There is very little between these two sides. We give Sharjah Warriors a narrow edge, at 52% to win.
Sharjah Warriors are in better shape, with two wins from their last five games against one from five for Gulf Giants. The ground suits them as well: they have won one of their three games here, compared with no from one for Gulf Giants. It is not one-way traffic, though: Gulf Giants lead the head-to-head record 5-3, so Gulf Giants cannot be written off.
Sides batting second have done better at this ground, so expect the toss winner to bowl. A first-innings total of about 165 looks par for this game.
