MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriorz Expert Prediction

If second-placed Sharjah Warriorz want to overtake both Gulf Giants and MI Emirates in the table and secure a place in the first qualifier as second-place finishers, they will need beat the latter here and do so by a big enough margin that sees the Warriorz overturn the vast net-run-rate deficit between the two sides.

However, defeat may well see them eliminated and in MI Emirates, they face formidable opposition. One of MI Emirates’ last two wins came against league leaders Desert Vipers and they have already thrashed Sharjah by nine wickets this season at the same venue. Backing the second-placed MI Emirates to triumph should be afforded serious consideration.
