Team Previews
Abu Dhabi Preview:
Abu Dhabi enters this match high on confidence after defeating Emirates Red convincingly. With 5 wins in 10 matches, they sit just behind Sharjah and are gaining momentum. The team’s batting has revolved around veteran Rohan Mustafa, who has amassed 242 runs with consistent striking ability. Ali Abid has also chipped in well with his attacking style.
In bowling, Haider Razzaq has emerged as a key performer, picking 9 wickets with his tight lines. Haider Ali and Ibrar Ahmed provide valuable support with their variations. Abu Dhabi’s strength lies in their all-round depth and ability to finish games quickly, making them a strong contender in this matchup.
Sharjah Preview:
Sharjah, also with 5 wins from 10 matches, are slightly faltering after a close defeat against Ajman. Despite standout efforts from Daniyal Liaquat (194 runs) and Ibrahim Masood (9 wickets), Sharjah’s inconsistency with the bat remains a concern. Their middle-order collapse in the last match exposed the lack of finishing depth.
Still, Sharjah boasts explosive potential with the likes of Noor Ayobi, Luqman Faisal, and captain Rizwan. If the top order clicks, they are capable of posting or chasing any total. However, their bowling attack, apart from Masood, lacks penetration in the death overs.

Favourite Team Today – Abu Dhabi (Why?)
Abu Dhabi has a more balanced and in-form lineup with experienced campaigners like Rohan Mustafa and Basil Hameed leading from the front. Their recent win against Emirates Red showcased their clinical chase and bowling depth. Compared to Sharjah’s inconsistent middle-order and struggles in death overs, Abu Dhabi holds an edge in both strategy and form. Their bowling attack, led by Haider Razzaq, has been more effective at curbing runs and taking wickets at regular intervals. If the top order fires again, Abu Dhabi is likely to control the game throughout.
