International League T20 2023, Match 23, Sharjah Warriors vs Desert Vipers: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Sharjah Warriors and Desert Vipers are set to face each other in Match No.23 of the International League 2023 on Tuesday, January 31. The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
The Warriors, led by Moeen Ali, started their campaign in the worst possible manner after losing their first three matches. However, they have made a stupendous comeback by winning three of their last four games. Their other game against the Dubai Capitals was called off due to rain.
They will go into the match after beating Sunil Narine’s Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by four wickets on January 28. Rahmanullah Gurbaz became the Player of the Match after he scored 56 off 39. On the back of his knock, the Warriors chased down 150 with three overs to spare.
The Vipers, led by Colin Munro, on the other hand, are placed second in the table with 10 points and a net run rate of +0.445. But their confidence would have dipped quite a bit after their heavy 157-run defeat at the hands of MI Emirates on Sunday.
After opting to field first, their bowlers faltered as the Emirates racked up a huge score of 241 for the loss of three wickets. The Vipers went down without a fight after being bowled out for 84 in 12.1 overs.
