MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants Team Preview & Squads

MI Emirates

Some are calling this match a potential championship, some a dead rubber, and more literary types calling it the first bite of the cherry. In short, the winner of this match will directly advance to the championship match!

Surprisingly, the six bowlers who were deployed all claimed at least one wicket against the Capitals, suggesting that the bowling department is well-stocked. Trent Boult should be this game’s primary bowling threat.

Andre Fletcher appears to be in fantastic form with the bat after scoring 45 runs off just 38 balls on Saturday.

Kieron Pollard (c), Chris Benjamin (wk), Muhammad Waseem, Andre Fletcher, Dan Mousley, Jordan Thompson, Kusal Perera, Dwayne Bravo, Trent Boult, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Muhammad Rohid.

Gulf Giants

The fact that the Giants have won their previous four encounters adds to the difficulty of MI Emirates’ assignment in this game. Any club that has Jordan Cox and James Vince putting up half-centuries at the top of the order is difficult to beat.

If the hitters don’t catch you, the bowlers will!

Jamie Overton enters the game having won Player of the Match with a score of 3/32 in the previous encounter. Chris Jordan, who is always in form, scored 2/22 in his four overs and appears to be a player who is prepared to contribute throughout the elimination stages!

MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants outfield report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Before this elimination match on Tuesday, we anticipate that both sides will want to field first, even if the team batting first won the previous match in Dubai.

Even though there was significant rain on Sunday throughout the UAE, it should have cleared up in time for this Tuesday’s match. Early in the day, there might be the occasional cloud, but by the evening, bright sky and a constant temperature in the mid-twenties are to be expected.

This pitch has consistently produced totals, and the par score is probably about 170. The batters will be most thrilled about batting here, but bowlers will usually be happy to beat the bat and have some fun.
