Dubai International Cricket Stadium

Table toppers Desert Vipers faces fifth placed Sharjah Warriorz in the 2025 International League T20 aiming to shrug off their first loss of the tournament. The match is scheduled to be played from 8:00 PM IST on 22nd January at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Chance of Winning

The Desert Vipers’ all-conquering run came to a stark halt against last season’s finalists, Dubai Capital. Prior to the shock defeat, the Vipers had won four games on the bounce and were sitting pretty at the top of the table with 8 points. They will be aiming to return to winning ways immediately against the Warriorz.

The Sharjah Warriorz’s topsy-turvy season has seen them lose every alternate match. With 2 losses and 2 wins, they find themselves in 5th spot in the table with just four points to their name. Their streak of winning alternating matches is in serious jeopardy with the table toppers up next.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has not afforded many runs to the batsmen this season as it did in the previous two editions. The average score has just touched 150 while 8 times in 14 innings, teams failed to score more than 140 runs. We're expecting a match with conservative scoring with an aggregate score fewer than 315. You can find odds of 1.72 on Parimatch for this prediction. Alongside this, we're backing odds of 1.85 for Alex Hales to score more than 21.5 runs in the match. The English opener has scored 34 or more in each of his last three innings and we're backing him to go big in Dubai.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Match Toss Prediction

The pitch in Dubai has not favoured teams batting first or second. In 7 games so far, teams chasing have won four games while losing three. In previous seasons, the pitch has favoured the chasing teams slightly and hence we're expecting the captain that wins the toss to send the opposition in to bat.

Weather Report

Dubai is expected to have the ideal conditions for a game of cricket when the Vipers and Warriorz face off. There's no chance of rain, the wind is expected to calm down, and humidity below 50% with the temperature around 21 degrees celsius, the conditions are perfect for a cracking match.

Sharjah Warriorz Team Form

Sharjah Warriorz have recorded two wins in their four games so far in the season. They started their campaign with a win against the Gulf Giants before losing to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. A win over Dubai Capital was followed by a loss to MI Emirates in their most recent match.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Head to Head

Head to Head

Desert Vipers: 3

Sharjah Warriorz: 1

Draw: 0

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Betting Odds

Sharjah Warriorz to lose more wickets in the powerplay overs

The Sharjah Warriorz try to maximise the use of the powerplay overs irrespective of the hits they take in terms of wickets lost. They have lost an average of 2 wickets in each match in the first 6 overs. In contrast, the Desert Vipers have a more conservative approach to the field restrictions, losing just 5 wickets in as many games. While their run rate isn't as high as the Warriorz, they lose fewer wickets and we expect the same trend to continue in Dubai.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Top Batters

Alex Hales to be Desert Vipers’ top batsman

Desert Vipers opener Alex Hales has been consistent with the bat, scoring 156 runs in five games. Only once has he scored fewer than 20 runs in the tournament and we're backing him to go big against the Warriorz in Dubai.

Johnson Charles to be Sharjah Warriorz’s top batsman

The Warriorz’s best batsman in the tournament has been Johnson Charles with 120 runs in four matches. The West Indian comes into the match on the back of a 59-run knock against the MI Emirates. We expect him to continue his good form with a big score against the table toppers.

Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz Top Bowlers

Lockie Ferguson to be Desert Vipers’ top bowler

With 8 wickets in four games, Lockie Ferguson is the third most prolific bowler in the tournament. The New Zealand international was afforded a rest in the fourth game and came back strongly to take two wickets against the Capital. He'll be itching to lead his team back to winning ways.

Tim Southee to be Sharjah Warriorz’s top bowler

The Warriorz's captain Tim Southee is our pick to be the best bowler from the team in the match. He has blanked in two matches and taken 5 wickets in the other two games. The only match he played in Dubai saw him return with figures of 3/30 and we expect him to do well once again on familiar turf.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Desert Vipers

Both teams come into the match having lost their previous games, but that is where the similarities end. The Vipers have four wins as compared to the Warriorz’s two with the former setting the pace at the top of the table. The bookmakers heavily back the Vipers to win the match and we're expecting them to defeat the Warriorz with ease.
