ILT20 2025: Predicting Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Playing XI for their clash against Sharjah Warriorz

Check out the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Playing XI as they prepare for their clash against Sharjah Warriorz in ILT20 2025. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) will take on the Sharjah Warriorz (SWR) in the 25th match of the ongoing International League T20 2025 (ILT20 2025). Sharjah’s Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host this game on January 30, at 8:00 PM (IST). It will be an all-important and must-win game for the ADKR to keep their hopes alive for the tournament’s knockout stage. 

ADKR are currently in fourth place with three wins and four defeats in their seven games, having six points. They are coming off three defeats and two wins in their last five games. A win in this game will help them move to the third spot, surpassing the Dubai Capitals. 

Predicted Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Playing XI for their next clash against the Sharjah Warriorz:

Openers:

The star opening pair of Kyle Mayers and wicketkeeper-batter Andries Gous was in brilliant form in the last game against Dubai Capitals. The duo stitched a quick and fiery partnership of 5.3 overs. Kyle Mayers scored 35 runs off 21 balls, with 4 fours and two sixes. 

On the other hand, Andries Gous scored 27 runs off just 17 balls, with six fours. So, the Knight Riders management will go ahead with the same pair of Mayers and Gous. 

Middle Order:

The middle order of the Knight Riders will start with the number three batter Michael Pepper followed by Charith Asalanka at number four. Asalanka played a blistering knock of 74 runs off just 38 balls, hitting six fours and four sixes. He was also the most run-getter for his side in that game. 

Alishan Sharafu will also be there to play for his side at number five. He also played a crucial knock of 36 runs off just 21 balls, hitting five fours and a six. 

All-Rounders:

The veteran Caribbean duo of the all-rounder Andre Russell and Jason Holder. Both the stars can leave a crucial impact both with the bat and the ball. However, they failed to impress with the bat in the last game but scalped a wicket each with the ball in the second innings. 

So, it would be a wise decision for the Knight Riders to go ahead with the same all-rounder duo of Andre Russell and Jason Holder. 

Bowlers:

The bowling quartet of the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will include skipper Sunil Narine as a specialist spinner. He will be accompanied by the pace bowling trio of David Willey, Roston Chase, and Ibrar Ahmed. 

Roston Chase didn’t bowl in the last game but he is expected to take charge for his side in the next game against the Sharjah Warriorz. Sunil Narine bowled quite a bit economical spell amidst the poor performance of the other bowlers. However, the team management is expected to field the same bowling combination in the next game as well.
