Match Preview
MI Emirates are having a mixed campaign but will be confident after making a comeback with a 4-run win against Sharjah Warriors following their first-game loss. They are currently fifth on the points table, and with Jonny Bairstow and Nicholas Pooran leading the top order, they will be looking to continue their winning run.
Meanwhile, Desert Vipers are at the top of the table with three wins from three games. They have been riding well on the performances of Andries Gous, Sam Curran and Dan Lawrence, while their bowling unit has also impressed with Noor Ahmad and Khuzaima Tanveer controlling the attack.
Dan Lawrence has been doing well with both bat and ball, having already taken one wicket and scored 110 runs in the season, making him a strong captaincy pick. Sam Curran, batting in the top four and consistently contributing as a wicket-taker, will be a reliable choice for vice-captaincy.
