When the MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriors square off in the International League T20 in 2024, it will be a titanic match. Despite losing their most recent match versus Desert Vipers, MI Emirates leads the points table. The team will be confident because they had defeated the Sharjah Warriors in three of their previous meetings.
After defeating the Dubai Capitals in their previous game, the Sharjah Warriors will try to maintain their momentum. It would be intriguing to watch if the Warriors can defeat MI Emirates and snap their losing streak to take the lead in the standings.
MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriors Team Preview & Squads
MI Emirates
The team led by Nicholas Pooran lost the most recent game to the Desert Vipers. For the club that has dominated the season and is atop the points table, it was an unusual loss. Pooran wants his squad to bounce back from the setback and guarantee a trip to the next round.
Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem have been playing well, and they hope to get off to a strong start. One of the team’s main players, Pooran, will try to increase the middle-order totals of Andre Fletcher and Ambati Rayudu. Tim David, Dwayne Bravo, and Akeal Hosein are expected to score runs for the team, which has depth in the batting lineup.
With the new ball, the team will look to Trent Boult and Fazalhaq Farooqi for wickets after Boult’s subpar performance in the last game. After a strong performance in the last game, Muhammad Rohid Khan will try to slow down Waqar Salamkheil’s scoring pace. This assault gains strength from Hosein and Bravo.

Sharjah Warriors
Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s team won the most recent game handily. They improved their standing on the points table by crushing Dubai Capitals by nine wickets. They will have a tough opponent in MI Emirates, the table toppers. After losing the last game against them, Kohler-Cadmore is hoping his men can put on a solid performance.
Although Niroshan Dickwella and Johnson Charles batted well in the last game, the team would prefer to see a solid start. At No. 3, Tom Kohler-Cadmore must lead the innings and will try to form alliances with Basil Hameed and Lewis Gregory. Both Chris Woakes and Daniel Sams are capable players who will try to contribute in the lower middle order.
In order to win, the bowling attack will need to overcome a significant obstacle in the form of early wickets from Chris Woakes and Mark Watt. The team will require strong spells from Daniel Sams and Muhammad Jawadullah, and they must monitor the middle overs scoring pace. In the supporting roles, Maheesh Theekshana and Qais Ahmed are expected to perform admirably.

The team pursuing the score has won the last three games. The fielders had loved chasing on the nice batting surface. The two skippers at the toss would therefore be certain that they would bowl first. Over Abu Dhabi, the sky would be clear.
The ball is coming onto the bat nicely, making it simpler to bat on the pitch. The side that bats first will need to aim for a goal total of 180 runs to succeed here, as bowlers are finding it difficult.
