MA vs NW Dream11 prediction: Match preview

An exciting encounter awaits fans as the postponed Abu Dhabi T10 League finally gets underway on Thursday, January 28. The first match of the tournament will see the Group 'A' teams, the Maratha Arabians and the Northern Warriors take each other on to begin their campaigns. The Maratha Arabians will be the defending champions this time around, having won the tournament in 2019, while the Northern Warriors won in 2018 and will be looking for a second title. They have been grouped alongside the  Bangla Tigers and the Delhi Bulls.

The Maratha Arabians will be missing their best player, Chris Lynn, who is currently the best player of the tournament as well. Lynn's 91* off just 31 balls is still a tournament record and the Arabians will miss his power-hitting skills in their top order. However, they have the likes of Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik and Laurie Evans in their side this time. The Warriors meanwhile, will have a good mix of young and experienced players: Nicholas Pooran, Lendl Simmons, Rovman Powell, Wahab Riaz, Wayne Parnell and Rayad Emrit.
