Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Analysis
Although Abu Dhabi Knight Riders tasted defeat first up in this year’s tournament, they could take some positives out of their performance. Not least Phil Salt’s unbeaten 71 opening the batting in the first innings. Salt is expected to leave the camp imminently for England’s white ball tour of India, but if he does get the opportunity to play here before going, then investment in the opener may well prove worthwhile, specifically for him to score over 24.5 match runs.
Sharjah Warriorz Betting Analysis
Sharjah Warriorz can call upon the experience of Tim Southee with the ball which immediately paid dividends against Gulf Giants. The former New Zealand star picked up three wickets, finishing as his side’s bowler and with the joint-most economic figures of any Sharjah bowler who featured. Southee still has lots to prove in white ball cricket since bringing his excellent international Test career to a close and bettors should consider backing him to take another 2+ wickets in this game.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Sharjah Warriorz Expert Prediction
Although they may have not gotten the win last time out, Sharjah Warriorz came exceedingly close and you feel that more ILT20 points are just around the corner for them. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders meanwhile appeared to be slightly less convincing and against Sharjah’s power-packed line-up, they could be in for some punishment.
