Desert Vipers are favorites to win
Sharjah Warriors will take on Desert Vipers at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Match 23 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 18:00 local time on Monday 31st January.
After a very poor start to the season which saw them lose their opening three games, the Warriors are now unbeaten in four matches and sit in fourth place only three points behind the teams at the top of the table. They won their last game by four wickets with 18 balls remaining.
There have been some changes to the batting line up for Sharjah Warriors over recent games with captain Moeen Ali heading to South Africa for the ODI series. Australia’s Marcus Stoinis has joined the side in the middle-order after Melbourne Stars were eliminated from the BBL.
Although they won their last game against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in Match 19, they only took four wickets. Essex all-rounder Paul Walter dismissed two batters with Naveen ul-Haq and Noor Ahmed picking up a wicket each. We expect the quicker bowlers to be the most threatening on this pitch.
Sharjah Warriors are unbeaten in their last four games, winning three with one no-result.
Top of the table Desert Vipers come into this match looking to avoid their first successive defeat of the tournament. They didn’t just lose their last game, they were thrashed by 157 runs by MI Emirates after being dismissed for 84. It will be very interesting to see how they respond in this clash.
The Vipers have been scoring runs for fun across this competition but their batters had a very poor day on Sunday. Only three of their team, captain Colin Munro, Tom Curran and Mark Watt managed to get into double figures, but we expect the likes of Alex Hales and Sam Billings to contribute in this game.
Conceding 241-3 from 20 overs, there were only wickets for Tom Curran and Mattheesha Pathirana in the last match. Left-arm pace bowler Luke Wood, who had enjoyed a strong personal campaign with the ball for Melbourne Stars in the BBL, made his first appearance for the Vipers on Sunday.
Desert Vipers have lost only two game across the competition but those two defeats came in the last four matches.
The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. We saw a total posted of 241-3 in the last fixture at this venue. A par score will be over 190 and there is pace in the pitch for the quick bowlers to use.

Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro (c), Sam Billings (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Benny Howell, Mark Watt, Tom Curran, Luke Wood, Shiraz Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
With the performance of Desert Vipers in the last game, this fixture could be a lot closer than most would have anticipated only a week ago. Sharjah Warriors have improved their results and performances and in Marcus Stoinis they have a real match-winner with the bat. We are predicting a high scoring match with top of the table Desert Vipers getting the win
