MI Emirates Betting Analysis

With a whopping 20 wickets taken so far in this year’s ILT20 over the course of ten matches, it’s been a brilliant campaign for Fazalhaq Farooqi, who has led from the front bowling-wise for MI Emirates. The Afghanistan star boasts a five-wicket haul to his name and no player has picked up more wickets than him. Averaging two scalps per game so far, back Farooqui to acquire over 1.5 match wickets here.

Sharjah Warriorz Betting Analysis

Sharjah Warriorz’ top run getter has been English player Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who is the only Sharjah player among the five highest run-scorers across the entire competition this year. His 347 runs have come in only eight innings, which is a notable fact when considering that the rest of the top five have had at least ten innings each. Therefore, back the Somerset batter to finish this encounter as Sharjah’s top batter.

MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriorz Expert Prediction

Whilst both these two teams contain some very potent weapons within their arsenal from a batting and bowling point of view, MI Emirates may have the edge when it comes to difference makers when taking into account the recent performances of players such as Banton and Farooqi. Throw in captain Nicholas Pooran and it’s going to make them very hard to stop here. Sharjah Warriorz are not to be underestimated with three straight wins to their name and an identical league stage record. But MI Emirates are worth backing to gain revenge for their defeat at the hands of the Warriorz last weekend.
