MI Emirates look the better side going into this one, and our pick is MI Emirates to win.
MI Emirates come in with the better form, having won four of their last five games, while Sharjah Warriors have won two of their last five. They also have the upper hand over Sharjah Warriors, winning 6 of the 9 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. That said, Sharjah Warriors have the better record at this ground (one win from one), which is why this is far from a sure thing.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 160, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

MIE vs SW Pitch Report
Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi
The surface at Zayed Cricket Stadium tends to give both batters and bowlers something to work with.
The first-innings average over the last 13 T20 games at this ground is 160, and 147 in the second innings. A score of 150-170 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 7 wins to 6 across the last 13 decided games.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
