Maratha Arabians prove T10 is a bowlers’ format too

Rajputs restricted to the lowest score and crash to quickest defeat

All those who said T10 is a batsmen’s game are being proved wrong. Before the start of the event, many experts of the game and even top cricketers had claimed that T10 is a format where bowlers are paid to be hit. On the seventh day of the T10 League at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Maratha Arabians restricted the mighty Rajputs to a paltry 63-7 in their 10 overs, the lowest score in the history of the T10 league, wiping away Kerala Knights low score of 71 against Punjabi Legends, which was recorded less than 24 hours earlier.
