Pre-Match Analysis:
Sharjah Warriors have hit rock bottom following two back-to-back losses over MI Emirates and Gulf Giants by 8 wickets and 79 runs. The batters have to take responsibility for the losses where they could only manage 129 and 108. They easily gave up in the run-chase against Gulf Giants losing all their 10 wickets inside 18 overs and for the 3rd time in the competition, they lost all their 10 wickets. Warriors are seeking more consistency from the top order as their middle order lacks stability. Bowlers have justified their roles quite well with Daniel Sams and Maheesh Theekshana bagging 11 wickets piece, the new recruit Sean Williams joined the party bagging a 3-fer against Gulf Giants.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are on top of their game and collected a full 4 points from their last 2 matches, beating the Gulf Giants and Dubai Capitals with utmost authority. One or the other player is getting into the act with match-winning performances and it’s a good sign of a champion team. Michael Pepper is rocking the show at the top and they have the likes of Andre Russell who can quickly shift the gears at the middle and death overs. Skipper Sunil Narine has the luxury of all-rounders whom he can turn up to anyone to change things be it with the bat or ball. Andre Russell is their best performer with 192 runs and 6 wickets to his name while Michael Pepper, Alishan Sharafu, and Sam Hain have done well with the bat, scoring more than 150 runs each. They currently hold 2nd place in the standings with 8 points.
