Sharjah Warriorz Betting Analysis

Whilst Sharjah Warriorz sit bottom of the table, a thumping nine-wicket victory against Dubai Capitals last time out gave them something to build upon moving forward. Key to winning was Johnson Charles’ brutal 71 from 33 balls, including a whopping eight match sixes as the West Indian took full advantage of batting inside the powerplay. With the field up, Johnson can free his arms and play more aerial shots with less risk of being caught. This makes backing him to record over 1.5 match sixes a viable play for bettors.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Analysis

We focus on another West Indian player in our assessment of Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, this time on the bowling front. Jason Holder is an all-rounder but has impressed most with the ball across this tournament so far. His total of 13 wickets is more than any other Knight Riders bowler and is bettered only by two players at the time of writing. Backing Holder to register 2+ wickets here commands consideration.

Sharjah Warriorz vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Expert Prediction

The big question from a Sharjah perspective is whether they can build upon that win over the Capitals, their first victory in five games. However, they are yet to record back-to-back triumphs and we’ve seen enough false dawns from them this season to suggest a sustained turnaround. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are more of a solid outfit and have responded to each loss they’ve suffered with a win in the game after. That isn’t expected to change in this one.
