T10 League 2019: Day 10, Play-off and Final, Match Prediction – Weather Report, Pitch Conditions, Playing XIs and Live Streaming Details

After nine riveting days in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, it’s time for one last day in the tournament. In the first match, the Bangla Tigers and Qalandars are scheduled to lock horns at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The Qalandars picked up in momentum in the last few games of the Super League, finishing second. But couldn’t carry it in the playoffs, losing to Maratha Arabians and the Deccan Gladiators.

In order to finish third in the T10 league, Dawid Malan and Co will lock horns with Bangla Tigers, who went down to the Gladiators by five wickets in the Eliminator. The Arabians, the other finalist, were clinical in the Super League, ending on top of the ladder. Dwayne Bravo and Co had bit of a scare in the Qualifier versus the Qalandars, but won by seven runs. The win gave them an entry in the final.
