The MI Emirates are ready to lock horns with the Sharjah Warriorz for the 28th match of the ILT20 2025. They will be meeting for the second time in this league and the game is staged at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The match is set to commence at 3:30 PM IST.

MI Emirates

MI Emirates have had a decent campaign in the 2025 ILT20 season, securing five wins in nine matches to finish second on the points table. After a strong start with victories over Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, they faced setbacks against Vipers and Giants but regained momentum with dominant wins, including a massive 154-run triumph over the Vipers. 

Led by a balanced squad with explosive batting and disciplined bowling, MI Emirates will look to carry their winning momentum from their recent victory over the Giants into the knockout stage as they aim for the championship title.

Sharjah Warriorz

Sharjah Warriorz have endured an inconsistent run in the 2025 ILT20 season, finishing third on the table with four wins and five losses. Despite a tough phase where they suffered three consecutive defeats, the Warriorz bounced back strongly with back-to-back victories against Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, showcasing their resilience. 

Their batting unit has shown potential, but their bowling has been under pressure in crucial moments. With a prior nine-wicket loss to MI Emirates earlier in the tournament, the Warriorz will be eager to settle the score and bring their best game forward in the upcoming clash.

How will the Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch behave?

The Sheikh Zayed Stadium is a high-scoring venue. The pitch provides excellent batting conditions with true bounce, favouring the batters as the ball comes to the bat nicely. While pacers might find some initial swing, it's predominantly a batter-friendly surface, making it challenging for bowlers. Recent ILT20 results show a preference for batting first at this ground, with the majority of wins going to teams setting a target.

Players to watch out for in MIE vs SWR Match 28 

Key Players For MI Emirates

Tom Banton

The explosive opener has been in outstanding form, scoring 380 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 152.61. With two centuries in the tournament, including a 105 off 55 balls recently, Tom Banton’s aggressive approach at the top will be crucial in setting the tone for MI Emirates.

Fazalhaq Farooqi

The left-arm pacer has been MI Emirates’ leading wicket-taker with 19 scalps in nine matches, boasting a stunning five-wicket haul against Dubai Capitals. Fazalhaq Farooqi's ability to strike early and control the death overs will be vital against the Warriorz’ batting lineup.

Nicholas Pooran

The West Indian wicketkeeper-batter has been a match-winner for MI Emirates, striking at nearly 160 and averaging over 41 in the tournament. Nicholas Pooran's powerful finishing ability, including crucial fifties against Dubai Capitals and Gulf Giants, makes him a key figure in the middle order.

Key Players For Sharjah Warriorz

Johnson Charles

The aggressive opener has been in top form, scoring 291 runs at a blistering strike rate of 169.19. With recent explosive knocks of 71 off 33 and 65 off 35, Johnson Charles' ability to take on MI Emirates’ bowlers in the powerplay will be crucial.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore

Averaging 51.20 in the tournament, Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been a consistent run-scorer for the Warriorz. His ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a solid strike rate makes him a key middle-order batter against MI Emirates’ strong bowling attack.

Jason Roy

Despite a modest tournament, Jason Roy has shown glimpses of form, including a vital 55 off 38 against the Vipers. As an experienced T20 campaigner, his ability to stabilize the innings and accelerate when needed will be important in tackling MI Emirates’ pacers.
