The final game of the Super League stage in the T10 League will be played between Sindhis and Maratha Arabians. There is still uncertainty about the top four teams and hence this game is not entirely a dead rubber. More than the Sindhis, the Maratha Arabians will require a big win under their belt to progress forward.

In this round, the Arabians won one out of the two games they played. Overall, they were triumphant in two games out of five thus far and stand at the sixth place on the points table. Irrespective of the results of the other matches, a victory here can help the team advance to the playoffs. On the other hand, Sindhis won only a single game thus far and will hope to be the party spoilers with literally no pressure on them.

Pitch and Conditions

All the games that were played yesterday were high-scoring affairs. The pitches are moulded that way to help the batsmen and provide maximum entertainment to the audience. However, hitting good areas with some variations works in favour of the bowlers. The weather prediction is all good for the match and there wouldn’t be any interruptions.

Team Combinations

Sindhis

The Sindhis have got a great unit. However, the players haven’t been able to come together to deliver as a single force. Just one or two players contributing hasn’t done much good to them and also there were extremely unlucky at times. There can’t be a lot of blame put on them, however, as that is how the format goes and it is highly unpredictable. The team might bring in Pravin Tambe and Isuru Udana for this match.

Predicted XI: Shane Watson (C), Anton Devcich, Thisara Perera, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Samiullah Shenwari, Ben Cutting, Mohammad Nawaz, Fawad Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Pravin Tambe, Isuru Udana.

Maratha Arabians

The Maratha Arabians would have been heart-broken after the loss to Pakhtoons in the previous encounter. However, they will want to brush away the bruises of the past and focus on the present. A win here is extremely crucial for them and they will expect their bowlers to put a slightly better show. Except for Rashid Khan and DJ Bravo, the others have leaked a lot of runs. They are expected to go with an unchanged XI for this match.

Predicted XI: Hazratullah Zazai, Alex Hales, Najibullah Zadran, Kamran Akmal, Brendan Taylor (wk), DJ Bravo (c), Rashid Khan, James Faulkne, Roeloflef van der Merwe, Zahoor Khan, Richard Gleeson.
