Preview:
Unbeaten MI Emirates will square off with winless Sharjah Warriors in the 6th match of the International League 2023, on January 17 (Tuesday) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Kieron Pollard-led Emirates had earlier defeated the Warriors when they faced each other in the second game. While Emirates will be hoping to clinch a second win in the competition, the Warriors will be desperate to register their maiden win. Let's look at the match prediction based on stats and numbers.
Toss Prediction:
Sharjah Warriors have a 50 per cent record in winning the tosses in the competition, while Emirates are yet to open their accounts in that regard. Taking their past result into consideration, Sharjah Warriors are likely to win the toss in the upcoming fixture.
Win Possibility:
Muhammad Waseem hammered the Warriors' bowlers when the team clashed a few days back. In 39 deliveries, the right-handed Waseem blasted 71 runs with the help of five maximums and as many as boundaries. Besides Waseem, Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard made key contributions with the bat. Another Caribbean DJ Bravo made a brief but blistering cameo at the end as he scored 21 off just 10 deliveries.
Emirates have an experienced bowling lineup with Trent Boult, Imran Tahir, and Dwayne Bravo featuring in the squad. Meanwhile, Sharjah Warriors are struggling to find some momentum in the competition as their batters have failed so far. Evin Lewis, Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali are yet to perform up to their reputation. Prediction says MI Emirates are likely to win the next fixture, while Sharjah Warriors will have to wait for their maiden win.
Average powerplay and 1st innings score:
The surface at Sharjah Cricket Stadium is relatively batting-friendly in the first innings but does provide assistance to spinners. As per the prediction, the powerplay score should be between 42-52, while the 1st innings score will be restricted between 165-175.
