MI Emirates are favorites to win
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will take on MI Emirates at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Match 11 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 18:00 local time on Saturday 21st January.
It is now four straight defeats for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the tournament after they were thrashed by 111 runs by Desert Vipers in Match 9 on Friday evening. They have lost all four games by big margins and have shown little sign of turning their form around.
If it hadn’t been for Andre Russell, who hit 57 runs from 29 balls on Friday, Abu Knight Riders would have been dismissed for far less than the 108 they managed. Chasing 220 for victory, they were out of the game inside five overs as they fell to 18-4.
Sri Lanka pace bowler, Lahiru Kumara, took 2-31 in Friday’s defeat after taking 0-35 in his first appearance of the tournament on Wednesday. No player for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders has taken more than two wickets in any game of the competition.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will have lost five in a row if they lose this match on Saturday evening.
Although Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have played four games and all the other sides have played three, MI Emirates have played only two matches so far. They have won both of their games, both against Sharjah Warriors, and come into this match in third place.
UAE opener Muhammad Waseem has top scored for MI Emirates in both games and has already hit over 100 runs across the two matches. He opens the batting with Will Smeed but it is Nicholas Pooran who has also been in good form, hitting 88 runs from his first two innings.
Pace off bowlers have had the most success for MI Emirates in their opening matches. South African spinner Imran Tahir took 3-26 in Match 2 before Dwayne Bravo, the all-time IPL top wicket taker, took 3-25 from four overs on Tuesday.
MI Emirates have had a brilliant start to the season and are targeting their third successive win in this game.
The match will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. This is a good batting surface with pace in the wicket for the stroke makers and quick bowlers to take advantage of.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders clearly have players with talent but, for whatever reason, they have failed to perform to anywhere near the required level in their opening four matches. In this game, they are up against MI Emirates who have started the tournament brilliantly with bat and ball. We are predicting another comfortable victory for MI Emirates.
