Darren Sammy will be seen leading the Northern Warriors, who had a blast last season and were the ultimate champions of the 2018 season. While Maratha Arabians made it to the 3rd Place Play-off but were defeated. Dwayne Bravo will be leading the Arabians for current season. With the likes of some strong players, both the teams will be looking forward to scoring down a point in the first game itself.
