SJH vs EMI T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, ILT20 2023

Sharjah Warriors will have a face-off again with MI Emirates in the 6th match of the International League T20 on 17th January at Sharjah Cricket Stadium at 7:30 PM IST. MI Emirates will eye on their 2nd win of the season to maintain the streak. On the other hand, Sharjah Warriors will spare no effort to win this match. 

Sharjah Warriors

Sharjah Warriors were seen to be struggling in both their two matches. The team has lost both matches but will seek to take revenge in this match. They were beaten by 49 runs by MI Emirates in their recent clash. We expect them to give this team to be given one more chance to prove themselves as these are still early days of the tournament

SJH Team Batting

The team boasts of very good T20 batters in their ranks such as Rahnamullah Gurbaz, Evin Lewis, and Moeen Ali, but they are still to perform up to their expectation. Chris Woakes who comes to bat at no 8 was the highest contributor with 62 runs in the last match. Along with him, Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 65 runs in two matches at an average of 32.50. We expect the likes of Dawid Malan, Evin Lewis, and Mohammad Nabi to come back well in this match and contribute to their team.

SJH Team Bowling

The bowling of the team has not been good in the two matches they have played and has allowed the batsman to score freely. They lack some penetration in their bowling lineup as Chris Woakes is their main bowler, who doesn't have tasted much success in the T20 format. We expect the bowlers to come good as they have bowlers like Kartik Meiyeppan who took a hatrick in T20 World Cup against Sri Lanka.

SJH Team Form

The team has not played up to the expectations and needs to revisit their strategy. They will have to fire with both bat and ball if they need to win this match MI Emirates are looking more complete team for this match

MI Emirates

MI Emirates started their campaign in an emphatic style by beating the same opposition by the margin of 49 runs. The team has some of the best T20 batsmen and bowlers in their line up and they will look to field the same playing 11 for this match.

EMI Team Batting

Muhammad Waseem was sensational at the top of the order scoring 71 runs off only 39 balls at an impressive strike rate of 182.05. Nicholas Pooran showed how dangerous he is with the bat when he scored 49 runs with 4 hits over the fence. Will Smeed missed out on an opportunity to score but will look to take on bowlers in the reverse fixture.

EMI Team Bowling

The Afghanistan pace bowler set the tone upfront when he dismissed two top-order batsmen in two successive balls in his first over. Imran Tahir was also among the wickets taking 3 of them at an impressive economy of 6.50. Trent Boult was a bit expensive in the first match but we back a bowler of his caliber to deliver in this match.

EMI Form

Given the excellent bowling and batting of the team, MI Emirates had a great start in the tournament. The team is totally in good form and we expect them to move to the top of the points table.
