The Sheikh Zayed Stadium is one id of the more difficult venues to bat on. The boundaries here aren’t the shortest and the batsmen will need to be careful with their shot selection. We therefore think that it will be difficult for the batsmen to go after the bowlers.
As mentioned in this article, the bowlers will have a good time bowling here. Each of the last 5 matches played here has seen at least 13 wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.
The Desert Vipers will look to confirm their place in the playoffs as they take on the MI Emirates in a top-of-the-table clash on Monday. They will play at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The two teams have played 3 games against each other. The Desert Vipers have won twice while the Emirates have won once.
This match can be watched live on the FanCode App and Zee5 App.
The Emirates have been rather inconsistent this year and have managed to win only 3 of their 7 games this season. However, as they have a better NRR compared to other franchises, the Emirates are placed 2nd on the points table.
Tom Banton is in red-hot form with the bat. With one century and two half-centuries, he is the leading run-scorer of the season. He will have the support of Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard in the middle order, both of whom are known for their explosive batting. In the opening slot, Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem have given the team some decent starts but the team will want them to be more consistent.
MI Emirates also has one of the strongest pace attacks in the league. Fazalhaq Farooqi is the leading wicket-taker with 16 wickets while Alzarri Joseph has 12. Muhammad Rohid, who was playing his first match of the season on Saturday bowled well to pick up 2 wickets.
While the team has a couple of good spinners in the form of Akeal Hosein and Waqar Salamkheil, they have picked up only 6 wickets among themselves.
The Desert Vipers are by far the most consistent team this season and have lost only one of their 7 games. With 12 points, they are at the top of the table and a win here will take them through to the playoffs.
Fakhar Zaman and Alex Hales have been among the most consistent opening pairs and are also among the team’s leading run-getters. The duo has scored two half-centuries each and has been scoring runs at a brisk pace as well.
Skipper Sam Curran has led his team from the front, scoring 212 runs, and has also picked up 3 wickets. With batsmen like Dan Lawrence, Sherfane Rutherford, Azam Khan, and Dhruv Parashar coming lower down the order, there is no dearth of talent in the batting line-up.
Mohammad Amir is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 10 wickets. He has also been quite economical with his bowling. Khuzaima Tanveer, who was playing his first match of the season on Saturday, picked up a 4-wicket haul and looks a promising young talent.
Wanindu Hasaranga is one of the most lethal bowlers in the shortest format and has picked up 8 wickets so far.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
The pitch at Abu Dhabi has an even covering of grass and the fast bowlers will enjoy bowling here. There will be some swing and movement of the seam as well. That said, the batsmen will be able to play their shots once they settle down. A score of around 160 is a par score on this ground.
The weather will remain clear with pleasant temperatures.
We are backing the Desert Vipers to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance this year and have hardly faltered. The Emirates on the other hand have some good individual players but they need to perform better as a team.
Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
