SWR vs DV: Match 18 Preview
Sharjah Warriorz
The Sharjah Warriorz cricket team has managed to record just two wins from five matches this season so far. As of now, the Warriorz’ NRR reads a dismal -1.320 as they occupy the bottom half of the six-team points table. Batting seems to be a primary area of concern for the Warriorz, considering only Johnson Charles and Avishka Fernando have managed to tally over 100 runs this season. With the ball, captain Tim Southee and Adam Milne have taken the highest number of wickets among all Warriorz bowlers off late.
Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers franchise, under the leadership of Lockie Ferguson, started out with four wins in a row this season before losing to Dubai Capitals. However, the Vipers regained their winning momentum by defeating Sharjah Warriorz a couple of days ago. Fakhar Zaman, Alex Hales and Sam Curran seem to be in prolific touch with the bat off late. Fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and captain Ferguson himself have managed to rack up crucial wickets for the Vipers at various critical stages of the tournament.
