Dubai Capitals are favorites to win
Dubai Capitals will take on Sharjah Warriors at the Dubai International Stadium.. Match 9 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 14:00 local time on Saturday 21st January.
After beginning the tournament with a win over Abu Knight Riders, it has been two successive defeats for Dubai Capitals. They lost Match 5 to Gulf Giants by six wickets with six balls remaining before being thrashed by the same opposition by 101 runs in Match 8.
The less said about Dubai Capitals’ batting on Thursday the better. Chasing a tough, but not out of reach, total of 182 to beat the Giants, the Capitals were dismissed inside 15 overs for 80. Only England’s Joe Root and Dasun Shanaka hit scores in the 20s.
There were two wickets apiece for Isuru Udana and Akif Raja in the last game with both of them bowling four overs each. In the previous game against the Giants, Mujeeb Ur Rahman had taken two wickets. The bowling attack has been weakened by Sikandar Raza returning to Zimbabwe for the ODI series against Ireland.
Dubai Capitals are facing their third defeat in a row in this match.
Alongside Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Sharjah Warriors are still looking for their first win as they go into their fourth game of the season. So far they have been beaten twice by MI Emirates with Desert Vipers also getting a win over the Warriors.
English batters have top scored for Sharjah Warriors in all three games but they have not produced enough runs to win a match. Chris Woakes hit 62 runs from 29 balls in Match 2 and it was Tom Kohler-Cadmore who top scored in the last game. More is expected of Dawid Malan and captain Moeen Ali up the order.
Sharjah Warriors have taken only 12 wickets across their three games and this is an area that they need to work on if they are to start putting wins on the board. They took only one wicket in their last match at this venue and the likes of Naveen-ul-Haq, who is yet to dismiss a batter in three games, need to step up.
Sharjah Warriors have lost three in a row and would become the first team in the ILT20 to make it four if they lose this match.
The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium. We expect a par total to be around 180 on this pitch which has good pace and carry.

Robin Uthappa (wk), Joe Root, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Rovman Powell (c), Sikandar Raza, Dasun Shanaka, Ravi Bopara, Isuru Udana, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Hazrat Luqman, Akif Raja

Both teams have had very disappointing starts to the tournament and currently occupy the bottom two places in the ILT20. Although Dubai Capitals have picked up one win, the scale of their defeat to Gulf Giants will have worried their team management. We expect a close game but are predicting that Dubai Capitals will produce a much better performance in this game. We are backing Dubai Capitals to win.
