Despite mi emirates

The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders: Placed third in the standings ILT20 Season 3, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will be hoping to improve their position when they take on Dubai Capitals while Sharjah Warriorz meet Gulf Giants in the Sunday doubleheader, which promises to be a blockbuster evening.

In the afternoon, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders face Dubai Capitals as both the teams are tied on the same points and will be vying to snatch the two points. Later, Sharjah Warriorz will face Gulf Giants in the second match of the day hoping to move up the standings as both teams are placed towards the bottom of the table. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders head into this match with momentum on their side after a convincing win in their previous game.

A gritty half-century from Alishan Sharafu and a quickfire 32 from Charith Asalanka helped the Knight Riders post an impressive total of 182 runs. Despite MI Emirates’ brave attempt to chase, powered by an unbeaten 69 from Kieron Pollard, Alzarri Joseph’s superb bowling performance proved too much to handle, restricting the Emirates to just 140 runs in 20 overs. Dubai Capitals also enter this clash riding high on confidence after a dominant win over Gulf Giants. The Giants managed a modest 153 runs, courtesy of strong performances from Jordan Cox, Gerhard Erasmus, and James Vince.
