Abu Dhabi Knight Riders: Dubai Capitals take on Sharjah Warriorz in a must-watch encounter in Season 3 of the ILT20 at the Dubai International Stadium here on Tuesday with both teams having contrasting aims -- the former hoping to gain the second playoff spot while the latter will hope to end their losing streak. The stage is set for a high-octane clash as Dubai Capitals will be hoping to exact revenge for their defeat in the previous encounter.

The last time these two sides met, fans witnessed a jaw-dropping thriller. Dubai Capitals posted a mammoth 201 runs, powered by Shai Hope’s sensational unbeaten 83. However, the Sharjah Warriorz pulled off a remarkable chase, with Avishka Fernando’s explosive 81 off just 27 balls leading the charge, supported by Johnson Charles’ 37 off 19 and Luke Wells’ 31 not out from 17 balls.

This time, Dubai Capitals come into the match, riding high after their emphatic victory over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. With eight points on the table, they remain firmly in contention for the second playoff spot, thanks to the brilliance of Gulbadin Naib and their star-studded lineup.
