Preview:
Maratha Arabians and Team Abu Dhabi will be locking horns for the 20th match of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021. Both the teams are currently in a do-or-die situation, as both of them have registered only one win out of the four games they have played. Maratha Arabians are scoring big, but their inexperienced bowling lineup is letting them down. It is high time that they get the best out of their bowlers, if they were to win the rest of the matches and get through to the knockout stage.
On the other hand, Team Abu Dhabi are still waiting for the Universe Boss to fire. It is their batting unit which has not performer as per expectations. However, they will be up against a comparatively weaker bowling unit this time around and will have a great chance to get their second win of the tournament.
