Gulf Giants in the UAE have had a difficult few days after both of their most recent matches were called off without a ball being bowled. They have yet to have the chance to resume their winning ways following these two washouts, which occurred after they had lost their first match and four won.
MI Emirates will enter this match with a lot of confidence after a stunning 157-run victory over the top-ranked Desert Vipers in Sharjah on Sunday. Despite the fact that it was their first victory in four games, the victory allowed them to close the gap between the top two teams to just one point.

Andre Fletcher and Muhammad Waseem combined for 141 runs for the first wicket in MI Emirates’ outstanding top-order batting effort against the Desert Vipers. Fletcher scored 50 runs off 39 balls, and Waseem scored 86 runs off 44. Najibullah Zadran, who was eliminated for a two-ball duck, will be anxious to score in this game. Captain Kieron Pollard’s 50 not out from 19 balls was good. Any changes in XI would be a surprise for us.

Gulf Giants is the favorite to win this match.
This game has second playing third, so it shouldn’t be a low-quality contest. We anticipate the players to want to come out and play aggressive cricket after both teams’ recent days of no results. Both the Giants and the Emirates have outstanding batting talent at the top of the order, but we believe Chris Lynn and James Vince are the more reliable. We are betting on Gulf Giants to win as a consequence.
