Sharjah Warriorz vs MI Emirates Chance of Winning

The Sharjah Warriorz have surprised quite a few with their performances so far this season. The team that finished in the bottom two positions in the table in the previous seasons have registered two wins in three games so far. They will come into the home match full of confidence after vanquishing last season’s finalists Dubai Capitals in their most recent encounter.

The MI Emirates have been riding on Fazalhaq Farooqui and Nicholas Pooran’s form so far. They started the campaign with a 1-run loss to Dubai Capitals, a team they beat in the very next game. However, their last match saw the Desert Vipers manage Farooqui well and comfortably chase down the target of 160.

Sharjah Warriorz vs MI Emirates Match Toss Prediction

Both of Sharjah Warriorz’s wins have come when they batted second. While MI Emirates’ only win came when they batted first against Dubai Capitals, they were unsuccessful in defending their target in the previous game. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium slightly favours the team chasing with 9 wins as compared to 6 for the team batting first. We’re backing the captain that wins the toss to field first.

Weather Report

The temperature during match hours is forecast to be between 20 and 24 degrees celsius. There will be a little bit of cloud cover and strong winds blowing during the match in Sharjah. While there’s a 5% chance of rain, we are expecting a full game to be played.

MI Emirates Team Form

Sharjah Warriorz vs MI Emirates Betting Odds

The Warriorz to score more runs in the powerplay than the MI Emirates

The Sharjah Warriorz have a tendency to maximise the powerplay overs. Excluding the implosion against the Knight Riders, the team has batted at a rate of over 10 runs per over in the powerplay overs. The MI Emirates have tightened things at the top as the tournament has progressed, from losing 4 wickets in the first game to 2 in the second and none in the third. However, their careful approach has resulted in a total of 132 runs in the powerplay overs in their three games. It is safe to assume that no matter the situation, the Sharjah Warriorz will try to go gung-ho in the powerplay overs, which is likely to fetch them more runs than their opponents.

Sharjah Warriorz vs MI Emirates Top Batters

Johnson Charles to be Sharjah Warriorz’s top batsman

After scoring just 12 runs in each of his first two matches, Johnson Charles finally got going with the team playing at home in Sharjah. In the previous match, the wicketkeeper-batsman scored 19-ball-37, laced with three sixes and as many fours. He laid the platform for the rest of his team to successfully chase down a seemingly mammoth target of 202 runs.

Nicholas Pooran to be MI Emirates’ top batsman

West Indian batter and MI Emirates captain Nicholas Pooran is our pick to go big in the match against the Warriorz. The 29-year-old is the second highest run scorer in the tournament so far, having scored two fifties so far in three games. With the top order not performing up to the mark, Pooran has had to step up and bail his team out more often than not.

Sharjah Warriorz vs MI Emirates Top Bowlers

Tim Southee to be Sharjah Warriorz’s top bowler

Team captain and pacer Tim Southee is Sharjah Warriorz’s leading wicket taker this season. He took 3 wickets in Dubai before blanking in Abu Dhabi, but returned to form at home in Sharjah with figures of 2/35 against the Capitals. We’re backing him to shine once again when the defending champions visit.

Fazalhaq Farooqui to be MI Emirates’ top bowler

The leading wicket-taker in the tournament saw his lead at the top be reduced to just 1 wicket after blanking against the Desert Vipers. The medium pacer is still the team’s most prolific weapon and they’ll be counting on him to be among the wickets once again if they are to climb up the table and defend their title.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

MI Emirates

Despite the form of the two teams, the bookmakers are backing MI Emirates to win the match. We, however, feel the Warriorz have the firepower to cause an upset by defeating the defending champions. Parimatch is offering odds of 2.44 for Warriorz to win, which seems tempting to us.
