Sharjah Warriors vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance Winning
The ILT20 is at the business end of the group stage but the playoffs scene is wide open with all six teams still in play. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders occupy the second place with eight points and a net run-rate of -0.401. Sharjah Warriors are reeling at the bottom of the table with six points and the worst net run-rate of -1.653.
Sharjah Warriors took a 79-run beating at the hands of Gulf Giants in their previous game on Sunday. Bowling first, their bowlers did a decent job to keep the run-rate in check with Gulf Giants making 89/4 in 12 overs. But they were all over the place at the back end as they conceded 98 in eight overs.
Chasing 188, Sharjah Warriors had a horrible start as they lost half the side for 44 runs. Tom Kohler-Cadmore struck 39 off 23 but was the fourth batter to get dismissed. Lewis Gregory later scored 30 off 19 but it wasn't enough to salvage the innings, eventually ending on 108.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are coming off a 29-run victory over Dubai Capitals in their previous game. Having been sent in to bat first, Michael Pepper struck 32 off 16 to get them off to a good start but then they lost too many wickets. After being reduced to 111/7, Andre Russell smashed 41 off 16 while David Willey added an unbeaten 26 off 18 to power the side to 183.
Defending the total, the ADKR bowling attack did an outstanding job to take control of the game by reducing Dubai Capitals to 75/7. They had some resistance from Jason Holder and Scott Kuggeleijn but eventually held them off comfortably, with David Willey, Imad Wasim and Sunil Narine bagging two wickets each.
