DLB vs NRW Game Plan Team Prediction Tips for Abu Dhabi Qualifier 1 Match DLB vs NRW

DLB vs NRW Game Plan Prediction: The ongoing T10 League in Abu Dhabi has reached its business end with the first qualifier of the tournament to be played today at Sheikh Zayed Stadium between Delhi Bulls and Northern Warriors. With a total of 6 matches played, both the teams have managed 5 wins each. Delhi Bulls is at the top of the points table due to a better net run-rate while Northern Warriors is sitting at the second position.

Northern Warrior started their campaign with 5 wickets loss against Maratha Arabians and has managed 5 wins in a row since then. In-form L Simmons and N Pooran would be looking to carry forward the winning spree. However, it won’t be that easy against Delhi Bulls who are flushed with confidence and consistent performances from E Lewis, M Nabi, and R Bopara.

Previous meeting: Northern Warriors (137/3) secured 32 runs win over Delhi Bulls (105/7) when both the teams met previously. Nicholas Pooran was picked as man of the match for his quick 54 off just 21 balls.
