Preview:

The final league game of the Qatar T10 League 2019 pits Heat Stormers up against the Pearl Gladiators. With only one point against their names, both sides rely on Flying Oryx losing their match against Swift Gallopers to stay alive in the competition. They haven’t won a game so far in the league.

Heat Stormers were unlucky to end up on the losing end with Desert Riders running riot with the bat.

A close contest is on the cards with both sides capable of coming up with the goods on Saturday.
