The seventh edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League is set to commence on November 28 (Tuesday). A total of 32 matches will be played in the competition with as many as six teams taking part for the ultimate glory. The final of the tournament is scheduled to take place on December 9 with all matches set to take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
A total of eight teams - Bangla Tigers, The Chennai Braves, Deccan Gladiators, Delhi Bulls, New York Strikers, Northern Warriors, Morrisville Samp Army and Team Abu Dhabi - are participating in the Abu Dhabi T10 league. All teams will definitely face the availability issue of players with a lot of cricket in progress at the moment. Legends League Cricket is currently being played which has former cricketers taking part while some of the players like Shakib Al Hasan and others are injured. Moreover, the T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier is currently in progress and that has led to players like Sikandar Raza not being available for quite a few matches.
As far as the format of the league is concerned, all teams will play seven matches in the league stage with the top four teams in the points table making it to the playoffs. This is the seventh edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League with Northern Warriors and Deccan Gladiators winning the tournament twice each while Kerala Kings (discontinued now) and Maratha Arabians (discontinued now) won the other two seasons of the competition.
