Abu Dhabi Knight Riders
MI Emirates
Total wickets - Over 13.5
The bowlers who bowl a good line and length at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium have been rewarded with wickets. 3 of the last 5 ILT20 games played here have seen at least 14 wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.
Joe Clarke to score Over 20.5 runs
Joe Clarke is the leading run-scorer for the Knight Riders this season. He has an average of 28.00 and has scored at least 24 runs in each of his last 3 outings. We are therefore backing him to play a good innings.
As we enter the second half of the ongoing ILT20 season, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will take on MI Emirates for match number 14 on Tuesday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The two teams have faced each other in 2 matches, and both of them were won by MI Emirates.
This match can be watched live on the FanCode App and Zee5 app.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have won 2 of their 4 matches this season and are currently 3rd on the points table.
Joe Clarke and Michael Pepper will be the key batsmen for the Knight Riders in this match. Clarke is the team’s leading run-scorer with 115 runs, while Pepper scored a half-century in the last match and appears to be in good form.
Alishan Sharafu has got some good starts so far but the team will want him to play a big innings here.
The Knight Riders also have two of the best all-rounders, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, who can play the big shots in the death overs. The team has a strong pace attack that will be led by Jason Holder.
Holder has picked up 8 wickets and has received good support from David Willey, Kyle Mayers, and Ibrar Ahmed. However, the spin department has only Sunil Narine.
The MI Emirates have charted a journey similar to that of the Knight Riders and they too have e4 points from as many matches. However, they are ranked higher on the table due to a better NRR.
The Emirates scored a massive victory in their latest outing as they defeated the Warriorz by 9 wickets. Tom Banton was in red-hot form as he slammed a century to guide his team to a memorable win. Banton remains a key part of the middle order along with Nicholas Pooran.
At the top of the order, Kusal Perera finally managed to get back some of his lost form as he scored 56 runs. However, his partner, Muhammad Waseem needs to play better as he is averaging just 12 runs in 4 innings. The others in the middle order include Kieron Pollard, Dan Mousley, and Romario Shepherd.
Fazalhaq Farooqi has been brilliant with the new ball and has picked up 11 wickets, making him the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Alzarri Joseph and Zahoor Khan have supported him well, picking up 11 wickets between them.
The spinners however need to bowl a better line and length.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch here is balanced. There is some grass on the surface allowing the ball to move off the seam. However, as the ball gets a bit old, playing shots will get easier. A score of around 170-180 is a par score here.
The weather in Abu Dhabi will remain clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees.
Both teams have been a bit inconsistent this year and will be eager to get some wins under their belt. We feel that the MI Emirates have an edge here as they have a strong batting line-up that has plenty of depth. Also, they have one of the strongest seam attacks in the league, and that will be a big plus for them.
Bet on the MI Emirates to win.
