It's high time in the ILT20 2025, where Sharjah Warriorz (SW) are gearing up to face Gulf Giants (GG) in Match number 21, to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on 26th January, Sunday. As they both are at the bottom of the table, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top from 7:30 PM IST.

Sharjah Warriorz

Languishing at the bottom of the table with four points from six games, are the Sharjah Warriorz, led by veteran Tim Southee. They only have two wins to show while suffering from four defeats in the season so far. Yesterday only, they received a thrashing from table toppers Desert Vipers, who completely disposed them by finishing the game inside 15 overs.

Sharjah batted first and posted 151 on the board, with top contributions coming from the English duo of Jason Roy (55) and Tom Kohler Cadmore (42). While in the bowling department, everyone except the Kiwi quick Adam Miller went flying across. Milne, who bowled a spell of three overs, gave away just 17 runs while picking up two wickets on the way.

Gulf Giants

Boosted by their recent victory over MI Emirates, the Gulf Giants have moved ahead one position to fifth place after having precisely the same standings as their rivals. They also have four points after six matches, while the only thing keeping them ahead of Sharjah is the net run rate, which is still in negative. Last night, they played out a thriller against Emirates, winning the game on the very final delivery by just two wickets.

MI started first and posted 151 on a wicket that was supporting pace bowlers with Mark Adair, Blessing Muzarabani, and Tom Curran bagging one each, while Australian pacer Daniel Worrall displayed class by ending up with figures of two for 19 in his four overs. Tom Alsop had a sluggish start with 32 runs from 36 balls, but they recovered well, with Namibian skipper Gerhard Erasmus scoring 37 from 28 balls with two sixes to his name. In the end, when one was required off the final ball, Muhammad Zuhaib took a single to finish the game.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium - Pitch Report For Match 21 Of ILT20 2025

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is renowned for being highly supportive of batters, especially in the second half. Pacers got quite a bit of help in the previous game here, mostly early on in the game. Spinners have not been as successful as predicted, with the pitch being primarily flat. Four matches have happened here so far this season, and all four of them have been won by the team chasing. Therefore, the team winning the toss will likely bowl first.

Top 3 Captain and Vice-Captain Choices For SWR vs GG

3. Mark Adair

Why Will Mark Adair Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

Irish pacer Mark Adair has been effective on the pitches in UAE as he has bagged nine wickets in 6 games at an excellent economy of 6.90 while maintaining the average of 16.88 with the ball. Adair has been consistent with this line and length, with wickets in every game he has played in this edition of ILT20.

In the last match against MI Emirates, Adair bowled an outstanding spell of 1/24 in his four overs while scoring 15 runs off eight deliveries to grab the Player of the Match award. Overall, he has 181 wickets in his T20 career, spanning 132 matches where his average has been under 20 with the ball. The pacer can be an outstanding asset for any side, considering his ability to swing the ball and score runs lower down the order.

2. Jason Roy

Why Will Jason Roy Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

Back in form after 11 games, England's Jason Roy finally thwacks a much-needed half-century against Desert Vipers while striking at 144.73. In the game before that, Roy managed to get 30 not out when the rest of the side struggled really badly, getting bowled out for just 91. Showing signs of getting back to form, the right-hander can be a pretty dangerous customer, considering the plethora of experience under his belt. 

In his overall T20 career, featuring in 383 matches around the world, he has 9,794 runs with an impressive strike rate of 140.53. There is no doubt that Roy is the kind of player who can be the captain or vice-captain of any team.

1. Gerhard Erasmus

Why Will Gerhard Erasmus Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

The Namibian captain Gerhard Erasmus has been in fine form throughout the outgoing ILT20 2025, where he has managed 140 runs from four games at an impressive average of 46.66 while his strike rate has been exactly 125. His scores in the past four games are 50*, 24, 29 and 37, which signifies his consistency in the tournament. 

Erasmus has 2,291 runs from 129 games while having a strike rate of 120.13. Gerhard is a critical player due to the fact he can also roll his arm over, considering he has 58 wickets in the format. Giants' dependence on him and his consistent run in the tournament makes him a great pick as captain or vice-captain of the side.
