 15, in the closest game of the night. The Aces were rescued by Andre Russell, who smashed 46 off 18 balls with five fours and three sixes, exactly half of his team’s total of 92 for 8. Russell then struck twice in the ninth over, removing Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine in consecutive balls, and took 3 for 12 as the Bulls finished on 84 for 7. Pollard top-scored for the Bulls with 27 off 11 balls, and Russell was named Player of the Match.

Match 16: Royal Desert Champions vs United Tigers, 5:00 PM IST

The day opens with the form team of the moment against the table-toppers. Royal Desert Champions have won two in a row after losing their first three, beating UAE Bulls by six wickets and then Yas Lions by 39 runs, and they have found their batting rhythm at last. Brandon King’s 66 off 28 balls against the Lions was the innings of the tournament so far from a Champions batter, and with Pooran, Salt, Sherfane Rutherford and Muhammad Waseem around him, their batting finally looks dangerous. Naseem Shah’s 3 for 17 showed their bowling can defend a total too.

United Tigers, though, are the team to beat. They have won four of their five matches, sit two points clear at the top, and their net run rate of +2.560 is the best in the league by a distance. Fakhar Zaman captains the side, Omarzai is in the form of his life, and Abbas Afridi has been their finisher with both bat and ball. The Tigers’ only defeat came against Yas Lions on November 10, and they bounced straight back with Friday’s 24-run win over the Eagles. The Champions will need something special to stop them.

Our pick: United Tigers to win.

Match 17: Arabian Aces vs Emirates Eagles, 7:15 PM IST

The second match of the evening is a direct fight for third place. Arabian Aces sit third on six points, while Emirates Eagles are fifth on four, and the winner takes a big step towards the playoffs. The Aces are coming off their low-scoring win over the Bulls, a game they won purely because Andre Russell produced one of the great T10 all-round performances: 46 off 18 balls and 3 for 12. Around Russell, the Aces have Paul Walter, who has already hit two match-winning fifties in this tournament, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and Sam Billings, so their batting runs deep even on a bad day.

Emirates Eagles have lost three of their five matches and their batting has been a one-man show. Alex Hales made an unbeaten 67 in Friday’s defeat to the Tigers, and Shimron Hetmyer smashed 76 off 28 balls in their win over the Bulls earlier in the week, but the rest of the batting has not fired. Trent Boult leads their attack with Haider Razzaq, who took 4 for 20 against the Bulls. The Eagles need Hales and Hetmyer to fire together, and they need their bowling to contain Russell and Walter. On current form, the Aces look the more complete side.

Our pick: Arabian Aces to win.

Match 18: Yas Lions vs UAE Bulls, 9:30 PM IST

The night ends with the defending champions fighting for their tournament life. UAE Bulls have lost four matches in a row since winning the season opener against Yas Lions, and they sit bottom of the table on two points. Their last defeat, by 8 runs to Arabian Aces on Friday, summed up their season: Pollard hit 27 off 11 balls and Shadab Khan made 22 off 14, but the chase of 93 fell short because too many batters failed. Kieron Pollard captains the side, with Shadab Khan, Sunil Narine, Mohammad Amir and Romario Shepherd in the squad, so the quality is there, but the results are not.

Yas Lions have had a mixed week. They won three matches in a row to reach the top of the table, then lost to Royal Desert Champions by 39 runs on Friday, a defeat that dropped them to second. Jason Holder captains the side, Karim Janat smashed 33 off 11 balls in their win over the Tigers, and Tom Moores top-scored with an unbeaten 40 in Friday’s defeat. The Bulls beat the Lions in the reverse fixture on the opening night, chasing down 120 with seven wickets in hand, so the Lions will be out for revenge. For the Bulls, this is close to must-win: a fifth straight defeat would leave them on two points from six matches, needing to win all four of their remaining games just to reach ten points.

Our pick: Yas Lions to win.

Abu Dhabi T10 November 14: Players to Watch

• Azmatullah Omarzai (United Tigers): 33 off 9 balls and 1 for 23 on Friday, and 48 not out off 19 balls against the Bulls earlier in the week. The most destructive all-rounder in the tournament right now.
• Brandon King (Royal Desert Champions): His 66 off 28 balls against Yas Lions was the Champions’ first statement innings of the season, and he looks ready to take on the Tigers’ attack.
• Andre Russell (Arabian Aces): Won Match 15 almost single-handedly with 46 off 18 balls and 3 for 12. If he fires again, the Eagles are in trouble.
• Alex Hales (Emirates Eagles): Unbeaten on 67 in the defeat to the Tigers, and the Eagles’ most reliable batter. He needs support from Hetmyer and Mayers.
• Kieron Pollard (UAE Bulls): The Bulls’ captain hit 27 off 11 balls on Friday but could not finish the chase. His side needs a captain’s innings tonight.
