In the ILT20 season 2024, Sharjah Warriors and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will square off in match number 25. The game on February 7 will begin at 8:00 PM IST at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Four of the seven games have been won by Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. The group has won three of the previous four games, showing that they have momentum and form. The last game saw the Knight Riders defeat the Dubai Capitals by a margin of 29 runs.
The Sharjah Warriors, who have now dropped four of their last seven games, are rapidly losing ground. In addition, the Warriors have the lowest net run rate of any club, and their prospects of making the semifinals are dwindling quickly. For the team to have a chance right now, they must win every game they have left. In the most recent game, Gulf Giants smashed the Warriors by 79 runs.
The team’s batting lineup, which includes Laurie Evans, Sam Hain, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Alishan Sharafu, and Andre Russell, will be expected to provide the majority of the runs.
Andre Russell, an all-rounder from the West Indies, is presently leading the run score for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders with 192 runs at a strike rate of 228.57. Aside from Russell, Michael-Kyle Pepper has performed admirably this season, amassing 174 runs at a stellar 150.00 strike rate.
The team would be counting on bowlers like David Willey, Ali Khan, Sunil Narine, Imad Wasim, and Andre Russell to make significant bowling contributions on time. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders captain Sunil Narine leads atop the bowling stats with seven wickets at an economy rate of 6.37.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Squads
Sunil Narine (c), Michael-Kyle Pepper (wk), David Willey, Andre Russell, Joshua Little, Alishan Sharafu, Joe Clarke, Imad Wasim, Ali Khan, Sam Hain, Sagar Kalyan, and Laurie Evans.
Dilshan Madushanka and Junaid Siddiqui are eligible to enter the starting lineup. Siddiqui hasn’t participated in a game yet, while Madushanka was removed from the squad following a few early contests. Considering the team’s dismal performance, both of these adjustments seem highly likely.
In the previous game, Johnson Charles was out for two runs. With 231 runs scored, he leads the squad in batting average and has had a respectable season thus far. If the team is to make a turnaround, Charles must keep up his current level of performance.
James Fuller, Muhammad Jawadullah, Chris Woakes, Mahesh Theekshana, and others are the bowlers the team will be counting on to make big bowling strokes when needed. Off-spinner Mahesh Theekshana from Sri Lanka is presently leading the Sharjah Warriors in wickets taken thus far this season, with 11 to his tally.
Sharjah Warriors Squads
Tom Kohler-Cadmore (c), Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Chris Woakes/Dilshan Madushanka, Muhammad Jawadullah, Mark Watt, Johnson Charles, Joe Denly, Maheesh Theekshana, Sean Williams, Daniel Sams, Nilansh Keswani, and James Fuller/Junaid Siddiqui.
