Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Chance of Winning
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have had a tough start to the tournament so far with two matches against the table toppers, Desert Vipers. While they lost those two matches, they dominated the Gulf Giants and Sharjah Warriorz. With 4 points in as many matches, their record doesn’t look great, but it is masked by the difficult start they had to the season.
Defending champions MI Emirates have been riding on individual brilliance so far in the season with Fazalhaq Farooqui excelling with the ball while Nicholas Pooran and Tom Banton have performed well with the bat. They have two wins in four matches while they’ve lost matches against Desert Vipers and Dubai Capitals. They will need to perform better as a unit to replicate last season’s exploits.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The two highest wicket-takers of the tournament play for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and MI Emirates. The Zayed Cricket Stadium has seen only one team score above 170 runs so far in three games.
Hence, we’re backing the bowlers to do well and are backing odds of 1.90 on Batery for 13 or fewer sixes to be hit in the match. With the form of Fazalhaq Farooqui and Jason Holder, we are also tempted by odds of 1.92 on Parimatch for more than 13 wickets to fall in the match.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Betting Odds
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to have a better opening partnership than the MI Emirates
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders average just over 18 runs for the opening wicket in the four games they have played. However, two of their games were against the table toppers and their most recent match saw them put together 39 runs for the first wicket. Meanwhile, MI Emirates have failed to reach double digits in two of their four games. While they were exceptional against the Vipers, none of their other three matches have seen their openers score more than 20 runs. We are expecting the Knight Riders to continue their recent form and set a good platform for the rest of the team to build on against the MI Emirates.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Top Batters
Alishan Sharafu to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’s top batsman
71 runs out of the 87 Alishan Sharafu has scored in four games have come in Abu Dhabi. The middle order batter has shown he can adapt to the pitch at their home ground better than elsewhere. His top score of 46 came against the Vipers, showing his capability of dealing with the best bowlers on the wicket. The team will need him to be on top of his game to navigate Farooqui.
Tom Banton to be MI Emirates’ top batsman
Tom Banton is the second highest run scorer in the tournament so far, behind Shai Hope. He comes into the match on the back of an unbeaten century against the Sharjah Warriorz. In his only match in Abu Dhabi, the 26-year-old scored 74 against the Dubai Capitals. We feel he will go big against the Knight Riders.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs MI Emirates Top Bowlers
Jason Holder to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler
West Indies all rounder Jason Holder is the in-form bowler for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. His tournament started wicketless against Desert Vipers, but found his rhythm right after. In the next three games, the 33-year-old took 8 wickets to become the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
Fazalhaq Farooqui to be MI Emirates’ top bowler
After a blank in the match against the table toppers Desert Vipers, Fazalhaq Farooqui returned with figures of 4/24 against the Sharjah Warriorz. He has taken 11 wickets in the tournament so far and is our pick to be the team’s best bowler once again against the Knight Riders.
