Desert Vipers Betting Analysis
League stage winners Desert Vipers get another chance to put themselves in the final after losing the first qualifier. That despite the performance of Alex Hales, who scored 67 from 32 balls against Dubai. Hales’ is Desert Vipers’ top run scorer across the tournament with 353 from 11 innings. Backing the in-form Englishman to strike over 24.5 match runs here has to be favoured.
Sharjah Warriorz Betting Analysis
Sharjah Warriorz could call upon the vast experience of bowler Tim Southee, who took two wickets for the loss of just 24 runs across four overs in the eliminator as Sharjah overcame MI Emirates by six-wickets to keep their tournament hopes alive. Southee is used to bowling under pressure and he’ll no doubt be called upon again here in the crunch overs against the Vipers. Therefore, consider backing the right-arm pacer to take 2+ wickets for the second play-off game running.
Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Expert Prediction
Desert Vipers may have come up short last time out but the league stage winners will be expected to finally get the job done this time around and progress through to force a rematch with Dubai Capitals. The Vipers boast an excellent record against Sharjah Warriorz, having beaten them twice across the league stage by ten wickets and eight wickets respectively and with the players at their disposal, they should make it a hat-trick of wins.
