For Tigers, David Wiese was the star with the ball as he picked up 3 wickets by conceding 14 runs in his two overs. Qais Ahmad also bowled economically, taking 1 for 13 in his quota of overs.

In the 18th game of T10 League 2019, Deccan Gladiators locked horns with Team Abu Dhabi at the same venue.

Sent into bat, Abu Dhabi piled up a mammoth 118/1 in 10 overs, courtesy Wayne Madsen’s 14-ball 29, Luke Wright’s 16-ball 23 and Lewis Gregory’s 10-ball 20*.

In the chase, Gladiators were 25/1 in 2.2 over when rain interrupted play. Although the rain stopped, the match couldn’t resume. Since the organizers couldn't provide the teams with the DLS sheets, the match had to be called off.
