Deccan Gladiators

Nicholas Pooran is a natural leader in limited-overs cricket, known for his calm temperament and destructive finishing. His tactical reading of the short format makes him one of the most valuable assets in T10 cricket. 

DG possess one of the most explosive batting units in the tournament, with Marcus Stoinis, Andre Russell, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, and Mark Chapman giving them power from top to bottom. Their lineup can score 150+ on any wicket if they bat first. 

Their bowling unit features raw pace, cutters, spin control, and death-over expertise. Lahiru Kumara, Richard Gleeson, Akeal Hosein, and Jake Ball form a lineup that can dismantle batting orders in just two overs. 

DG posted an excellent 141/2, showcasing controlled aggression and batting depth. In reply, UAE Bulls reached 135/5 but struggled to keep up with the asking rate.

Royal Champs

Shakib Al Hasan brings immense leadership experience and all-around intelligence to ROC. His ability to read conditions and adjust bowling changes makes him a tactical master. Under his command, the team focuses on controlled aggression and collective efficiency.

ROC have a solid batting lineup headlined by Jason Roy, Niroshan Dickwella, Angelo Mathews, and Brandon McMullen. They can accelerate rapidly if their top-order provides a launchpad. Their middle-order flexibility allows them to adapt between chasing pace and building innings.

The Champs possess a rounded bowling unit with variation and skill. Chris Jordan, Daniel Sams, Liam Dawson, Isuru Udana, and Rishi Dhawan give them options for swing, cutters, spin, and death overs. If they strike early, they are capable of squeezing even the strongest batting sides.

In their upcoming T10 match, the Royal Champs face a stern challenge against the powerhouse Deccan Gladiators, who remain slight favorites due to their championship track record. Jason Roy will need to ignite the start for the Champs, while the all-round impact of Andre Russell could dictate the flow for Deccan.
