Abu Dhabi Preview
Abu Dhabi finds themselves in the fifth position after a tough loss against Emirates Blues. Despite showing moments of promise, they couldn’t capitalize on their starts. Their batting unit, led by Shehan Dilshan and Mayank Choudhary, displayed grit but failed to post a winning total. Both batters scored 37 runs each, helping Abu Dhabi reach a total of 141 before being bowled out.
Bowling, however, remains a concern. Jeet Bhatia was the only bowler to claim a wicket in the previous outing. Abu Dhabi needs a more collective bowling effort to restrict strong batting sides. The likes of Basil Hameed, Rohan Mustafa, and Ethan D’souza will be crucial in providing both experience and balance to the side.
Abu Dhabi’s biggest strength lies in their top order, but their middle-order needs to step up. Their bowling attack, led by Mustafa and Nadeem, will aim to strike early and put Ajman under pressure. A win in this game will bring much-needed momentum to their campaign.
Ajman Preview
Ajman had a forgettable start to their Emirates D20 2025 campaign, suffering a massive defeat against Sharjah by nine wickets. Their batting unit completely misfired, managing just 96 runs before being bowled out. Muhammad Saghir Khan was the only bright spot with 17 runs, while the rest of the lineup crumbled under pressure.
Bowling was equally ineffective, with Muzamil Qasim picking up the only wicket for Ajman. The team will need its senior players like Ansh Tandon, Usman Shinwari, and Mohsin Khan to step up and deliver. Their bowling attack has the potential to trouble Abu Dhabi, but they’ll need early breakthroughs to stay competitive.
Ajman’s biggest challenge is stabilizing their batting. A steady partnership in the top order could change their fortunes. If they can post a fighting total, their bowlers might just have the edge in Sharjah’s spin-friendly conditions.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Abu Dhabi enters this clash as the favourites to win against Ajman. Their balanced lineup, featuring experienced campaigners like Rohan Mustafa and Basil Hameed, gives them an edge in both batting and bowling departments. The team’s top order looks stronger, and their ability to post defendable totals makes them a tough opponent in Sharjah’s conditions.
On the other hand, Ajman has struggled with consistency, especially in their batting unit, which has failed to deliver under pressure. Abu Dhabi’s bowlers are also more disciplined and possess the experience to handle the conditions effectively. If Abu Dhabi’s top order clicks, they can comfortably dominate this match. Based on current form, team balance, and past records, Abu Dhabi holds a clear upper hand in this contest.
