The two teams were scheduled to face each other in the 18th match of the season. But the match was abandoned without even a single ball being bowled.

Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Betting Odds

MI Emirates to have the highest opening partnership at 2.1 odds

MI Emirates boast of openers like Andre Fletcher and Muhammad Waseem who have been exceptional so far in the league. Moreover, the duo is coming off a stunning 141-run stand in the last game. While Fletcher scored 50 runs, Waseem thumped 80 runs in that game. So we predict MI Emirates to have the highest opening partnership among the two teams at 2.1 odds.

Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Top Team Batsmen

James Vince to be Gulf Giants top batter at 3.1 odds

James Vince is not having a great tournament and is due for a big knock. He started the tournament well with three fifties and has so far scored 229 runs in five innings at an SR of 150.65. With the playoffs approaching fast, Vince will be looking to regain his form desperately and so we predict him to become Gulf Giants' top batter at 3.1 odds.

Kieron Pollard to be MI Emirates top batter at 5 odds

Kieron Pollard has lit up the International League T20 with his batting. He has amassed 275 runs in six matches at an average of 91.66 and a strike rate of more than 180. If the team starts well, he bats at number three and that makes him an even more dangerous player. So we predict him to become MI Emirates' top batter at 5 odds.

Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Top Bowlers

Richard Gleeson to be Gulf Giants top bowler at 3.8 odds

Richard Gleeson takes the new ball for the Giants and can swing it well. He has so far picked up six wickets and is the most economical bowler of the side. Clearly, it is only a matter of time before he adds more wickets to his tally and this could be the game where he gets the well-deserved wickets. So we predict him to become Gulf Giants' top bowler at 3.8 odds.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to be MI Emirates top bowler at 3.7 odds

Fazalhaq Farooqi is an Afghanistan sensation who has kept the batters on their toes so far this season. He has picked up 8 wickets in six matches and has been fairly economical as well. Farooqi is a key wicket-taker for the MI Emirates and so we predict him to become the top bowler for them at 3.7 odds in this game.
