T10 League 2019: Day 7, Super League, Match Prediction – Weather Report, Pitch Conditions, Playing XIs and Live Streaming Details

The penultimate day of the Super League in the 2019 T10 League is set to take place. Thursday, November 21 will be a witness to three encounters at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The first game will be played between cellar dwellers Delhi Bulls and Maratha Arabians. The Bulls started with win, but ever since their campaign has gone downhill. The Arabians had a contrasting start.

Another victory for them will take them atop the points table. In the second game, the Qalandars and Karnataka Tuskers have locked horns. Both teams have had their travails and need a victory to qualify for the next round. The third match will see defending champions Northern Warriors and Deccan Gladiators lock horns. The Gladiators are the toppers, but the Warriors aren’t pushovers.

Pitch Report

The pitches started being tough ones for the batsmen and being favourable for the teams, batting second. But as the tournament has gone by, the early trends changed. A win isn’t assured on batting second. Scores over 115 have more often been piled on, but the bowlers have also had their say.

Weather Report

The clouds will be there throughout the day. However, the good news is that there isn’t any chance of rain. The sun won’t be out at any stage and the temperature will hover around the 23 degrees Celsius mark. The humidity will mostly be in the 40s and 50s during the three encounters.

Delhi Bulls vs Maratha Arabians, Match 19

Delhi Bulls

The Bulls have depended heavily on skipper Eoin Morgan, who as 156 runs at 195, in batting. Kusal Perera and Angelo Mathews have been reasonable, but need to contribute more. Sherfane Rutherford is yet to come into his own. Ravi Rampaul and Mohammad Nabi have economy below 10 and the rest have to support the duo. The former is also their leading wicket-taker with five scalps.

Probable XI

Hazratullah Zazai, Chris Lynn (C), Adam Lyth, Najibullah Zadran, Dasun Shanaka, Chadwick Walton (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mitchell McClenaghan, Shiraz Ahmed, Lasith Malinga
