Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Prediction & Tips 2025
Max Holden missed most of the season but still made a significant impact as he scored 230 runs in four matches. Even though he struggled in the opening game, we expect him to bounce back and do well in the upcoming game.
Sunil Narine’s impact in T20 cricket has been huge but in the last few seasons he has struggled in the batting department which has been the case in 2025. We believe Narine will score low in the upcoming game.
