Match Details

Team Preview – Sharjah

Sharjah are having a fantastic campaign so far, sitting at 2nd position with 5 wins and 2 losses. Their balanced squad and match awareness make them one of the tournament’s most consistent performers.

Batting: The key to Sharjah’s success has been the consistent performance of their top order. Vritiya Aravind, the top run-getter with 214 runs, has been reliable in anchoring innings. Khalid Shah and Usaid Amin add much-needed stability and aggression in the middle order.

Bowling: On the bowling front, Aayan Khan has been a revelation, leading the attack with 18 wickets so far. His ability to pick wickets in both powerplay and death overs has been crucial. Alongside him, Fathhur Rahman and Muhammad Yousafzai provide good control and variations.

In their last match, Sharjah posted 158 for 6 against Fujairah. Later, Aayan Khan’s brilliant spell (3/13) sealed a comfortable 50-run victory. Sharjah’s combination of youth and experience makes them favorites heading into this fixture.

Team Preview – Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi have struggled for consistency, currently sitting 5th on the points table with 2 wins and 4 losses. However, their recent victory over Ajman has restored some confidence in the camp.

Batting: Shehan Dilshan, with 194 runs, has been their standout batter, playing match-winning knocks under pressure. Rohan Mustafa and Luqman Faisal are also capable of providing explosive starts, while Basil Hameed adds depth in the middle order.

Bowling: Their bowling has been slightly underwhelming, with Akif Raja being the leading wicket-taker (5 wickets). The team needs better performances from their pacers like Umair Ali Khan and Zia Mukhtar to restrict strong batting sides like Sharjah.

In their last outing, Shehan Dilshan’s rapid 57 off 27 balls helped Abu Dhabi chase down Ajman’s total of 150, winning by 5 wickets. If their bowlers support their in-form batters, Abu Dhabi could challenge Sharjah.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match (Sharjah)

Sharjah enter this match as the favorites due to their well-balanced squad and strong recent form. Their top order looks stable, and the bowling unit, led by Aayan Khan, has been exceptional. Abu Dhabi rely heavily on Shehan Dilshan and Rohan Mustafa, making them slightly top-heavy. If Sharjah’s middle order fires again, they are expected to dominate from the start. The depth in both batting and bowling makes Sharjah the most balanced and confident side heading into this encounter.
