Sunil Narine will be upset with his bowlers. They wasted a golden opportunity in the last game against the Dubai Capitals, losing by 8 wickets. The side failed to defend 203 runs on the board with a poor bowling performance. Narine must lead from the front with the ball and expect a better performance to open up the prospects of a berth in the playoffs.
Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous have delivered good starts this season, and the team expects another one from this pair. Charith Asalanka played a blinder and will look to add runs in the middle order with Michael-Kyle Pepper and Alishan Sharafu. Sunil Narine, Jason Holder, and Andre Russell are good finishers, making it a formidable batting lineup.
The bowlers will face an acid test in this game after the hammering they received in the last game. David Willey and Kyle Mayers must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a commanding position.

We expect excellent weather conditions in Sharjah. Batting conditions will be good as the track is known for big scores. Batsmen can easily play their strokes, and bowlers must use their variations well. The average first-innings score this season is 173 runs. The team batting first would like to have 200 on board.

High TurnSharjah Cricket Stadium is one of the best batting surfaces in the world, with a flat surface, short boundaries, and a fast outfield. Fast bowlers have found it difficult to bowl on this surface, but spinners have done well, as the odd ball can take a sharp turn on this wicket.
The team chasing the score has won all five games in Sharjah this season. As the results have shown, it is not the easiest of wickets to set up a score and defend it. The team winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first.
The Sharjah Warriorz have been the most inconsistent team this season, and their position on the points table is a testimony to this. The batting lineup has struggled, and they must be doing their best for the team to win here. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have a strong batting lineup and a good record against the Warriorz, giving them an edge.
