The Sharjah Warriors and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are set to lock horns in the 19th match of the International League 2023 on Saturday, January 28. The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.

The Knight Riders, led by Sunil Narine, got off to the worst possible start in the tournament. They lost five matches in a row and struggled to find the winning combination. However, they got their first points after their previous match against the Gulf Giants was washed away.

Their net run rate of -2.854 is the worst among the six teams taking part in the tournament. Not only do they need to string together some wins, but they also need to take care of their net run rate. Against the Warriors, the task may not be all that easy.

The Sharjah Warriors, on the other hand, began their journey with three defeats on the trot. However, victories in their last two matches have put their campaign back on track. They are placed fifth in the table with five points and a net run rate of +0.361.

Their previous match against the Dubai Capitals couldn’t produce a result due to rain. But the Warriors would be pretty happy with their bowlers after reducing their opponents to 17 for four in five overs. Naveen-ul-Haq and Junaid Siddiqui picked up two wickets apiece.
