Abu Dhabi T10 2026 Playoff Race: United Tigers Lead After 10 Matches, Every Team's Remaining Games in PKT

We worked out this table from the official match results feed on the Abu Dhabi T10 website on 11 November 2026, after Emirates Eagles beat UAE Bulls on 10 November. The league's own points table had not yet added that match when we checked, so its Eagles and Bulls rows were one game behind. Below are the table, each team's remaining matches in Pakistan time and what each side needs.

United Tigers top the table after 10 matches

Fakhar Zaman's United Tigers have 3 wins from 4 games and a net run rate of +2.566, far ahead of anyone else. Three teams sit on 4 points, separated only by net run rate, and Yas Lions and Arabian Aces have a game in hand on the Eagles.

Net run rate is runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over. We calculated it from the official scores, counting the full 10 overs for a side that was bowled out, which is the standard rule. The United Tigers, Yas Lions, Arabian Aces and Royal Desert Champions figures match the league's own table exactly. The league's feed gives 2 points for a win, and no match has yet been washed out.

Only the top three of six reach the play-offs

After 30 league games, first place goes straight to the final on 20 November. Second and third play a qualifier the same evening, at 6:30 pm PKT, and the winner meets the leaders in the final at 8:45 pm PKT. Fourth, fifth and sixth go home.

That makes the race for first place almost as important as reaching the top three. The leaders skip a knockout game, while second and third must win twice on the same night. Our Abu Dhabi T10 2026 format guide explains the play-off path and the time conflict in the league's two official schedules.

Each team plays every other team twice, which is ten games each. With 2 points a win, the most any team can now finish on is:

• United Tigers, Yas Lions and Arabian Aces: 18 points.
• Emirates Eagles and UAE Bulls: 16 points.
• Royal Desert Champions: 14 points.

Every team's remaining matches in Pakistan time

Twenty league games remain from 11 to 19 November, all at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan time is one hour ahead of the UAE, so the three daily slots are 4:30 pm, 6:45 pm and 9:00 pm PKT. Thursday 12 November is a rest day.

The last league game, Emirates Eagles against United Tigers at 9:00 pm PKT on 19 November, could decide first place. Results so far are in our reports for 10 November and 9 November.

What each team needs from its last games

There is no fixed points cut-off for the top three; it depends on how the wins are shared. Here is where each side stands, in plain terms, with its Pakistani players from the official squad pages.

1. United Tigers (6 points, 6 left): four more wins would take them to 14. To pass that, Yas Lions or Arabian Aces would need six wins from seven, and the Eagles all six. Fakhar Zaman captains, with Iftikhar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Sufyan Moqim, Abbas Afridi and Yasin Patel.
2. Yas Lions (4 points, 7 left): they beat the Tigers on 10 November and have a game in hand. They have no Pakistani player in the squad.
3. Arabian Aces (4 points, 7 left): two straight wins, including a 10 wicket win over the Eagles, but their net run rate is only just positive. Salman Irshad is their Pakistani player.
4. Emirates Eagles (4 points, 6 left): they have played one game more than the Lions and Aces, so they need wins and a better run rate. Akif Javed, Hassan Nawaz and Ali Raza are in the squad.
5. UAE Bulls (2 points, 7 left): the defending champions need most of their seven games. Their seven Pakistanis include Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir and Azam Khan.
6. Royal Desert Champions (0 points, 7 left): even seven wins would give only 14 points. Naseem Shah and the side play UAE Bulls tonight, a game neither can afford to lose.

The full list of 18 Pakistanis is in our Abu Dhabi T10 2026 Pakistani players list.

Three Pakistanis also have a Shaheens date on 20 November

Sufyan Moqim, Hasan Nawaz (spelled Hassan Nawaz on the T10 site) and Akif Javed are in both a T10 squad and the Pakistan Shaheens squad for the Asia Cup Rising Stars in Qatar. The Shaheens play their first match there on 20 November, the same day as the T10 play-offs in Abu Dhabi.

Neither the league nor the PCB has said when these players will leave their T10 sides. We list them here only because the dates overlap. The Shaheens squad and fixtures are in our Pakistan Shaheens squad for the Asia Cup Rising Stars.
