Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The Sharjah Warriors and Gulf Giants are set to lock horns in Match No. 30 of the International League 2023 on Sunday, February 5. The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

The Giants, led by James Vince, are already through to the playoffs and have already secured a spot in the standings. They currently have 14 points to their name with a net run rate of +1.235. They can afford to take a back seat in their final league game.

They will go into the match after beating Colin Munro’s Desert Vipers by 25 runs on February 4. Shimron Hetmyer won the award for Player of the Match after he scored 54 runs off 35 balls with the help of two fours and four sixes.

The Warriors, led by Moeen Ali, on the other hand, have everything to play for. It’s a do-or-die situation for them, as they are placed fifth in the table with seven points and a net run rate of -0.399.

After the Dubai Capitals beat the MI Emirates in their last league game, the pressure is on the Warriors to secure a victory and displace the Capitals from the fourth spot in the points table.
