MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance of Winning
Defending champions MI Emirates started their campaign with a surprise loss to Dubai Capitals. However, since then, they won three of their next four matches with the only loss coming against the table toppers Desert Vipers. They look in good touch in the tournament and are the second most in-form team this season behind the Vipers.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders lost their last match against the same opponents, MI Emirates. With 2 wins in five matches, the Knight Riders have amassed 4 points and are in third spot only courtesy a better net run rate. They haven’t been as convincing as the MI Emirates and will need to pull up their socks if they are to cause an upset.
- MI Emirates Chance of Winning - 64%
- Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance of Winning - 36%

MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The pitch in Abu Dhabi has been a batter’s dream this season. Only once has a team failed to cross 150 runs in 4 matches played at the venue. Boundaries have come easily to batsmen in the match with an average of over 27 fours per match. Batery is offering odds of 1.85 for the match to see more than 26 fours to be hit in the game. Only once in the last four games did teams not reach that total.
The two matches that Nicholas Pooran has played in Abu Dhabi this campaign has seen him score 59 and 49. He is the third highest run scorer among all teams so far with 184 runs in four games. We feel he will go big in the match.

MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Odds
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to have a higher score in the powerplay
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders like to play life on the edge in the powerplay overs. Apart from the match against Desert Vipers, they have scores of 56, 63, 54, and 49 in the powerplay while losing an average of over 2 wickets in the four games. The MI Emirates play it conservatively in the powerplay overs generally scoring in the mid 40s while losing at the most 1 wicket. The outlier for them was the opening match against Dubai Capitals, but the average score for the team excluding that game is 48/1 . We’re expecting the Knight Riders to lose more wickets in the first six overs but also score more runs in that period than their opponents.

MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Batters
Nicholas Pooran to be MI Emirates’ top batsman
MI Emirates’ captain Nicholas Pooran is the team’s second-highest run scorer in the tournament. In four innings, he has scored 184 runs with 108 runs coming in two matches in Abu Dhabi. We are backing him to go big once again.
Andries Gous to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’s top batsman
With Phil Salt leaving the Knight Riders squad for international duty with England, Andries Gous has donned the role of Kyle Mayers’ partner. The American international scored a run-a-ball 34 against the MI Emirates in the previous game. Having had time to settle in, Gous will be eager to build on his 34-run knock with a half century or more in Abu Dhabi.
MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Bowlers
Fazalhaq Farooqi to be MI Emirates’ top bowler
MI Emirates’ medium pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi continues to be the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 dismissals to his name. The Afghanistan international started with a 5-wicket haul in the opening match and hasn’t looked back since. He remains our go-to pick to be the best bowler in the match.
Jason Holder to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler
Jason Holder blanked in his first match, but has been a revelation since then. He returned with figures of 4/23 in his second game while taking 2 wickets each in the next three matches. He is the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament just two wickets behind the leader, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
