MI Emirates are favorites to win
The 2nd Match of the International League T20 will take place between MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriors on 14th January at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
MI Emirates, owned by the Reliance Industries who are also the owners of the most successful IPL team Mumbai Indians. The team will be led by one of the top Mumbai Indians all-rounders Kieron Pollard who has recently retired from the IPL.
The batting unit at the MI Emirates has the Afghanistan batter Najibullah Zadran, Netherlands batter Bas de Leede, Samit Patel, Nicholas Pooran, Will Smeed and skipper Kieron Pollard. All these players have a good T20 format. Samit Patel has been part of the various leagues and he is also a handy spinner as well. Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard are powerhitters in this format.
The bowling department comprises Trent Boult, Dwayne Bravo, Brad Wheal, Jordan Thompson, Fazalhaq Farooqi for the pace attack and Imran Tahir, Samit Patel and Zahir Khan for the spin. We can say that these bowlers can make a brilliant combination to tear down any batting attack.
Since this is the first match for the MI Emirates in this league, we cannot predict the overall team form but these players are certainly in good form as seen recently.
Sharjah Warriors is owned by an Indian Corporate Group, Capri Global with former Indian fielding coach R Shridhar as its team director. England spinner all-rounder Moeen Ali will lead the Warriors in the inaugural season of the ILT20 2023.
The batting line-up looks pretty strong in this Warriors team. We have the England batters Moeen Ali, Dawid Malan and Tom Kohler-Cadmore along with destructive batters Evin Lewis and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Mohammad Nabi and Chris Woakes can also bat well at times.
All eyes will be on Afghanistan bowler Noor Ahmed and Oman pacer Bilal Khan as they get to team up with some of the best international players. Chris Woakes, JJ Smit and Noor Ahmed will lead the pace attack while the spin attack will be handled by Moeen Ali and Mohammad Nabi.
The team squad looks quite strong and once they kick-off their campaign in this first match then we can talk about their overall form as a team.
Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi has a slow pitch which allows the bowlers to have an upper hand over the batters as it becomes difficult to hit the ball out of the boundary. The average innings score is 137.
