The 22nd game of ILT20 season 2 will pit the Gulf Giants against the Sharjah Warriors. On February 4, the game will take place at the Dubai International Stadium and will kick off at 8:00 PM IST.
Gulf Giants, who have dropped four of their past six games, are ranked last in the points table. Though they still have a chance to make the playoffs, the club cannot afford to drop any more games. In earlier games, the Giants lost badly to Desert Vipers, losing by six wickets. The Giants, batting first, were only able to score 160-7, and the Vipers won easily.
Sharjah Warriors have faced their fair share of difficulties in the interim. The group has had mixed results thus far, winning three and losing the same number of games. The team was skittled out for 129 in the previous game against MI Emirates, as MI pursued the goal in the 12th over with eight wickets remaining.
The Giants enter this match fresh off a lackluster performance in Match 19 in Dubai on Saturday against the Desert Vipers. They lost by a 6-wicket margin after being outplayed and outfought in both innings, with the Vipers crossing the boundary with 19 balls left.
Although a golden duck for the captain is never ideal, James Vince is the kind of player who can recover from such a setback and collect a significant amount of points in the following game.
In this game, Blessing Muzarabani, Jamie Overton, and Chris Jordan are our top ball handlers and should pose a threat.

Even though MI Emirates soundly defeated the Warriors in their most recent encounter, Sean Williams and Niroshan Dickwella both had excellent at-bat performances. After making 17 runs off of just 7 balls in Match 18, Dickwella will be trying to ‘tee off’ at the top of the order once more. But after the West Indian needed 31 balls to score 29 runs, he’ll need Johnson Charles, his opening partner, to keep in mind that this is a Twenty20 match!
If the Warriors choose to bat first in this game, their hitters just need to set more of a target on the board. Otherwise, their bowling attack seems to cover all the bases. Both left- and right-arm bowlers, Chris Woakes, Maheesh Theekshana, Daniel Sams, and Mark Watt, offer pace and spin to the Warriors.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
In this ILT20, the side fielding first and pursuing a target in the second innings has won every game played in Dubai thus far. If the toss is won, we anticipate that both teams will arrive at this location with the intention of bowling first.
On Sunday evening, a clear sky and a maximum temperature of 21 degrees are expected in Dubai.
However, with the wind predicted to reach 20 mph, there will be a breeze to take into account. This could lead to some issues or make bowling difficult.
In their three last matches, the Gulf Giants won 2, and the Sharjah Warriors won just one.
