Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
ABD Team News
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders registered a comprehensive win in the last game. We don't see any reason for the team to tinker with the winning combination.
ABD Key Players
- Michael Pepper - Michael Pepper played a whirlwind knock of 59 the last game. He also scored 38 vs MI Emirates. Runs behind him will be a huge confidence booster for Pepper heading into the next game.
- Andre Russell - Andre Russell has shown brutal hitting form in the ILT20 2024 so far. He scored 30 off 13 balls vs Giants in last game. He scored 46 off 17 vs MI and 26 of 10 vs Vipers as well.
- Sunil Narine - Sunil Narine has been the team's best bowler. He hasn't given anything away in terms of economy but he has been short on wickets. The team needs Narine to pick key wickets in middle overs.
ABD Team Form
Knight Riders have been inconsistent and the prime reason for the same is lack of runs from the main batters. The bowlers have fared better than the willow wielders.

Alishan Sharafu, Michael-Kyle Pepper (wk), Sam Hain, Andre Russell, Laurie Evans, Sagar Kalyan, Imad Wasim, Sunil Narine (c), David Willey, Marchant de Lange, Ali Khan, Joe Clarke (SUB)
Dubai Capitals Team News & Playing 11
DUB Team News
Dubai Capitals also registered a win in the last game and would like to retain the playing XI that yielded positive result for the side. Jake Frazer McGurk has left for Australia and won’t be available for the remainder of the league games.
DUB Key Players
- David Warner - David Warner has been horribly out of form in the tournament so far. However, keeping the law of average into account, one can back Warner to score runs in the coming games. A batter of Warner's calibre can't be out of form for long.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz - Rahmanullah Gurbaz has also been very ordinary after a fiery 81 in the first game. That being said, Gurbaz is a quality batter and a lot of team's hopes rest on him.
- Sikandar Raza - Sikandar Raza is a valuable addition to the team. The all-rounder possesses skills of a match winner with both bat and ball. Raza has made vital contributions for the team with bat as well as the ball. He has taken six wickets and scored 182 runs in the tournament.
DUB Team Form
The Capitals have also been inconsistent as the batters have failed to deliver a collective show in most games.
