Sharjah Warriorz

Sharjah Warriorz, on the other side, are coming on the back of four wins in a row, including one against MI Emirates in the Eliminator match.

It was a complete team performance from Tim Southee and his men as the Warriorz got over the line against a strong MI Emirates side quite comprehensively, beating them by six wickets with more than one over remaining.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been their star batter for the Sharjah based franchise with kiwi speedsters Adam Milne and Tim Southee leading the bowling attack.

The Warrioz have never got through this stage of the tournament in the first two editions. Therefore, eyeing their first Final, Sharjah Warriorz will be aiming to continue their winning momentum and make it five wins in a row with a berth in the Final.
