Tap a team to vote.
MI Emirates are clear favourites here, and we expect them to win comfortably if they play to their level.
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. They know these conditions, with one wins from one game at this venue, compared with one from three for Sharjah Warriors.
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.
