MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriorz meet in the 14th match of ILT20 2025-26 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The match falls in the early part of the league stage, when every result can shift the table, and both sides will want to build momentum.
MI Emirates have power and experience in a squad that includes Tom Banton, Kusal Perera, Muhammad Waseem, Romario Shepherd, Chris Woakes, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Shakib Al Hasan. Sharjah Warriorz are led by Tim Southee and can call on Johnson Charles, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Tim David, Sikandar Raza, Dinesh Karthik and Adil Rashid among others.
Conditions in Abu Dhabi should be good for cricket, with a balanced pitch and a mild evening. Our preview expects the middle overs and the death overs to decide the game rather than sheer power-hitting, and gives MI Emirates a slight edge.
