Preview:
Gladiators will face Fighter in the fifth match of the Baroda T20 Challenge on Saturday. Gladiators wrapped a comprehensive win over Stallions in their first game by 7 wickets. Bowlers did a great job in restricting the opposition for just 131 runs and later calculative batting performances from Kinit Patel, Shlok Desai, and Rachesh Tandel won the game for them.
Fighter, on the other hand, made an awful start as they lost to Warriors by 19 runs in the tournament opener. Chasing 129 runs they managed to score only 110 runs on the board. The batters need to take responsibility and build the innings in the coming matches.
