Who will win Karnataka Tuskers vs Maratha Arabians, T10 League 2019?
Resurgent Maratha Arabians will look to start the second phase of the 2019 T10 League as they finished the first – in winning form. They start the ‘Super League’ phase by taking on Karnataka Tuskers at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on November 20, with the live action scheduled to start at 15:30 local time.
The weather could frustrate them, with rain on the forecast all day, but Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan have been in form with the ball in the last two matches as Maratha Arabians finished the first group stage in excellent form.
Karnataka Tuskers’ form is the opposite way around – they won their first game but their bowlers could not defend scores of 114 and 110 in their final two games. They were bottom of their group as a result.
