- Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Andre Russell finished last season with the highest strike rate out of batsmen who scored more than 100 runs.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Chance of Winning
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have put together an explosive top order and have a good mix of seasoned pacers and spinners in their ranks. However, their middle order seems to be a little weak and we feel unconvinced by their death bowling options.
Desert Vipers have a plethora of all rounders in their team to provide good balance and depth. The inclusion of Fakhar Zaman will add much-needed firepower to their batting department. The Vipers have been inconsistent in the previous editions and they will need to shake that off if they aim to have a memorable tournament.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The pitch at the Zayed Cricket Stadium has something for both the batsmen and bowlers. With average scores above 153 at the venue in the previous two seasons, we are expecting it to be a high-scoring match.
We’re backing local boy Alishan Sharafu to go big in the match. He scored an unbeaten 82 the last time the two sides met and will be expected to lead his team’s batting charge in the match. Alongside Sharafu, we have high expectations from Fakhar Zaman. The opening batsman comes into the tournament on the back of scoring 158 runs in his last three games at the Champions T20 Cup.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Betting Odds
Desert Vipers’ opening pair to outperform their counterparts
The two teams have faced each other four times and on each occasion, the Desert Vipers have had a better opening partnership than the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. While this was expected in the inaugural season as the Vipers reached the final, the same trend continued last season despite the Knight Riders qualifying for the play-offs ahead of the Vipers. It is difficult to make a call in both teams’ first games of the season, but we feel safe going with the historic record.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Top Batters
Alishan Sharafu to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top batsman
219 runs in 10 games have seen 22-year-old Alishan Sharafu be the most in-form batsman for the Knight Riders ahead of the start of the tournament. The opening batter will be playing at home and in the absence of big players missing due to the Bangladesh Premier League and Big Bash League, is expected to be the team’s top scorer.
Azam Khan to be Desert Vipers’ top batsman
In the absence of Alex Hales, who is playing in the Big Bash League, 26-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman comes into the tournament as the most in-form batter of the team. In his last 7 games, Azam Khan has scored 159 runs at an average of 31.80.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Top Bowlers
David Willey to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will be counting on their allrounder, Englishman David Willey to be lethal with the ball. In a relatively misfiring bowling attack last season for the team, Willey took 9 wickets in 11 matches.
Mohammad Amir to be Desert Vipers’ top bowler
With 12 wickets in the last 9 games, Mohammad Amir was the team’s leading wicket-taker alongside Wanindu Hasaranga last season. The Pakistani pacer has taken 350 wickets in T20 cricket and his team will be looking to him to get the bulk of the wickets against last season’s third best team.
