They had assembled their squads with home conditions in mind ( like CPL Trinidad KR)
and with the aim of getting as many points as possible from their seven home games.

Here we are now, ready to play the IPL in a whole new country, with a whole new set of conditions.

The concept of home games, where you play seven games at a familiar venue
and any of your opponents only one there, ceases to exist ~ :whistle:

we don't know what the strain of hosting 24 matches in about 40 days will do to the Dubai pitch

towards the end of the tournament.

If that in itself doesn't point to a lower-scoring tournament ~ (sounds familiar ??)

In India over the last three IPLs, a six has been hit every 17 balls at the home venues of dre Rus, Hardik and Rohit .
At Abu Dhabi, a six has been hit every 49 balls over the same period.

3.6
Mohammed Shami to Hetmyer, OUT taken at short extra cover! the shot selection is just not showing up today.
Short of a length and across, once again. Too far away from him for him to be attempting a flick
Does it anyway, closes the face too early. It pings right off the edge and is taken by Agarwal

SO Hetmyer c Agarwal b Mohammed Shami 7 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 53.84

5.5
Ashwin to Pooran, OUT through him! Looks like the Ashwin floater, that comes in with the angle. Classic offspin bowling. Softened him up with two danglers outside, put the doubt with a similar length and line outside off,
only this time it comes back in and cleans him up.

N Pooran b Ashwin DUCK (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

How can a guy make 100 on his home ground in Trinidad CPL bubble
then come and give 2 DUCKS in the same game in Abu Dhabi ???????????

Idiots are telling me Trinidad players did NOT have an advantage on Trinidad 22 yards batting strip CPL Bobolee !

Rabada to Pooran, OUT bowled him! All over. Rabada, the Super Over expert. Delhi Capitals need three to win.

Full and at off stump. Front leg in the leg side, looks to slog it into the leg side, head all out of position

and KXIP won't even finish their over

N Pooran b Rabada DUCK

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 10:28)(10:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 15:52)(15:52)0
