Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
DV vs SWR, ILT20 2025 Preview
The Desert Vipers is comfortably placed at the top of the ILT20 2025 points table. Holding a formidable NRR of 0.776, the Vipers won each of their first four matches in a row before having their unbeaten streak snapped by Dubai Capitals. Much of the Vipers’ success can be attributed to the prolific form of their English batting trio of Sam Curran, Alex Hales and Dan Lawrence. Captain and fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, alongside Pakistani import Mohammad Amir, have both managed to deliver timely breakthroughs with the ball, while Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has ably helmed the spin department of the team.
The Sharjah Warriorz team has managed to register two wins amidst two defeats from four matches this ILT20 2025 season. Holding an NRR of -0.430, the Warriorz is currently ranked number five on the six-team standings. The Sharjah Warriorz group seems to be struggling with its batting department, considering no player, barring Avishka Fernando and Johnson Charles have managed to tally over 100 runs so far this tournament. Even captain and fast bowler Tim Southee appears to be undergoing a below-par season, as the speedster has maintained a bowling average of 28.40 despite being his team’s leading wicket-taker.
