ADKR vs SWR: Match 6 Preview

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Led by Knight Rider's favourite Sunil Narine, the Abu Dhabi side lost their first game of the season against Vipers after failing to defend 166 in their 20 overs. Powered by Phil Salt, who amassed 71 after consuming just 49 deliveries, they managed to reach a respectable total, which ultimately proved 15 runs short in the end. Alishan Sharafu and Andre Russell played fine hands of 46 and 30, respectively and would be hoping for more contributions like these in upcoming games.

Their bowlers looked largely ineffective, as they were able to bag just three wickets during the course of the game. On the table, they are at the bottom position with no points from the only match they have played so far.

Sharjah Warriorz

The change in captaincy brought a change in fortunes for Sharjah Warriorz, who finally got past Gulf Giants, ending their three-match losing streak. It was all possible because of one man, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who defied their fate to play a majestic innings of 83 from just 56 balls. And not to forget, this match went down to the wire, with TKC hitting the winning runs off the very last delivery with two required. 175 was never going to be easy, but decent support from Rohan Mustafa did wonders for them.

Skipper Tim Southee was the pick of the bowlers for them, with three wickets in his consistent spell of four overs. Still the early days in the competition, but they would be relieved after starting on a winning note and getting placed at third position with two points.

ADKR vs SWR: Weather And Pitch Report

Weather

It is not difficult to predict that Abu Dhabi will be sunny on Wednesday when these teams clash against each other in a high-voltage encounter. The temperatures at this time of the year usually stay in the mid-20s, and it will be no different this time around. Chances of rain remain zero throughout the day. All in all, this match will have no interruptions whatsoever.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi behaves well when compared to other places in the UAE. Remains consistent throughout, with a fair amount of movement for pacers and batters getting on with variable bounce. Spinners, however, will have to be wily when bowling here, primarily due to the fact that the pitch here hardly deteriorates. A score above 175 can be a daunting target for the chasing side but is still chasable, given the nature of the surface. Team winning the toss will most likely look to bowl first here.
