2018 T10 League was the second season of the T10 League.[1] The matches had a 10-over-a-side format with a time duration of 90 minutes. The tournament was played as a round robin followed by semifinals and the final. It was played from 21 November to 2 December 2018 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Three new teams, Sindhis, Rajputs and Northern Warriors, joined the tournament with the exclusion of Team Sri Lanka from last season.[1]
Before the start of the tournament, Karachians changed their name to Sindhis after a Pakistan court order had objected to their title, citing a clash of identity with the Pakistan Super League team Karachi Kings.[2]
