Royal Champs( ROC ) is set to face Aspin Stallions( AS ) in their 22nd match during the Abu Dhabi T10 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday, November 26.
Royal Champs have had a rough start in the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 League. Four matches, four defeats — and now they desperately need a couple of good results to stay alive in the tournament. Despite the losses, their batting line-up is packed with explosive players who can flip a game in just a few overs.
Jason Roy remains central to their plans at the top. His 96 runs from four matches at a strike rate of 163 underline how dangerous he can be in the powerplay.
In the middle order, USA’s Aaron Jones brings stability and controlled aggression, able to hold the innings together while still finding boundaries when needed. Brandon McMullen has been their standout performer so far, scoring 115 runs in four innings at a superb strike rate of 174.24.
Niroshan Dickwella and Shakib Al Hasan add experience and calmness, giving the team balance in both batting and game management.
With the ball, Rishi Dhawan and Haider Razzaq have led the way, sharing eight wickets and providing the early pressure through tight lines and pace. Chris Jordan and Daniel Sams have chipped in with two wickets each, while Liam Dawson’s left-arm spin remains a valuable option, especially on slower surfaces.
Aspin Stallions haven’t had it easy either — three losses and only two wins from their first five games. Their bowling unit has shown signs of strength, but the batting needs more consistency if they want to rise in the standings.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been their standout at the top, smashing 124 runs in five games at a blistering strike rate of 214. Andre Fletcher and Avishka Fernando have also made useful contributions, both crossing 70 runs and capable of adding quick 20–30 run bursts at strike rates above 180 when they settle in.
In the lower order, Sam Billings and Ben Cutting bring the finishing power, both proven hitters who can clear the ropes with ease.
Bowling-wise, Zohair Iqbal has carried much of the load, picking up nine wickets despite going at an economy of 12. Binura Fernando, Hafeez ur Rehman, and Tymal Mills round out a solid attack, each capable of taking timely wickets and shifting the momentum.

RC vs AS Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is generally batting-friendly, offering true bounce with minimal seam movement early on. Pacers can use the new ball to extract bounce, while spinners become more effective in the middle overs as the pitch slows slightly. In T20 matches, dew under lights can make chasing easier, giving an advantage to the team batting second, whereas in longer formats, teams often prefer batting first to post a solid total. Overall, the surface provides a balanced contest, rewarding batters who can build partnerships while requiring bowlers to use variations and accuracy to make an impact.
RC vs AS Weather Report:
By 8:00 PM local time on November 26, the weather at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi is expected to be pleasant and mostly clear, with temperatures cooling to around 26 °C (79 °F).

Expected Scores:
1st Innings: 105–115 runs
2nd Innings: 100–110 runs
Key Point:
Evening conditions favor bowlers slightly: With the match starting at 8:00 PM, the pitch may slow just a bit compared to the afternoon, helping spinners and medium pacers exert control in the middle overs.
Moderate first-innings totals: Sheikh Zayed Stadium generally produces totals in the 110–120 range, but cooler evening conditions often slightly reduce scoring, making 105–115 a realistic expectation for the team batting first.
Tight chases expected: Teams chasing under lights may face slower ball grip and dew, meaning a score above 110 could be challenging. Maintaining wickets and pacing the innings will be critical for the second team.
Match-up dynamics: Royal Champs’ aggressive top-order could push the total toward 115, while Aspin Stallions’ counter-attacking style keeps them competitive in a chase, especially if they start well in the powerplay.Royal Champs vs Aspin Stallions Full Squad:
