ADKR vs SWR: Match 6 Preview

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders lost to Desert Vipers by seven wickets and eight balls to spare in their opening match of the ILT20 2025 season a couple of days ago in Abu Dhabi. Batting first, opener Phil Salt clubbed a majestic half-century before middle-order batters Alishan Sharafu and Andre Russell added finishing touches to the innings. Defending 167, captain Sunil Narine, Shahid Bhutta and Russell bowled effective wicket-taking spells but collectively failed to halt Sam Curran’s run-chase rampage. With a defeat upfront, the Knight Riders’ NRR currently stands at -0.700.

Sharjah Warriorz

Sharjah Warriorz, under the leadership of New Zealand pace legend Tim Southee, won its opening match of the season against Gulf Giants by three wickets in a high-scoring last-ball thriller. Chasing 175, opening batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore anchored throughout the innings and even notched up the winning runs during his unbeaten 56-ball 83*. Captain Southee also led from the front, albeit with the ball, by picking up three key wickets in his four-over spell. The win handed the Warriorz an NRR of 0.050 as they currently find themselves among the top three sides on the points table.

ADKR vs SWR: Fantasy Cricket Tips

The pitch report of the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium indicates that it is imperative for captains to pick explosive top-order batters and wicket-taking spin options. Attacking opener Phil Salt will likely play a crucial role for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders at the top, while the all-round skills of mischievous spinner and pinch-hitter Sunil Narine will also come in handy for his team. For the Sharjah Warriorz, captain Tim Southee will be backed to make early breakthroughs with the new ball.

ADKR vs SWR: Winner Prediction

Unbeaten Sharjah Warriorz will be considered as slight favorites to defeat winless Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in match number six of the ILT20 2025 season.
