Match Details:
The 19th match of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 season will be played between Bangla Tigers and Qalandars at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
This match will start at 05:30 PM IST (04:00 PM local time). It will be live on Sony Sports Network and live streaming is available on Sony LIV.
Preview:
The Qalandars are looking absolutely unstoppable in the ongoing edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League. Not only have they won all of their four matches, they also have been totally ruthless in those games. If fans were asked to pick their favourites for the title at this moment, Qalandars will be the unanimous answer.
Bangla Tigers will be entrusted with the massive task of derailing Qalandars’ juggernaut. The Tigers themselves have been pretty inconsistent, winning two and losing two games. However, what makes this game interesting is that they are coming into this game on the back of a win and that should have done their confidence a world of good.
