The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Gulf Giants are set to face off in Match No. 16 of the International League 2023 on Wednesday, January 25. The match will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The Knight Riders, led by Sunil Narine, have looked completely out of sorts in the championship. Having lost all five of their matches so far, they are tottering at the bottom of the points table with a poor net run rate of -2.854. They will go into the game after losing to MI Emirates by five wickets.
Andre Russell had to defend 20 runs off the last over, but Najibullah Zadran and Dwayne Bravo took 25 runs off him. Not only do the Knights need to get their first points on the board, but they also need to better their shambolic net run rate.
The Giants, on the other hand, are sitting pretty on the top of the table with eight points and a healthy net run rate of +1.451. After winning four matches in a row, they lost to the Sharjah Warriors by 21 runs in their previous game.
After opting to field first, the Giants restricted the Warriors to 151 for the loss of seven wickets. Chris Jordan was the pick of their bowlers with three wickets. Thereafter, Naveen-ul-Haq picked up a fifer to make sure that the Giants fell short of their target.
