Gulf Giants Betting Analysis

Assuming he is available for selection, Chris Jordan could be key on the bowling front. Jordan is fresh after having played for Hobart Hurricanes in BBL14. His accuracy at the death may well lead to wickets late in the opposition’s innings. Therefore, if Jordan is available and is indeed selected, then back him to take over 1.5 match wickets.

Sharjah Warriorz Betting Analysis

Another bowler comes under the microscope here, this time spinner Adil Rashid. Rashid has the ability to quickly slow down the opponent with wickets and his ability to turn the ball both ways make him so tough to face. Back England white ball veteran Rashid to finish this game as Sharjah Warrior`’ top bowler.

Gulf Giants vs Sharjah Warriorz Expert Prediction

It looks on paper like there is more power hitting on the side of Gulf Giants with them being able to bat right down the order. That should be very important in Dubai. Sharjah Warriorz are likely to struggle controlling here due to the level on hitting on the Sharjah side. With that in mind, it’s well worth backing Gulf Giants to come out on top.
