Sharjah Warriorz vs Dubai Capitals Expert Prediction

Sharjah Warriorz and Dubai Capitals are both coming off the back of defeats, ramping up the importance of this latest ILT20 contest. Sharjah will need to improve significantly with the bat after being bowled out for just 129 last time out against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, whilst Dubai Capitals must tighten up with ball, they conceded 187 runs vs MI Emirates.

Sharjah is a pitch that normally favours spin and the hosts have some very strong spin options which they will hope to utilise to their advantage. But playing in front of their fans is also a key point, that should give the Warriorz a much-needed boost. Dubai could struggle defending some small boundaries and therefore, consider backing Sharjah Warriorz to send the crowd home happy.
