---|---|
Date | 12th January 2023 |
Time | 7:30 PM IST, 2:00 PM GMT 6:00 PM LOCAL |
Venue | Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi |
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are yet to win a game in their eight outings so far. They have been miserable and have lost seven of the eight games. One match ended in no result. They are out of the tournament but can still spoil the party for a lot of teams.
MI Emirates have been decent in ILT20 with 4 wins and 3 losses. A win in the coming game will boost their chances of reaching the playoffs.
The surface has been on the slower side. It's not easy to bat initially but when it comes to a set batter, he can make full use of the small grounds.
The weather will be clear with no threat of rain. The temperature will range between 24 and 19 degrees.

Kieron Pollard has been brilliant for MI Emirates. He is the leading run-scorer for the team with 294 runs in 7 games. Pollard can turn the game on its head and will be one of the key players for MI Emirates.
Muhammad Waseem has also enjoyed a decent season with the bat. He has scored 243 runs in 7 games at a strike rate of over 140. Despite having a few stalwarts in the team, Waseem has managed to fetch attention towards himself.
Paul Stirling has struggled in the tournament but he is still one of the most destructive batters going around. On a good day, he can be unstoppable and Abu Dhabi will need a good show from him.
DJ Bravo is not the same player he used to be but he still adds a lot of value to the team given his experience. He might not be a great option as a batter but his bowling still comes in very handy.
Fazalhaq Farooqi has impressed one and all with his all-round show in the tournament. He has taken 9 wickets in 7 games.
