Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Betting Tips
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to score under 15.5 runs before 1st dismissal
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders had a great start to their campaign this season but they were blown out in the previous fixture where they witnessed a great loss against Dubai Capitals. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders posted the scores of 4, 12 & 7 runs before 1st dismissal in the three games. They scored under our target on all those occasions. Alishan Sharafu and Andries Gous open for the team and currently average at 8.66 & 51.00 respectively in the competition. Gous had a terrific innings in the 1st game but was dismissed early in the next two outings. In their last meeting, ADKR scored 4 runs before their first dismissal in the outing. That said, ADKR are expected to lose an early wicket in the next game against Desert Vipers.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Desert Vipers Toss Prediction
Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will be the venue for this encounter. The average 1st innings score at this venue in domestic T20s is 163 runs. However, a match-winning total on this ground will be something over 190-195 runs. While there is no particular advantage to either batting or bowling first at this venue, we reckon chasing should be the preferred option given the nature of the pitch in Abu Dhabi.
Weather Report
The temperature will remain between 21-27 degree Celsius on January 27. There is no possibility of rain on game-day but the skies will remain partly cloudy.
