Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Analysis

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ recent win over Gulf Giants saw Michael Pepper impress, the Essex batter scoring a quick 57 off 35 balls, elevating his side to what turned out to be a winning score of 176/9. Pepper showed in last year’s T20 Blast that he is a confidence player in when in form, stopping him can be a nightmare when taking into account his ability to score all across the ground. Betters should weigh up potentially backing Pepper to accrue over 18.5 match runs on this occasion.

MI Emirates Betting Analysis

MI Emirates currently boasts the most potent bowler in the competition so far from a wicket-taking standpoint and bettors will no doubt be looking to invest in Fazalhaq Farooqi. The Afghanistan left-arm pacer already boasts seven wickets to his name over the course of this competition so far. Backing him to finish as MI Emirates’ top bowler appears an attractive play.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Expert Prediction

There’s no doubt that Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are a team with potential, but they perhaps lack that world class point of difference, which MI Emirates have through the likes of Nicholas Pooran, and Farooqi. Not to mention players such as Dan Mousley and Tom Banton, an exciting English duo who can contribute to winning games, the latter making a hundred last time out. In the end, this makes MI Emirates the team worth backing in this one.
