Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Team Preview & Squads
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders
The club won’t be eager to change their winning formula after securing a victory in the opening game. We believe that the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will start the following game with the same starting lineup.
In the opening game, Gous was at his best, smashing a remarkable 95 not out in 50 balls to help the club chase easily. In the following game, the batter will aim for another strong performance.
