Match Preview
Gulf Giants had a poor campaign last season, finishing fifth on the points table after winning just four of their ten games. They have a strong top order this time with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and James Vince, while Kyle Mayers, Moeen Ali and Azmatullah Omarzai provide the perfect balance in the middle order as they look to start their campaign on a positive note.
Meanwhile, MI Emirates had an average season last year, qualifying with five wins from ten matches before losing the Eliminator against Sharjah Warriors. They have the likes of Nicholas Pooran, Jonny Bairstow and Kieron Pollard, while Shakib Al Hasan and Romario Shepherd strengthen the middle order and give the side solid depth.
Moeen Ali has been in fine form recently, scoring 205 runs at an average of 68.33 in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, and with his bowling ability as well, he is a strong captaincy option. Shakib Al Hasan needs no introduction to his all-round skills, making him an obvious pick for vice-captaincy in this game.
