Desert Vipers vs MI Emirates Team Preview & Squads

Desert Vipers

The side of Colin Munro is seriously troubled. They have fallen to the bottom of the points table after losing their most recent match by a score of seven runs against the Sharjah Warriors. To have a chance in the next round, they need to win this game. To make the camp feel better, Munro needs to take the lead.  

Given their extensive expertise, Colin Munro and Alex Hales will need to get off to a strong start for the team. Given that Wanindu Hasaranga and Rohan Mustafa’s inconsistent play has hampered the team, Adam Hose has to provide runs while anchoring the middle order of the innings. Sherfane Rutherford, Shadab Khan, and Azam Khan bolster this roster with weaponry.  

Luke Wood and Shaheen Afridi need to use their combined experience to take early wickets with the new ball. Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana have to perform well in the middle overs because MI Emirates has strong hitters. Mustafa and Shadab Khan give the attack more diversity.

MI Emirates

The team led by Nicholas Pooran is playing quite well. They earned significant victories by defeating the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by eight wickets in the most recent match. The batting order has performed admirably, and Pooran wants his team to carry that form into this game and win.  

The team is hoping for an exciting start to the game thanks to the form of Muhammad Waseem and Kusal Perera. Having played well at No. 3, Nicholas Pooran will try to score more runs when Tim David and Andre Fletcher bat in the middle order. This batting order is strengthened by Ambati Rayudu, Dwayne Bravo, and Akeal Hosein.  

Due to the Vipers’ poor batting performance, the team will look to Trent Boult and Akeal Hosein, who are both in excellent form, for early wickets. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Waqar Salamkheil will try to monitor the middle overs’ scoring pace. The offense gains depth thanks to Muhammad Waseem and Bravo.
