Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Team Preview & Squads

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Since he scored 95 runs in the last meeting between the two clubs, the batter will be feeling confident going into the game. With a 67-run knock in the most recent game against the Dubai Capitals, Laurie Evans demonstrated his value to the club. Evans can quickly turn a game around and is a destructive batter.

Up until now in the ILT20 2024, Sunil Narine has performed admirably. In addition to taking wickets, Sunil has also been incredibly economical. Thus far, he has claimed four wickets at an economy rate of just six.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers outfield report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Since dew will make batting exceedingly simple in the second innings and chasing teams will win a lot more games, the captains would want to chase first. There will be bright skies and a temperature range of 27 to 19 degrees. Throughout the day, the humidity will be 59%.

It’ll be a good batting pitch. The bowlers will not get much assistance from the surface, and the dew will make things more difficult for them, particularly in the second innings.
