At Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the Desert Vipers will play the Sharjah Warriors. This season, neither side has been able to defend a total, and their lone victory came when they were chasing a target in Dubai.
Moving forward in the league, both teams’ batting departments need to address their problems. The Vipers concluded with 154 for 8, batting first, in Abu Dhabi, following a victorious run-chase in Dubai. In contrast, the Warriors, who had successfully pursued a 171-run mark in Dubai, were bowled out for 74 runs in the very following match in Sharjah when attempting to chase 181.
Both sides have many powerful T20 players who are now having trouble establishing consistency and form. Although Sharjah is a relatively small field, players have scored large runs there in the past, but it also relies on the condition of the pitch that day.
Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriors Team Preview & Squads
Desert Vipers
In Abu Dhabi, the Desert Vipers batting order collapsed when they were asked to bat first against the Knight Riders. Colin Munro led the charge, scoring 150 runs off of 44 balls to lead his team to victory.
The three main hitters in this lineup—Azam Khan, Adam Hose, and Alex Hales—should be able to recover and contribute significantly to the team total. Wanindu Hasaranga is ranked number four, but he lacks the other players’ batting experience at that position.
Batters must be consistent; they are sorely lacking it. Sherfane Rutherford and Shadab Khan, who are both fairly skilled batsmen, are their lower-order options. Compared to Hasaranga, we believe Rutherford will be a better fit at number 4.
Although the team has some excellent bowlers, their contributions may not be significant given the low total on the scoreboard. The bowler to keep an eye out for in this lineup is Wanindu Hasaranga.

Sharjah Warriors
This will be Sharjah Warriors’ third game at this location. The Warriors will be under pressure heading into this game after dropping their previous two meetings in this venue. The Warriors chased an 181-run target but were bowled out for 74 runs in their most recent game, which was played at this location against MI Emirates.
A batting order that includes Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Johnson Charles, and Martin Guptill in the top three is expected to produce big things. Joe Denly and Niroshan Dickwella are seasoned players in the middle order. All-rounders like Lewis Gregory and Daniel Sams give strength to the batting lineup in the bottom middle order.
Only Johnson Charles of the top 4 contributed significantly to their victorious run-chase against the Capitals in Dubai. In the Warriors’ first game, they showed indications of batting trouble as well, losing by 31 runs when their middle order broke down.
This team has a wealth of trustworthy and accomplished bowlers. The two people to keep an eye out for are Chris Woakes and Dilshan Madhushanka. Madhushanka found it difficult to establish a rhythm, although Maheesh Theekshana was one of the wicket-takers.

Match Details
Match
Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriors, Match 13 | ILT20, 2024
This venue has already produced two wins for teams batting first. The borders are smaller than in other locations, but it still looks a little difficult to track down a target here. They would also prefer to set an objective rather than pursue one given the teams’ present performances.
On the day of the match, Sharjah will see partly overcast skies with a high of 26 degrees Celsius.
In T20 cricket, the first innings score is often 156 runs, although we believe a winning total of more than 190 runs is appropriate.
