SW vs DV Match Prediction & Analysis
Sharjah Warriors will take on the bottom-placed Desert Vipers in their last league stage game. It is a must-win game for the Warriors if they are to stay alive in the race to the playoffs.
And though Desert Vipers and at the bottom of the points table, they aren’t out of contention just yet. They have a better NRR than the 4th-placed Dubai Capitals.
If the Vipers manage to win here and the Capitals lose to MI Emirates in their last game, Vipers could well be on their way to the playoffs. All scenarios are possible at the stage of the ILT20 with the competition wide open.
The Warriors are coming here with a big win in their last match though they have been struggling with the bat big time. Vipers, on the other hand, have been relatively better in of batting and will pose a tough challenge in this game.
In the last head-to-head encounter between these two sides at this venue, it was the Warriors who came out on top with a 7-run victory. Can they make it two in two wins or will the Vipers level the scores?

TEAMS PREVIEW
Sharjah Warriors Preview
Sharjah Warriors secured a 7-wicket win in their last match while chasing down a target of 95 runs. It took them 83 balls to reach this total. In their last outing at Sharjah, they were bowled out for 75 runs batting first against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
Liam Livingstone’s 13-ball 30 runs knock in the last match was a huge positive for the Warriors. With Johnson Charles on national duty playing for the Windies down under in the T20I series, skipper Tom Kohler-Core has taken it up on himself to open the innings alongside Niroshan Dickwella.
Kohler-Core is an attacking batter known for his quick knocks. He will be the right choice for the Warriors and his performance is crucial for a good start. There is loads of experience in the middle-order with the likes of Martin Guptill, Joe Denly, and Sean Williams.
There is no dearth of talent or experience in this batting lineup. But the lack of consistency and form has troubled Sharjah Warriors for quite some time.
The opposition has a quality bowling attack with some in-form pacers and will pose a tough challenge to this struggling batting order. Unless the key players step up and deliver, the Warriors might be looking at a very tough time in Sharjah.
They’ve got a great variety in the bowling attack with Adil Rashid in great touch along with Chris Woakes and Daniel Sam. The Warriors will be confident after their recent bowling performance and will be backing their strengths to put themselves on top of the game.
Sharjah Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Tom Kohler-Core (c), Liam Livingstone, Sean Williams, Joe Denly, Daniel Sams, James Fuller, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Jawadullah

Desert Vipers Preview
Desert Vipers have one last chance at claiming their spot in the playoffs. A win here will not guarantee them a berth in the Eliminator but will keep their hopes alive.
And they’ve got everything to make this happen. Their batting returns seem to be much better than those of the Warriors. However, Vipers are not without their issues.
Their openers got them off to a flier in the last game. They were 2 down for 100 runs in the 10th Over but ended up with just 171 runs on the board. The middle-order failed to build on the foundation led by the openers.
In their previous outing, they conceded way too many runs at the death and failed to pick up wickets in that phase of the innings. And while they finished for 158 for 8 chasing 189 runs in that match, their loss would have been much bigger had it not been for the lower-order batters.
Desert Vipers were 5 down for 37 runs in the 6th Over while chasing such a big total in Abu Dhabi. It was never going to be easy chasing anything over 180 at that venue but Vipers didn’t even put a fight.
Their last win came chasing 161 runs in Dubai where Colin Munro and Azam Khan scored quick fifties in the middle-order. On the surface, the batting returns look better than the Warriors but the Vipers have also suffered a collapse, and that too in back-to-back games.
They too have the challenge of improving their batting against an in-form bowling attack that has just delivered one of their best performances of their league.
In the bowling attack, Maheesh Pathirana, Mohammad Amir, and Sam Curran hold the keys to success for the Desert Vipers.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing XI:
Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Philip Salt (wk), Michael Jones, Colin Munro (c), Sam Curran, Adam Hose, Daniel Lawrence, Ali Naseer, Mohammad Amir, Nathan Sowter

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch here tends to be great for batting when it's new but as the season progresses and it gets worn out, bowlers can find more help from the surface and make life difficult for the batters. In the last match played on this pitch, the Warriors were bowled out for 75 runs. There will be light rain in Sharjah on the matchday but it is likely to stop by the time the match begins and the weather will then be cloudy.

Moderate ScoringPace Bowling

High Turn
Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah will be the venue for this match. It is a great venue for T20s given its smaller boundaries allow for many sixes throughout the match. However, with the pitch assisting the bowlers, the average 1st innings score comes down to just 143 runs. We reckon the team batting first should aim for something around 170-175 to be in a match-winning position.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting first have won 3 of the 5 matches here this season. Recently it looked a bit tricky to bat here as the wicket offered more help to the bowlers. And considering the bowling strengths of both teams, we reckon they’d be in a better position to win this game if they bowl first.
SW vs DV
Winning Prediction
Both teams are struggling to get their batting in order. There are plenty of issues in both batting lineups. However, the Warriors, with their recent win, will be confident and will back their bowlers to put them ahead in this contest. Livingstone’s return to form can have a good effect on the others as well and we expect them to bounce back with the bat. As a result, Sharjah Warriors will start with a slight edge in our match prediction.
