Teams Preview
Sharjah Warriors Preview
Tim Southee’s side delivered a clinical performance against Dubai Capitals, securing a massive 9-wicket win. However, they still find themselves at the bottom of the table and must continue winning to stay in the competition.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Johnson Charles built a brilliant 123-run stand in the last game, and a similar start will put them in a strong position. Jason Roy has been consistent, and his partnerships with Avishka Fernando and Tim Seifert in the middle order will be crucial. Ethan D’Souza, Ashton Agar, and Rohan Mustafa add depth to the batting lineup.
In bowling, Southee will look to strike early alongside Adam Milne. Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar need to capitalize on the pitch conditions against a strong ADKR batting unit. Dilshan Madushanka and Rohan Mustafa must support well for an all-round performance.
Sharjah Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Tim Southee (c), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Jason Roy, Avishka Fernando, Tim Seifert (wk), Ethan D'Souza, Ashton Agar, Rohan Mustafa, Adam Milne, Dilshan Madushanka, Adam Zampa, Johnson Charles (Impact Player)

The bowling unit must step up after a disappointing outing. David Willey and Kyle Mayers must provide early breakthroughs, while Jason Holder and Sunil Narine control the middle overs. The team will also need Ali Khan, Ibrar Ahmed, and Russell to deliver impactful spells.
