ILT20 2025-26: Match 14, MIE vs SWR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s ILT20 match between MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriorz?

The Match No. 14 of ILT20 2025-26 will be played between MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriorz at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, December 14. This match will be the second instance this season that a day game will be played.

The MI Emirates have played four matches up until now. They have been alternating between losses and victories. They won their recent clash against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by a comfortable seven-wicket margin with 37 balls to spare. With a couple of wins and as many losses to their name, they will be willing to get a few more wins and pave their way to the knockouts’ qualification.

The Warriorz are yet to get off the mark in the season, indicating a very shambolic campaign thus far. They lost their first two matches after not being able to chase the oppositions’ targets. Their third match went right to the wire with Gulf Giants clinching the win by six wickets. With the fourth fixture for the season, the Sharjah-based franchise will be desperate to get a couple of points on the table.

Probable Top Performers from MIE vs SWR

Probable Best Batter: Tom Kohler-Cadmore

Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been in the UAE since the past month. He had participated in the Abu Dhabi T10 too. The top-order batter recently notched up a half-century and looked good in the middle. He can be expected to fire up at the top of the order, and score crucial runs to make his side get their first win of the season. 

Probable Best Bowler: Fazalhaq Farooqi

Fazalhaq Farooqi is coming off a stellar four-wicket haul in the last match. The left-arm seamer will have a lot of confidence going into this match. He can be a threat to the opposition if the Afghan is able to land the ball in the right zones. The skilled left-arm medium pace bowler can turn out to be the trump card of the MI Emirates on Sunday.
