Emirates Eagles vs UAE Bulls Abu Dhabi T10 Predictions - Eagles to break two-match losing slump
Emirates Eagles are tipped to win against UAE Bulls in their first head-to-head, based on squad depth and recent individual performances from players like Kyle Mayers and Shimron Hetmyer. Khawaja Nafay is expected to score over 24.5 runs, having been in excellent form for the Bulls, while Sunil Narine is a strong candidate to take over 1.5 wickets. Both sides are unlikely to make changes to their line-ups, and the pitch is expected to favour spinners. The overall recommendation is for an Eagles win, with Nafay and Narine highlighted for individual markets.

Head-to-Head
This will be the first meeting between the two teams.
Emirates Eagles Form
The Eagles slipped to a second defeat on the bounce when they went down to the Arabian Aces by 10 wickets with 19 balls in the bank.
Kyle Mayers slapped four sixes and four fours in top-scoring with 56 off 29 balls but had little support from the Eagles' top order. Kusal Perera gave the Eagles a fighting chance by smashing 18 runs off five balls but a score of 108/5 gave their bowlers little to work with.
The Eagles bowlers all took a pounding as the Aces raced to the win without losing a wicket. Trent Boult was their most economical bowler, with his two overs going for 25 runs (econ 12.50). Boult had taken six wickets in his previous four innings.
UAE Bulls Form
After winning their opening match of the tournament the defending champions went down to the United Tigers by 25 runs.
Sunil Narine (2/15, econ 7.50) and Mohammad Wasim (2/27) were the best of the Bulls’ bowlers as they kept the Tigers total down to a chaseable score.
The Bulls openers struggled to get going against some tight Tigers bowling. Only Khawaja Nafay (48* off 25 balls, 1x4, 4x6) passed 20 as they battled their way to 101/4 off their 10 overs.
Team News
With the quick turnaround of matches and the short format neither side is likely to make changes for this match. The heavy use of the pitch for all matches will continue to offer little to the pacemen while the spinners will enjoy greater assistance as the tournament progresses.
Emirates Eagles (possible XI): Alex Hales, Kusal Perera, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell (c), Kyle Mayers, Srikar Bharat, Chris Green, Trent Boult, Hardus Viljoen, Tymal Mills, Haider Razzaq.
UAE Bulls (possible XI): Kieron Pollard (c), Andre Fletcher, Khawaja Nafay, Tahir Zaman, Aneurin Donald, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rohid Khan, Sunil Narine, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jnr., and Romario Shepherd.
Verdict
The Eagles are back to beat the Bulls, with Khawaja Nafay looking good to be among the runs for a fourth time in five knocks. Sunil Narine has been among the wickets and is a good pick to pick up sticks in this clash.
