In his final match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium against the Desert Vipers, he scored 86 runs. For the MI Emirates, Nicholas Pooran will be another bat-risky player. In their previous game, MI Emirates’ bowling assault only claimed three wickets; hence, the complete bowling unit will need to perform better in this contest.

The winner of this match will be one match away from competing in the competition’s championship. MI Emirates and Dubai Capitals, the top two teams in the tournament, were inconsistent during the group stage. Although we anticipate Adam Zampa to pose a number of challenges for MI Emirates, we believe Dubai Capitals will be the lesser team overall. Our pick for this Eliminator game is the MI Emirates to win.
