Desert Vipers To Win, 1.65
The latest match between the two teams was won by the Vipers
The Vipers have won 4 of their last 6 matches played here
The middle order batting from the Sharjah Warriorz hasn’t been consistent
Sam Curran is the leading run-scorer for the Desert Vipers this year. He has an average of 52.66 and has scored at least 28 runs in 4 of his last 5 matches. We are expecting his good form to continue.
The pitch at Dubai provides the bowlers plenty of opportunities to pick up wickets. 6 of the last 7 matches played here have seen at least 13 wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.
The Sharjah Warriorz will look to get back to winning ways as they take on the Desert Vipers on Wednesday. The match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The two teams have played 2 matches against each other with both teams winning one game.
This match can be watched live on the FanCode App and Zee5 app.
The Desert Vipers are among the most consistent teams this year, winning each of their first 4 games. However, they faced their first defeat of the season on Monday as they were overcome by the Dubai Capitals.
Fakhar Zaman and Alex Hales gave the team yet another decent start in the last match. The duo has been among the most consistent opening pairs in the league and the team will expect them to continue playing well.
The middle order is pretty strong as well thanks to the presence of players like Dan Lawrence, Sam Curran, and Sherfane Rutherford. All of them can strike the ball well and if one of them gets going, the Vipers could post a big total.
Coming to the bowling, Lockie Ferguson and Mohammad Amir male up for a strong new-ball pair. Ferguson is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets while Amir has picked up 5. Wanindu Hasaranga, who is the specialist in the team has bowled well in patches and has 4 wickets against his name.
The Sharjah Warriorz have been a bit inconsistent this year and have managed to win only 2 of their 4 games so far.
Johnson Charles has been pretty consistent at the top of the order. He scored an excellent half-century in the previous match and will look to do the same in this game as well. However, he will need better support from Jason Roy, who seems to be struggling against the new ball.
Avishka Fernando has played well in both the innings and is one of the key batsmen for the team. The others in the middle order include Rohan Mustafa, Keemo Paul, Luke Wells, and Karim Janat. However, they haven’t been consistent with the bat.
In the bowling department, Tim Southee is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 5 wickets but has often been expensive. Similarly, the other seamers like Adam Milne and Dilshan Madushanka have both gone for close to 9 runs per over.
The spinners have fared slightly better as Adil Rashid and Harmeet Singh picked up 5 wickets between them.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at Dubai is a bit dry compared to the other venues and the spinners will get greater success if they vary their line and length. That said, it still remains a good batting track with a par score of around 170.
The weather will remain pleasant with temperatures of around 21 degrees.
We are backing the Desert Vipers to win this match. While they did lose their most recent fixture, they are one of the strongest teams in the league and we expect them to bounce back. The Sharjah Warriorz have been a bit inconsistent and could struggle here.
Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
