VIP vs SJH Pitch Report
The pitch will be good for batting. We don’t expect the pitch to favours the bowlers much but putting the ball in good areas always helps.
Sharjah Weather Report
The weather will be cloudy and there is some rain predicted as well. However, rain chances stand only at 5 per cent so that should not be a concern.

Desert Vipers Team News & Playing 11
VIP Team News
There is no clear update as to why Matheesha Pathirana is not playing for Vipers. There could be some fitness concerns but the pacer has joined the squad, as per Desert Vipers. He could be slotted in the playing XI if he if fit and available to play.
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales- Hales has not fired yet in ILT20 2024 but he is just too good a player to go without scoring for a long period of time. We are backing Alex Hales to return to form and play a match winning innings for his team.
- Wanindu Hasaranga- Hasaranga is a key player for the Vipers given his all-round abilities. He is the team’s best spinner and a very capable batter down the order. He has already delivered a match winning performance for the team against Gulf Giants.
- Shaheen Afridi- Shaheen Afridi bowled a lethal spell against Giants and bagged three wickets. He, however, did not get wickets against Knight Riders. But he bowled well and gave just 31 runs.
VIP Team Form
The Vipers have lost two games but the team is very strong on paper and should return to winning ways soon.

Sharjah Warriors Team News & Playing 11
SJH Team News
Sharjah Warriors have lost two games but on paper they look a well balanced team with good batters and bowlers. They should back their players and stick to the same combination for the next game as well.
SJH Key Players
- Johnson Chares- Charles has got off to a great start to the tournament. He is the leading run scorer of the ILT20 2024 so far, with 151 runs in three games, including two half-centuries.
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore- The batter has shown no form so far and was even out for a golden duck in last game vs MI Emirates. However, Cadmore is a very talented player and should not take too long to return to form. When he gets going, it is hard to stop him.
- Maheesh Theekshana- Maheesh Theekshana has been top notch with the ball for the Warriors. He is the leading wicket-taker for the team, with seven wickets in three matches.
SJH Team Form
Warriors have lost two games but the team looks good on paper. The reason for the defeats is that the batters and bowlers have not done well as a unit. The batters have scored a few runs but bowlers have failed to defend. But dew has also played a part.
Sharjah Warriors Predicted Playing 11
Johnson Charles, Tom Kohler-Cadmore (c), Joe Denly, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Lewis Gregory, Basil Hameed, Daniel Sams, Chris Woakes, Muhammad Jawadullah, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Martin Guptill (SUB)

Desert Vipers are clear favourites to win. The Vipers have more quality in the team.

Warriors too have a few good batters but their bowling looks on the weaker side at the moment. For us, Vipers will start the match as favourites.
