Preview:
The two teams who will lock horns for today’s second Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 match have had poor starts to their campaign. Both Northern Warriors and Team Abu Dhabi started off with a defeat. Northern Warriors managed to turn things around quickly and register two wins on the trot.
Team Abu Dhabi, on the contrary, lost their second game as well. However, their morale wouldn’t be too down coming into this game, as they got the better of Pune Devils in their last game. That being said, it will still require an effort and a half to beat in-form Warriors.
