QAL vs TEA Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021, 3rd Place Play-Off

Match Details:

The 3rd Place Play-off of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 season will be played between Qalandars and Team Abu Dhabi on 6th February, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

This match will start at 06:45 PM IST (05:15 PM local time). It will be live on Sony Sports Network and live streaming is available on Sony LIV.

Preview: 

Things were going brilliantly for Qalandars, until they met Delhi Bulls in their last group stage game. A defeat in that game placed them in the eliminator, where they lost once again, against Team Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi hardly got any chance to celebrate, as they were defeated in their very next game by Northern Warriors.

This has brought us to the third-place qualifier between Qalandars and Team Abu Dhabi. Not that the stakes are as high as it will be in the last game, but both teams will try to finish their season on a high nonetheless. From a neutral’s perspective, this should be an interesting watch.
