In the 15th fixture of the ILT20 2025 season, Desert Vipers will be up against Sharjah Warriorz. The match is scheduled on January 22 at the Dubai International Stadium starting from 8.00 PM IST.

Desert Vipers

Desert Vipers are having a stellar season as they are seated at the top of the table with 4 wins in 5 games, accumulating 8 points. However, they lost the winning momentum against the Dubai Capitals in the previous contest. 

A batting collapse led to a 139-run first-inning finish. Only Alex Hales managed to surpass the 30-run mark. The chase was easy for Dubai Capitals as Gulbadin Naib slammed 78* off 51 balls to steal a 6-wicket victory. While the Vipers’ winning streak was broken, they still possess a balanced and formidable side capable of turning the tide.

Sharjah Warriorz

Sharjah Warriorz, on the other hand, are having an abysmal season with 2 wins in 4 games, dropping down to fifth on the points table. In their previous game against MI Emirates, Sharjah managed to put 176 runs on the board corset to J Charles’ 59 runs. However, Tom Banton and Kusal Perera made a mockery of their total in the second inning. 

Both batters stitched a 157-run partnership to seal a dominant 9-wicket win. Banton slammed 102* off 55 balls to steal the limelight. That being said, the Warriorz are in a difficult position. They need a victory in the upcoming game to stay alive in the competitive playoff sport.

How will the Dubai pitch behave?

Dubai’s pitch is known to favour the batting side. While pacers may generate movement with the new ball, batters will continue to dominate the proceedings for most part of the game. Dew might settle in the second inning, making spinners’ life difficult due to loss of grip. Overall, the team winning the toss must opt to bowl first to take advantage of the surface. Moreover, the average first-inning score on this wicket is around 155. But given the trend this ILT20 season, anything above 170 should be a par total.

Players to watch out for in DV vs SWR Match 15

Desert Vipers

Sam Curran: Curran has amassed a total of 158 runs in ILT20 2025 and is Vipers’ highest run scorer. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key asset.

Dan Lawrence: The batter hit 148 runs in 5 games and has made a difference with small contributions. However, he needs to convert those starts into big scorers to contribute to the winning cause.

Lockie Ferguson: The skipper has picked up 8 wickets this season with a reasonable economy. His accuracy and precision with the new ball will be key for Vipers to scalp early wickets.

Sharjah Warriorz

Johnson Charles: Charles made a notable contribution of 59 runs in the last game and seems in good touch. He can anchor the inning and play deep as a top-order batter.

Tim Southee: The skipper has picked up 5 wickets so far in the season. His experience and leadership qualities definitely make him a player to watch out for.

Adam Milne: The pacer has produced magical spells with the new ball this season and is capable of fetching wickets in the powerplay. Hence, Milne is Warriorz's crucial card to restrict the flow of runs in the first six overs.
