On December 3 at 17:30, the second match of the main phase of the International League T20 cricket tournament will take place between last season’s medalists “Sharjah Warriors” and the team that finished last, the “Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.”
Teams current form
The experience of previous performances helped the teams prepare for the new season. Both teams look pretty good. The first game will say more about their preparation. It is important what form the team leaders will be in for the game.
“Sharjah Warriors” form
The main problem the coach of the Sharjah team, Jean-Paul Duminy, will have to fight is inconsistency and mistakes at key moments. A lot of attention in pre-match preparation is paid to the psychological resilience of the players. The team’s home arena will help them, as there will be no need for additional adaptation to the stadium conditions. So far their best result is third place last season.
“Abu Dhabi Knight Riders” form
The team is counting heavily on its experienced captain Sunil Narine. He makes important decisions during the match. The leading athletes will have a very big influence on the game. Right-arm bowlers predominate in the bowling line, which may be a drawback against some lineups. Dwayne John Bravo has tried to work on the balance between attack and defense. But their play will show everything.
