Gulf Giants are placed last at the points table after losing four out of the six games. The team, however, still is in the race for playoffs but they can't afford to lose more games. The Giants suffered a crushing six wicket defeat to Desert Vipers in previous games. Batting first, Giants could only score 160-7 and the Vipers cruised to win without breaking a sweat.

Gulf Giants Team News & Playing 11
GUL Team News
The Giants made a wholesale of changes in the previous game, with Gerald Erasmus, Chris Jordan and Blessing Muzarabani coming into the team. The Giants should stick to the combination for a few matches now. However, we feel there is scope for Saurabh Netravalkar in the playing XI.
GUL Key Players
- Chris Lynn- Chris Lynn has been in stunning form in ILT20 2024 . The destructive Aussie has played just four games so far but is already their fourth highest run getter, with 198 runs to his name.
- Shimron Hetmyer- Shimron Hetmyer adds a lot of brute force in the batting. Hetmyer does not need to face 50 balls to make an impact. The West Indian is known for his exhilarating stroke-making and can change the complexion of a game in a couple of overs. Hetmyer scored 40 in 23 balls in last outing.
- Blessing Muzarabani- Blessing Muzarabani has the potential to be a game changer for Giants with the ball. The pacer has enjoyed a great run in the last couple of years and it is his opportunity to impress a few T20 franchises for tournaments across the globe.
GUL Team Form
The Giants average score this season has been just around the 160 run mark which is not good enough to win matches, especially when the team is defending a score.
Gulf Giants Predicted Playing 11
Jamie Smith (wk), James Vince (c), Chris Lynn, Jordan Cox, Usman Khan, Gerhard Erasmus, Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Jordan, Jamie Overton, Zuhaib Zubair/Saurabh Netravalkar, Blessing Muzarabani

Sharjah Warriors replaced Tom Kohler-Cadmore with Sean Williams in the previous game. The team also brought in Mark Dayal and James Fuller. Cadmore will return to the team as he is the captain of the side while Junaid Siddique can replace Jawadullah.
SJH Key Players
- Johnson Charles- Johnson Charles has been the best batter for Warriors this season. Charles is the second leading run scorer of the tournament with 229 runs in six matches.
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore- Tom Kohler-Cadmore is arguably the most talented batter of the team. Even though the batter has not had a tournament as expected, he will have an opportunity to turn things around when he comes to bat. Cadmore scored 68 and won Man of the Match when he last batted for the side.
- Maheesh Theekshana- Maheesh Theekshana by far has been the best bowler for Sharjah Warriors. The spinner has bamboozled batters, accounting for 11 wickets in six matches.
SJH Team Form

Sharjah Warriors Predicted Playing 11
