PG vs DR Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Dec 10, 2019

The Pearl Gladiators have got off to a poor start in the Qatar T10 League after losing their first match. They are now going to play against the Desert Riders who have won their first match and would have played another against the Flying Oryx by the time this match gets underway.

The Qatar T10 league is a very short tournament where the matches come fast at you and so a team can be knocked out of the running the matter of a few bad days. There is no time for respite for either of the teams.

Pearl Gladiators vs Desert Riders Qatar T10 League is going to be played at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Doha on the 10th of December 2019

PG vs DR Team Previews

Pearl Gladiators

An extremely poor batting performance by the Pear Gladiators was the reason behind their loss in the first match. A total of 83 is quite inadequate in T10 cricket where 100 seems to the par that teams batting first are looking for.

None of the international players seem to have been available for the first match and a lot will depend on whether they are available for this match or not. The Gladiators do have Sharjeel Khan, Mohammad Sami, Ajantha Mendis, and Mohammad Irfan in the squad apart from Afsar Zazai and Karim Sadiq from Afghanistan.

If all the players were to be available then the Pearl Gladiators seem like a decent side that can win some matches in this tournament but the other lesser heralded players in their squad do not seem to be very good.

Take a close look at the playing eleven and only consider betting on them if the international players have been included.

Desert Riders

Mohammad Hafeez and Sohail Tanvir are headlining the Desert Riders side which would be playing its third match in three days. The T10 format is not very taxing on the players and so we don’t think they are going to have any problem with fatigue or lack of preparation.

We like the side that the Desert Riders have put together. Its local players performed in the previous match, led by Muhammad Tanveer and the bowling performed pretty well also.

In Sohail Tanvir and Mohammad Irfan, they have two Pakistani international players that are going to be hard to stop once they get into the groove of things. They are also both very capable all-rounders at this level of the game. This means that two of the bowlers are sorted ad there are two quality hard-hitting batsmen in the side with plenty of international experience as well.

If the other international players become available in this match and can combine with the locals already making their mark, then the Desert Riders are going to a very strong team throughout the Qatar T10 League.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather conditions have been very good for cricket although the same cannot be said for the pitch. It has been a bit too slow for our liking and not allowed the batsmen to hit freely. Perhaps some improvement in the scoring rate can be expected once the batsmen get used to the pace of the wicket.

PG vs DR Betting Tips

We think the Desert Riders have put together a better squad than the Pearl Gladiators. Player availability remains an issue so not too much of information is shared ahead of time. In most cases, though, we think that the Desert Riders will be able to emerge victoriously in this contest.

Bet on the Desert Riders to win.
