Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Sharjah Warriors are set to lock horns in Match 28 of the International League T20 2023 on Saturday, February 4. The match will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

The Knight Riders, led by Sunil Narine, have had absolutely nothing go in their favor this season. Having lost eight out of their nine matches, they are tottering at the bottom of the International League T20 table with a disastrous net run rate of -2.200.

The solitary point they had was due to an abandoned match against James Vince’s Gulf Giants. They will go into this game after losing to Kieron Pollard’s MI Emirates by 18 runs on Friday after failing to chase down 181.

The Warriors, led by Moeen Ali, on the other hand, are placed fourth in the table with seven points and a net run rate of -0.229. However, Rovman Powell’s Dubai Capitals have every chance of going past them in the points table.

The Warriors have two matches remaining in this year's International League T20 and don’t have much room for slipups. They will go into this match after losing to the Desert Vipers by 22 runs on January 31.
