Who will win Maratha Arabians vs Qalandars (T10 League 2019)?
Maratha Arabians go head-to-head with Qalandars for a place in the Abu Dhabi T10 League final. The first qualifier takes place on November 23 and gets underway at 15:30 local time at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Maratha lost their first game but have won four since, with one other match a no result. They topped the group with Chris Lynn in outstanding batting form – the highest run-scorer in this year’s competition. He has been backed by the bowling of Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan – who were in outstanding form when the Arabians thrashed the Qalandars last time they met.
Qalandars bounced back from that heavy defeat, however. Tom Banton hit good form with the bat and George Garton has taken consistent wickets as they climbed to second in the league table on net run rate to earn their place in this final.
