Sharjah Warriors Team News & Playing 11
SJH Team News
Junaid Siddiqui and Dilshan Madushanka can come in the playing XI. Madushanka was dropped from the team after a few initial games while Siddiqui hasn’t played a game yet. Given how poorly team has performed, the two changes look very likely.
SJH Key Players
- Johnson Charles- Johnson Charles was out for two in the last game. He has enjoyed a decent season so far and is the team’s best batter, with 231 runs. Charles needs to continue performing if the team has to scrip a turnaround.
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore- Tom Kohler-Cadmore scored 39 in the last game. He scored 68 in the previous innings he batted. Cadmore has picked some decent form and will have to carry the team’s batting in the remaining games.
- Maheesh Theekshana- Maheesh Theekshana has bowled well, taking 11 wickets. The spinner has been very economical as well, going at less than seven runs per over.
SJH Team Form
The Warriors have been poor with the bat. Johnson Charles has got a few runs but others have been ordinary.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have done well in recent games and players have started to find form as well. We expect the team to go in with an unchanged playing XI.
